My Assistant For Today Will Be...

I'd just gotten started on decorating the tree when Sugar, my mostly-blind, ancient, buff laced Polish hen, insisted on helping to string the lights.

She climbed right in and tangled the wires, darn it.

I told her she was getting too many yellow lights in one spot...she got pretty exasperated with me for interfering with her project.

Sugar is quite, quite happy with us for bringing an entire tree into the house just for her.
