Hi sweet extended flock members, You have probably noticed we’ve been strangely absent from your inbox and social feeds lately. Our very own Tall Tree is not well. So our little flock has circled the wagons and we are doing our best to be present for him and for each other as events unfold. PrayersContinueContinue reading “From Our Flock: Breathing Room”

Pearl the Cockatiel: Orange You Hungry
There is no doubt that, in the greater wild world of eat or be eaten, size matters. (To be honest, it also doesn’t hurt to have fangs.) But just because you didn’t pop out pre-equipped with a ready set of full body armor doesn’t mean you can’t be fierce. VERY fierce. In fact, being smallContinueContinue reading “Pearl the Cockatiel: Orange You Hungry”
Pearl the Cockatiel: Work Life Balance
Some mornings you open your (adorable, round, black) eyes and stretch your wings and look forward to a whole day of resting and relaxing. And some mornings you wake up and there is work to be done. Lots of work. Luckily, being covered in feathers automatically makes you an expert on “work.” You can workContinueContinue reading “Pearl the Cockatiel: Work Life Balance”
Pearl the Cockatiel: No More Early Bird
Being covered in feathers automatically makes you very cute. Being very cute makes you very popular. And being very popular can mean it gets harder to carve out enough you-time. Especially in the mornings. And especially when your large featherless alarm clock associates having feathers with getting up early. As if. After all, she hasn’tContinueContinue reading “Pearl the Cockatiel: No More Early Bird”
Happy Chef Grandma Day!
When you are small and short and covered in downy feathers, soft fur or an adorable curved shell, you get used to be waited on. Paparazzi are always lurking with small rectangular flashing devices, tasty treats and lavish praise. It could get all too easy to get used to all the pampering and spoiling andContinueContinue reading “Happy Chef Grandma Day!”
Pearl the Cockatiel: the Potato Pouncer
Potatoes are large. They are round. They favor earth tones. Suffice it to say, a potato can be a fearsome predator. That is, unless you know how to quickly dispatch one. (Here, it helps to have a large featherless chef who can, ahem, pre-cut each predator down to size. Preferably bite-size.) Even so, size isn’tContinueContinue reading “Pearl the Cockatiel: the Potato Pouncer”
Pearl the Cute Cockatiel: Lap Supervisor
Supervision is an art. Most beings think they are great supervisors. Few beings are actually great supervisors. One big problem here is that the best supervisors have feathers….and most supervisors can’t grow any feathers of their own. Which handily explains the ongoing trend towards plunging employee morale. Luckily, there is an equally handy workaround. WeContinueContinue reading “Pearl the Cute Cockatiel: Lap Supervisor”
Pearl the Cockatiel: Happy Day Every Day
Happy days happen to all of us. So do less-happy days. And here is where being born covered in soft and fetching aerodynamic feathers really comes in handy! Because once you figure out what those two attractive and graceful appendages on either side of your adorable round body are there for, you can use them.ContinueContinue reading “Pearl the Cockatiel: Happy Day Every Day”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Silver Lining
Into every life a little rain must fall. This is to be expected. What is not quite so expected, however, is when the rain falls indoors. What is really not expected is when the indoor rain falls directly on top of you. Let’s say you are just minding your own indoor business, secure in theContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Silver Lining”
Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Stage Parront
From the perspective of the paparazzi, being born covered in soft fetching feathers means you’ve got it made. Welcome to a lifetime of adoration. The heavens will part. Waffle-flavored snacks will pour from the sky (or at least from your personal Small Chef’s kitchen). Beings without any feathers will clamor for your beak-o-graph. Ladybirds willContinueContinue reading “Cuteness for Comfort with Pearl: Stage Parront”
