An Ode to Petunia

In June we said farewell to our rooster, Petunia, a uniquely wonderful representative of roosterdom. He was the last surviving chicken from the bunch Rundy and I hatched the summer we were married.

The end of an era. 

And the boys' very first burial. 

When Rundy replaced the sod over the filled-in hole that held Petunia's body, Tadhg questioned what he was doing.

"I'm putting it back on top so the grass will grow back."

"Will Petunia grow back, too?"
