No Phone - I Blame the Chickens

Without A Phone

Maybe you noticed that we didn’t post on Instagram for a couple of days. NO phone!!!

That is why we were absent from social media.

Why do I post a chicken picture with a no phone post?

Good question! Because it is their fault!!!

Kind of. As you know, I am in love, love, love with podcasts. So, while I was out pulling weeds and cutting greens for the chickens, I had my phone by my side. In a small pouch.

And that pouch does not repel dirt. For all I know, it actually attracts it.

So, I am bringing loads of loads of greens to the girls and boys, followed every step of the way by Boya (you see her being busy in the background) while my phone does all the things it is supposed to do: Play my podcasts, take pictures, remind me with an alarm that it is time for something else - I don’t need to tell you. You all have phones!!

Then - it died and I went into the house to charge it.

Nothing.

I tried a different charger.

Nothing.

I tried the third charger and a different outlet.

Still. Nothing.

I cried.

Not really. But, I realized how much of my life has my phone as a companion. Btw. phone calls are not part of it. Maybe 2 a week :)

Long story made short. I just came back from the geek squad and they fished a big seed out of the charge port.

No wonder the charger couldn’t connect!!

So, you see. If those chickens weren’t demanding weeds and greens and seeds and all that good stuff all the time, I could keep my phone on a clean desk and seeds could never enter the inner life of the phone.

Makes sense, right?

Tell me your story of life without a phone. And while you are at it - what podcasts are you listening to?

FYI - I posted this on my other social media accounts before.
