Poultry Feed Bags

How excited I was to accquire this brown paper chicken feed bag! We discovered a little business set up in an old Stae Bank building in the little old town of Weston, Texas. Here the proprietor sells fresh eggs, local honey, and driveway beepers! He has a big rustic chicken (similar to my front yard rooster) outside his shop which attracted my attention as we drove down the main street. He has some old poultry-related items like egg scales to decorate his place--sorry, he says, they're not for sale. But he did have some chicken feed bags hanging around, one on his front screen door, which I offered to purchase from him. Lo and behold, he was happy to give me one, so I came home delighted with my treasure, as well as some delicious honey!

I noticed that the feed was from the Martindale Feed Mill (a subdivision of Alan Ritchie Inc.) in Valley View, Texas. Our son Wes is familiar with them, as he once pastored the Methodist church there in Valley View. What a small, wonderful world!
