Their farm was on the fringe of a prairie expanse they had yet to plant. It would have been a shame to start anything this fall when they first arrived. They did a strip of field corn for the chickens mostly, and that spot did pretty well. The prairie was near the peaks of the Rocky Mountain range and it warmed their hearts to see the ruby orb linger over them at sunset. There was no need to rush at this time of year and they had faith they would survive the winter on the goods they already stored. The roosting chickens however, did not all survive because the small family ‘s favorite dish was chicken, and thought it couldn’t be beat!
