Sometimes she perches there briefly, sometimes she stands there and preens but yesterday she just sat there. She remained fluffed up and just stayed there for quite a while.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_15603\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15603\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15603\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15603\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15603\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/an_odd_place_to_sit.jpg\" alt=\"An odd place to sit\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/an_odd_place_to_sit.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/an_odd_place_to_sit-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/an_odd_place_to_sit-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15603\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Butterscotch sits on the log<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_15610\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=15610\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-15610\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15610\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-15610\" src=\"http:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/butterscotch_sits_on_the_log-1.jpg\" alt=\"Butterscotch sits on the log\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/butterscotch_sits_on_the_log-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/butterscotch_sits_on_the_log-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carolschickens.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/butterscotch_sits_on_the_log-1-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-15610\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">An odd place to sit<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This is the latest place to be.
