Video: The Mistress Of "Noah's Ark" - A Story About A "chicken Farm"

Once the Russian tsar and the Swedish king argued over which of them would get the Ingermanland lands. As you know, because of this dispute, the Northern War happened, which Tsar Peter won. Any schoolchild knows that it was very important for Russia "to cut a window to Europe" in order to "stand firm by the sea"! But why did Karl need to get involved in a fight? In general, the Vikings and I have maintained friendly, business and even family relations for many centuries.
The opinion of historians on this matter is known, but the Ingermanland tribes have preserved the legends that in our area there are such holy places where unusual springs flow, with the help of which one can directly communicate with God. Therefore, the peoples inhabiting our ancient Yamburg land have discovered a great secret: why a person lives on earth. So the monarchs longed to find out this secret. They say that Catherine the Great herself went to our spring with a procession of the cross. Just listen to how poetic the names of the indigenous peoples sound: Mokshans, Vepsians, Chud, Vodane, Izhora.
Maybe our natives are right, and "Russian Shambhala" is located somewhere in the North-Western forests? They say that in the entire history of mankind, God appeared to only two mortals, maybe it was not by chance that one of them was our saint Alexander Svirsky, if I am not mistaken, Veps by origin? Once, sitting at such a holy spring, I complained that for almost 20 years I have been representing the Kingisepp District on my own in the Russian Society of Poultry Lovers in St. Petersburg. Is it possible that during the years of Soviet power everything was destroyed, and in places that were once famous for exemplary estates, rich farms and excellent breeding farms, only miserable former state farms with drunken workers remained? And how I would like our Ingermanland regions to be no different from the "German" ones. And if we don't have the same wealth as the Germans,so let there be at least more hardworking villagers, as Tsar Peter dreamed. Let there be more yards where livestock and birds are beautiful and different!
Apparently, they heard me THERE … Soon I had a chance to meet an amazing person from the village of Tikopis. Her name is Galina Nikolaevna Shlemen. She has a big friendly family, a beautiful house and a very interesting farm. Who is not there. You will not surprise me with rare beautiful breeds of chickens, but it is always pleasant to meet a person who is keen on breeding a bird. In addition to chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, peacocks, pheasants, guinea fowls, and quails live in the poultry yard. The house stork Gosha walks around the site importantly. Gosha has a friend, Glasha. A real falcon sits on the block. Besides him, there is another predator - the sparrowhawk Lyonka. Together with the chickens, the jackdaw Verka sleeps on the roost, which Galina Nikolaevna's granddaughter, Nastya, picked up and saved from inevitable death with a yellow chick. And what amazing rabbits! Huge rams, no, I don't mean sheep,namely, rabbits, as the breed is called, and tiny adorable dwarf "bunnies" with small ears. Several cats and a German shepherd dog Baikal are on duty at the farm.
And Galina Nikolaevna is also engaged in beekeeping and treats all guests with her amazingly fragrant honey in combs. In general, she is a very kind and sincere person, she formulates her life principle as follows: you need to give people more than you take from them, and you will be more than rewarded for this. How does this not fit into the current system of values! And I, perhaps, would make this principle a national idea. Money at any cost, you see, is somehow too small for a great nation. Yes, and I have seen many rich, but happy ones … And Galina Nikolaevna shines all over when she talks about her pets, especially about storks. Gosha happened to be with the Shlemens the summer before last. Then fires raged in the forests, the stork was burned and exhausted, but got out onto the railway and limped to the border guards, where he was almost torn apart by dogs. The military fed the bird with bread,but they did not have time to deal with her problems. Fortunately, Galina Nikolaevna found out about the fire victim and, despite the extreme workload in her household, went after the stork. For a month she washed the bird from fuel oil and parasites, force-fed, because due to a burn of the esophagus, the stork refused to eat. The feathers just fell off him. But slowly things got better. In the fall, when the bird caravans pulled towards the south, Gosha kept lifting his head and looking at the sky, but he was too weak to fly away.when the bird caravans pulled south, Gosha kept lifting his head and looking at the sky, but he was too weak to fly away.when the bird caravans pulled south, Gosha kept lifting his head and looking at the sky, but he was too weak to fly away.
By the spring, the stork had completely recovered and even began to build a nest, folding twigs on an inverted barrel. The question of the bride arose sharply. Gosha had an affair with a duck, but the drake was against it. And then friends called Galina Nikolaevna and told that in one of the villages a stork fell out of its nest and broke its leg. The chick, fortunately, turned out to be a girl who also had to be nursed for a long time. As a result, one leg of Glasha is shorter than the other, but Gaucher still likes it. Glasha cannot fly, she got fat on the master's pancakes. "Her chest is larger than that of a turkey" - jokes Galina Nikolaevna. Storks go to the pond for crucian carp, and at the same time they caught all the moles on the site, the bird's beak is long, it will climb into any hole, and Gosha also hunts frogs, mice and snails. So there is a benefit from him in the economy. What can not be said about the falcon,whom the former owners kicked out of the house for a bad character. The predator bit and tore with its claws. He did not take root in the zoo, where he was assigned. Only Galina Nikolaevna managed to find an approach to the "beast", now he does not behave so aggressively, sits on the glove and even began to carry out commands.
And the two-year-old hawk Lyonka was brought from the Pulkovo Observatory with a broken wing, now he cannot hunt mice himself. Galina Nikolaevna constantly fiddles with various wounded animals, I know from my own experience that it is useless to contact veterinarians with them. You will watch on TV, you will envy how they treat any living creatures there, "over the hill". Ours, at best, only know how to sterilize dogs and cats. Bismarck was right when he said that unprofessionalism would destroy Russia. And now there are a lot of wounded animals, all and sundry are firing from guns, especially during flights. They fire from cars right in the village. And what nonsense this is! You can't leave a desert behind. Seeing how crazed birds rush in the sky, not knowing rest even at night, I go to burn old bales of straw behind which drunken hunters are hiding. I usually ask: "Are you hungry? "The answer is, no, they say, gamblers. But both the bird and the person are equally sick with pain. This is not a computer game. Since no one in our country knows how to shoot or treat properly, I am afraid, we won't have to sit idle.
And Galina Nikolaevna told me that she had a chance to keep goats, sheep, pigs and even horses. In fact, she has two higher educations, but we all had a chance to go through the period of perestroika and often had to do something different from what we were taught. I never cease to be amazed at Russian women who will not only survive any cataclysm themselves, but will stretch their family and the whole country. Of course, it is difficult to love the Motherland in dirty urban conditions; perhaps, it is impossible to equip the whole of Russia. Just answer the question, who do you come to earth with: a temporary summer resident or a zealous owner with the hope of creating a family nest, where both children and grandchildren will be happy to come. Start equipping the country on your hundred square meters. Landscaping is great, of course, but it shouldn't interfere with life. I often observe how children languish with idleness amid such beauty. They want to take care of someone. Don't be surprised if they don't want to take care of their parents later. Buy a chicken or a rabbit for your child and explain that you cannot come to the earth as an invader, animals also have the right to survive next to us. And the law discovered by Galina Nikolaevna works. Honestly, I was convinced from my own experience. Try it too, dear readers. And come to the holy springs of the Yamburg land, maybe you will discover the truths that you did not even suspect before.dear readers.
