Shalayla on nest in garage. That patch of baldness on her back? The badge of being overly-loved by a rooster. We always hurt the ones we love.

Virgin of Guadalupe tablecloth, drying on the line. (Thanks Liz Sparks!)
Goodness. I just realized how nice people are to me. Okay. I realize that all the time.
Daily image of ones lives...I can smell the linen on the line with a sweet breeze blowing it dry...
ReplyDeleteI like how the hens are taking turns with the melon..so good for them!
I am glad to see the photos. Nice to be loved.
ReplyDeleteCrap, I love it over here. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteI love the tablecloth. It is tres cool.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the top photo was a Luna moth resting. LOVE
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tablecloth! Miss Dolly is a lovely gold colour. I can tell your chickens apart now!
ReplyDeleteThe gourd seed looks like a butterfly xx
I don't even know why you keep that rooster around, if all he's good for is screwing your chickens and they lay eggs whether they've been screwed or not...
ReplyDeleteEllen- they pecked that sucker to the rind.
ReplyDeleteSyd- I know! And you are.
Nicol- Wish you could visit for real.
Ms. Bastard-Beloved- When you come we'll use it. I promise.
x-ray Iris- Isn't it pretty?
Christina- That's so funny! You're a peach.
Lucy- You are so wrong about Elvis. He does a lot. He protects those girls and watches out for hawks and other predators. He finds food for them and feeds them. Plus- he is beautiful and gentle to humans and we love him. Why would we kill him?
Aw, gourd seedling, one of my favorite sights. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your pics.
I miss you lately.
I can't keep up with myself.
But how wonderful to come here tonight and scroll down and see my name and the gourd blooming!
Made my night.
Bethany- I spent last evening working on a silly thing for you. One of these days...
ReplyDeleteyou will get mail.
I love my gourds and cukes.
