Saturday encore ~ She never met a flower she didn't want to eat

This encore post is from August 2, 2016.

***

 My garden this year consists of four pots of geraniums and petunias 
and two pots of tomatoes. 

I occasionally treat the chickens to supervised visits in this area.
They seem to enjoy the change of scenery.



Look who isn't broody anymore! After nine weeks of self-imposed
imprisonment in the nesting box, Peach finally gave up on the idea of motherhood.



Geraniums are my favorite garden plants, if for no other reason than
they're relatively hard to kill. Also, I like their flamboyance
in this otherwise understated environment.



Mrs. Hughes photobombs the geraniums.



Me: Don't even think about it.



Mrs. Hughes: Think about what?



Lady Mary: You always have to spoil it for the rest of us.
Now we're going to lose our garden privileges.



Mrs. Hughes: Kiss my fluffy ass.



Lady Mary: See? I told you we'd get kicked out.

  2. Ditto Northern AB gal. Here, the geraniums are Winter time color. Loved that fluffy tail, Mrs. Hughes.

  5. Love the shot of Mrs. Hughes!! Having just started with my own mini flock of seven chickens I was enchanted to see 'hens' can have large combs. One of my favourites here, Goldie, is developing a large comb and I was fearful for her that it was the beginning of telltale rooster signs. Thank you for sharing your animal antics!
