Eddy and one of his hens

Eddy is tame, he lets me still pet him. I hand raised him and nursed him through a green stick leg fracture and lose neck. The hen is a Splash Marans laying dark brown eggs.

Maybe this year a taste

The Dragon Fruit cactus is getting ready to bloom. I am looking forward to the beauty and fragrance of the 8" white bloom. And maybe this year I will be lucky to get my first fruit.

Flowering Mustard

I can look at these flowers all day long and watch the bees going from flower to flower. I look at weeds as not named herbs, they all have a purpose.
I enjoy the clear yellow each spring, it shows up so nicely next to the large boulders.

Meet Whitie, my white leghorn

Every morning, she flies over the fence of the chicken area and greets me, being the first to fly up the bowl of feed I am carrying in my arm, getting the first pick, while I am walking to the fenced chicken area. There they all are getting me. I am appreciative, that I am able to feed non GMO chicken feed and distilled water.
