Anne was here visiting for Lisa’s birthday. She came up from Anderson with Marianne and Ashley. They were picking up half of the baby chickens. Not too soon either. The little habitat was getting small for twelve.
Lisa opening gifts. This one was a wind chime from Kathy and Bill with a lapis lazuli clapper and wind catcher.
Marianne and Ashley with Gracie.
The Kentucky chicken catchers.
Charlie was interested in the chicken catching. He likes birds.
Barbara and Gracie were watching the proceedings.
Chickens caged for the trip back to South Carolina. Did they ever stop peeping? We expect to see a report on Anne’s blog.
Marianne and Ashley got some bunnies from Heather.
This picture has a story. I tilled up this little patch in the garden. The original intent for this spot was the onions. They didn’t work out so this seemed like a good place to plant the sweet potato that came to life in the kitchen. I made the little mound but we didn’t get around to planting it yet. This was about the time that Anne went on a cabbage moth killing spree. They are the moths that come from the cabbage worms that eat the collards. They are also, of course, the progenitors of the worms, so wanting to kill them is natural for anyone who likes collards. Anne likes collards. The white specks on the mound are the carefully placed carcasses of the dead moths. She got quite a few. Liking collards is normal, disliking destroyers of collards is normal. Posing the remains of a deadly rampage is normal, right?
You know, a funnier video would have been one of Anne and Lisa chasing the little chickens around, not just picking them out of the pen. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI did not realize that Anne was such a methodical killer.
Nice job Aunt Anne!!! LOL. Did the dogs go crazy with the bunnies in the house? WOWza, Linus and Lily will be spoiled!
ReplyDeleteChickies must be happy having more room, just wait, the remaining ones will grow like little weeds and soon outgrow their habitat again!
