Let me just preface this post by saying that chickens are hard to photograph! Period.
This is Mother Plumtree. She is another Buff Orpington. I have two. Looks just like Mrs. Puffington, no? Well, almost. When you see them next to each other, Mother Plumtree is much lighter.
Another gentle bird. Mother Plumtree lives in the shadow of Mrs. Puffington. She knits as well, but drops a lot of stitches and gets frustrated easily. She can embroider beautifully. She's a bit shy.
Her turn on's: Tomato worms, the shady spot under the daylilies and cantaloupe rinds.
Her turn off's: Loud noises, the neighbor's dog and people that knit well.
I'll give you a break tomorrow with the birds and talk about something completely different!
I have six more hens to go.................
HEY! NO BREAK! I'M LOVING THE CHICKEN TALK! HA!
ReplyDeleteI like these chicken stories too! They remind em of Beatrix Potter ;-)
ReplyDeleteAwww...she's a sweetheart too!
ReplyDeleteJayme, I love your chicken stories. Hopefully I'll stop by some day before winter and see them in person.
ReplyDeleteHow's the cow hunting doing? Think about the cold winter nights if you haven't already. I'd have to bring them all in the house at night. :) I can vision them all in your kitchen while you sleep.
This is your blog, write whatever you want, it's very relaxing to me to step into your little world everyday.
Carol...hello again! TZel...thanks for commenting! I appreciate it so much. Jennifer, you are so faithful at commenting, I'm always so happy to see your name pop up here!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous...:-) I'll be having a pie making class in Sept. I hope you can come out for that, even though I know it's not your thing.
Thanks Jayme for the invite. I used to do home made pies from scratch with berries I picked myself plus apple and peach. I think I just burned out in my 30's. :) Now I'm just crispy!
