Home Again

Awaiting my return, my husband, the garden and the critters.  After picking produce, primarily green beans but also a beautiful cabbage, a few carrots and cherry tomatoes and funny looking cauliflower, I spent the night freezing the beans and watching, sort of anyway, a netflix movie.

 My young layers, normally quite shy, approached with quite a bit of interest as I sat in the grass to get a photo of them.  They are one of my favorite breeds, Silver Laced Wyandottes, the original Wyandotte.  It's an American breed with a close-fitting rose comb which doesn't seem to mind the cold winters.

 Phantom, the gray Welsh Pony, and Zan, the bay Quarter Horse, always greet me with expectations of food and, or, bug dope.

The four and a half week old "meat birds" are happily settled in their chicken tractor.  Having only a dozen this year will make butchering day a bit easier.

Dave thinks we have many years worth of beans frozen already.  I'm just thrilled to be caught up!
