The Thanksgiving Camellia is prettier than ever! Look at those giant blooms!

Do you see that look in her eye? The look that says “I will go where I want, do as I please and there is nothing you can do about it.” Glo has been escaping from the yard and laughing at me as I try to herd her to safety! When I give up she saunters back into the chicken area like I’m the jerk. She’s the jerk! She is! Look at that evil gleam in her eye.

And to think Glo was once a #splayleg chick that couldn’t walk! Look at this powerful hen struting her stuff! (She did break out of the pen and force me to chase her around the yard before posing for this photo. She is a stealth ninja.)

This bug was unnecessarily large. Like triple. Oh, and then it flew away. That’s two strikes: big and flies. Lucky for him he was outside or he would have gotten the deadly third strike.

It’s my birthday and I’ll weld precariously if I want to.

Mealworms and side eye are both things for which I am thankful. A feast for Big Red is so easy to prepare! Happy Thanksgiving!

No Sonia! Stop it with your giant comb and wattles. Stop it with your tiny crowing and slightly protective behavior. Just stop! No roos allowed! You must act like a hen!

Bryce wants to be my friend but she DOES NOT WANT me to touch her. I really want to pet her Brontasaurus neck. It’s soooo long!
Yesterday she snuck up behind me and pecked at my hood. When I turned around to see who it was I spooked her. She jumped about a foot in the air and then sprinted away. Goof.

Yes, you have been caught. You have escaped from the chicken side of the fence and are clearly on the garden side. However, since I was planning to feed those greens to you anyway, you may remain. Enjoy!

Oh no! Do you hear it? Right at the end? That’s the sound of Sonia attempting to crow. No Sonia. No! This is a rooster free coop. Please stop.

Donna, Violet and Big Red are three of my four original chickens. Here they are, not mingling with the babies, talking shit and generally being mean girls. I love them so!

I always think this #weedflower is a tomatillo until it starts to flower. They have very similar leaves and stems. Nice camo weed. You got me again!

First picture: The first 5 sweet potatoes I harvested. Success! Take that you garden rats! (I mean deer.)
Second picture: An hour later, getting dark, estimated at more than 60 pounds of potatoes! Victory!

This chicken just did a cannonball into the leaf pile! Fresh leaf piles are on on their #TopTen favorite activities. Number one on the list? Destroying piles!

Did you babies lay these eggs? They were in Donna’s favorite box but they seem pointier than her eggs. If you all learned from Donna to lay your eggs in the same box I am going to be very impressed. She is an evil genius, beyond my imaginings.

30 seconds of some velociraptors decimating an apple. Please watch until 20 seconds when Glo appears in the back. (I am holding the apple so that Becky has a non-moving target. Also, Bryce has the beak of a much more predatory bird. She hurts!)

Some bright flowers on a dreary day. My mom says the deer have been snacking on these but I think they’ve held up well.

Fun story! We have lots of bats on our property. They live in the woods and in the garage vent. Normally we just see them fly out at night.
One morning I saw this bat chilling on a fountain in the front yard. He was very small, maybe the length of one finger. I thought maybe he just couldn’t find the garage vent before it got light.
A few hours later, after getting closer and closer, I noticed that he had a tick on his elbow! Case you see it? On the right side of the picture?
So, now I had to remove a tiny tick from a tiny bat. I recruited help, some extra long tweezers and we performed the tick removal!
At dusk he flew away and rejoined the group! I am convinced he landed low so I could find him and remove the tick. So smart!

This #Camellia always blooms just in time for Thanksgiving! It is nearly 15 feet tall, requires zero maintenance and is evergreen. That’s my kind of flower!

You absolutely wish you could rock the wet look like Kahlo. She slays.

Hey Bryce! Have you figured out how to eat the lettuce yet? I see you have a little on your beak.
Anyone know what kind of chicken Bryce is?

My chicken food garden is doing really well this year. This cabbage thing just developed a white center. It looks really pretty with the purple kale thing.

Of course we are all forced to drink out of this mud puddle. The fresh water in the containers you provide is literally TOO FAR away. (The waterer is visible in the background of this photo. Monsters.)

Please help me name this baby! She is a #SicilianButtercup. She is very inquisitive but a little shy. She is both a chaser and chasee. I am partial to historical, punny, and long names. Not Goldie – too easy. Let’s go!
