Skills alert: The chickens perfectly hollowed out this #butternutsquash! Perhaps they have a career in pumpkin carving? Birdhouse gourds? Breadbowl soup? So talented!

Becky lost her Poof in a pecking order reshuffling. To minimize additional feather plucking I sprayed her with #bluekote. End result: the most punk rock chicken.

This week’s tool I didn’t realize I needed in my life. #safetythird

Weeding is so much more rewarding when you have chickens! They are so excited to see me coming with a pitchfork full of weeds. But terrified when I lift it over the fence. Never lift things!

#tbt One year ago was our last day at La Batterie Villa in Saint Lucia. One of the greatest #Airbnb houses we’ve rented. Anyone going to Saint Lucia should try to rent this place. Room for 3 or 4 couples, fully staffed, amazing views, right down the ‘road’ from #jademountainresort. We’ll definitely go back there again in a few years. #stlucia #labatterievilla #jademountain @labatterie.saintlucia

The white #rhodadedron is new this year but look at that fresh growth! It’s going to be huge!

Bryce and her buddy Gretchen have chosen to go broody together, in the same box. Can you see the psycho in her eye? Crazy broodies!

I hate that I have lettuce long before I have tomatoes, peppers, broccoli or anything else to make a salad. Then, by the time the toppings grow, it is too hot for lettuce! Poor timing Nature!

Trade! I get some Jumbo and mini eggs. You get some slightly past its prime lettuce. Good business for everyone!

Not only have we caught zero squirrels in our humane traps this year but we are actually growing additional squirrels! The rooster alerted me to three cute babies as they emerged from their nest. This is not progress. Poor nectarine tree. (There is a second squirrel in the gutter on the bottom left. The third was running.)

@benzblogger can’t park in the middle of the garage anymore because it’s officially hammer time! #hammerwagon #e63wagon

Mole Chicken status: 100. These little tunnelers are up to something.

Since the yard is now mostly sealed off from deer this #hosta has appeared and miraculously HAS LEAVES! This is a first! Most hostas here are immediately chewed to stubs. Victory!

The #dogwood trees are blooming! See the bat house in the pine tree above? No bats live there.

What are you doing chicken? How did you get in there? I heard digging but saw no chicken. I went to investigate and found this weirdo tunneling under a log. I have a mole-chicken!

Sunset dinner and drinks for Sonia and the girls. I try to provide the right ambiance in the coop. Wilga, the #salmonfaverolle, is Sonia’s best girl.

The fence flowers came back! I hear there are three colors of #clematis to look forward to this year.

#TamingOfTheRoo Saga: The One Where I Don’t Get Bitten! It takes a full handful of scratch but I can now get nearly a minute of Sonia holding per day. Also, Glo is a diva.

The first asparagus! We just planted the crowns a few weeks ago and this tiny little aspari-guy is already up! I don’t think you are supposed to harvest any the first year but I am excited to see it grow, grow, grow!

Does anyone know where to get a Cadbury Bunny? I’ll build them a very special hutch.
