Shame tiny dinosaurs, shame. One tiny egg per day is not paying the rent. Disgraceful. Who gave you the impression that you are just decorative pets rather than farm animals? Me? Oh. Very true. Have some additional treats. Love you!

This is my compost pile. It is mostly kitchen scraps, some garden debris, a little chicken bedding and some yard waste to mix it up. Today it is full. I am always impressed by how quickly it breaks down. So, now we wait. I'll let you know when I see a big change. 
Fyi, this is just a bit of fencing bent into a circle. When I want to "stir" the compost I just pick up the wire, set it down next to the pile and then put it all back in. Very advanced stuff. Once it's mostly broken down it goes into the garden. I have a larger pile for the rest of the chicken bedding that gets turned with the tractor.

Everyone can compost!

I planted this thing two years ago. It over wintered so I split it and replanted it. It is still growing and seems to have encouraged some onions to self-seed. It's called Raspberry something. No one eats it but it sure is pretty.

Sonia is working on his mohawk. As a tiny silkie rooster with a girly name, every bit of toughness is important. He did not appreciate my help in removing feather casings. Or the snuggles I offered. Or anything to do with me. Roosters.
