Zoom in on this dude’s face. He is kind of scary!

Becky is having a very odd molt. Just her shoulders and about 10% of her bouffant. She’s VERY angry about it though. No one can get near her without a strenuous telling off.

Two new 3d printers for Tangent Werks, the company I’m starting with my brother. These monsters will print 8ftx2ftx2ft or 4ftx4ftx2ft. Combined with our 3D scanning and CAD design we’re hoping to bring big things to custom car builders or anyone else that needs a big 3D print.
I guess the dogwood makes berries? I’ve never noticed these before!

Lunchbox peppers are my favorite for snacking. Very sweet, very few seeds and patient! I had yellow last year but found red and orange this year. Feels like $5 per pint? I just eat them but I like to feel like it is a good value.

Violet, lap for scale. Vi is a big girl. As we’ve previously discussed, she hid her #DarkBrahma identity from me for years! Now that we are all in the loop we can celebrate her stature fully. Look at those hips!

I’ve got some serious moulting in the flock! Bryce and Glo are on the far side of it. Becky and Gretchen are deep in it. I think Wilga and Ruth are just missing feathers from hanging out with their feather plucking sisters. Everyone is looking a little rough.

A very muddy volunteer. I don’t think it is going to work out but I’ll let it try!

Mid-September and the peppers are thriving!

Fine or silly? I pick up the pine cones in the front yard because it think it looks tidier. It’s a pine forest. I am tidying the forest.

Most of my girls are busy! They will dig, forage, explore and generally cause havoc the entire time they are out free ranging. But not Becky. She has about 90 minutes in her and then she needs a nap. I guess when you look this good beauty rest is a top priority.

This is Weed & Feed! I pulled all the clover from a flower bed and brought it back for the velociraptors to enjoy. It tastes best when I hold it.

This is an approved dust bathing area. Why do they look so guilty? When they are tearing up the garden they look pleased as punch. But doing the right thing clearly makes them uncomfortable.

If I didn’t know what was happening here, I would be terrified that I had an OCD bug laying eggs on every leaf!

Friends or enemies? I was pulling weeds and noticed these two eating the ends off of some fresh fern fronds. Reasonable, if we get something attractive/beneficial later. A squishable offense if they are just bad to the core.

Once again, trying to eat dinner while watching the chickens. Instead, being watched by the chickens while eating dinner! Tomatoes by me, basil by @shadygrovefarmstead and happy goat cheese by @cattywampus.acres47. Eat local folks! Farmers market Tuesdays at 6:30 at @slowpourbrewing in downtown Lawrenceville, GA.

I looked it up. The #pinktomatoes are #GermanQueen from @bonnieplants. I’m not sure what it says about Teutonic royalty that these are super ugly…but really tasty!

The uglier, the tastier! It’s been a terrible year for my tomatoes but I’ll keep trying. This is some sort of pink tomato that is just now ripening. I think it’s been in the ground for months!
