Flowers make everything better!

Chas · April 24, 2013 ·

It’s true, right?
 Flowers do make everything better!
I mean look at these happy chickens.
They are saying, “Moma! You and the girls have made us deliriously giddy!  Look how cheery those marigolds make our home look!” 
I knew it.
I am a chicken whisperer…

Domino seems to particularly love the flowers. She hung around the whole time the line was being planted. Happily clucking and scratching. It could have been that she was hoping we might toss her a juicy worm or a cricket, but I am sticking with my story. She was utterly thrilled with the beautification of the chicken coop.

See, here she is again… She’s totally loving it! She brought a few friends with her this time… they are easing up. Henrietta, Red, Papa New Guinea, Henrietta 2, Henrietta 3… Obviously, some are without original names. LOL.

A little work can go a long way. We cleaned up the food bins, mowed around the sides and hopefully will clean out the inside again soon. That is another days work…
                believe.
                        you.
                           me!
   Sheesh!!!

Oh and because my girls are adorable and wanted a little variation… they planted a couple of Sweet Williams on the other side of the door.

Now… if I can just remind my boys to NOT weed-eat them down like they did my foxgloves today.
GASP… that still stings.
IF I can teach them that, maybe I can teach them anything!

Have a great day, friends!
xoxo
