Am I supposed to credit someone for &#8216;Wordless Wednesday?&#8217; I don&#8217;t want to get in trouble with the garden blog police!) But today, the temps were in the 60s and the hens were in the woods. (Doh!! Words!)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It was a sad week here at the homestead. It started when my most beloved three-year-old rooster, T. Boone Chickens, developed a serious abscess on his big chicken foot. I hauled him off to the veterinarian who anesthetized him and examined him more closely. According to the vet, because chickens don&#8217;t have significant blood circulation [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have mixed feelings about fall and the coming winter. I wander the garden and yard looking at the carpet of wet leaves. They would be a lot more beautiful if they would just voluntarily hop right into those bags for composting. They have nearly all fallen now except the two zelkovas, which stubbornly hold [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Chickens are very difficult models. I must have about 4,000 chicken photos. In 3,990 of them the chicken is facing the wrong way, running the wrong way or taking a poop. To photograph a chicken takes patience and Olympic-class squatting ability. You must get down&#8230;wayyyyy down&#8230;into a squat position and stay there for about four [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sorry to leave you hanging like that. It wasn&#8217;t intentional. Thank you for the cards and letters of concern. Previously in my life I was battling the wicked rooster, Ricky Ricardo, who had it in his tiny little chicken brain that he needed to murder Tina Turner for spurning his amorous advances. He had [...]]]></description>

Recently, the chicken drama here [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you were expecting a savory fall poultry recipe from reading this post title, you&#8217;ll be disappointed! You can&#8217;t eat these chickens because they&#8217;re pets. And you can&#8217;t eat this sage, because it&#8217;s ornamental. (Okay, the flowers of the stunning salvia elegans&#8212;pineapple sage&#8212;are edible.) As I was giving the chickens fresh water this morning they [...]]]></description>

Between my job (not inherited that castle in Spain yet), keeping us well fed, tending the garden, the animals and ensuring the house doesn&#8217;t fill with dog hair like an enormous house-shaped pillow&#8230;well, the days are full. But I know [...]]]></description>

They have the run of the place for at least a couple of hours most days. But when I open their outdoor run, the first [...]]]></description>
