Another Journey into the Past
I have decided to try and save any journeys into the way-back machine for Saturdays here in the states. They take a while to pull together and I think they might make for nice reading when we all have a little more time.
Because of this, the dates might not be exactly in alignment but I do not believe anyone will mind.
Settle in, grab some coffee, or tea, this is a long one!
With that in mind, Mr. Peabody, set the way-back for September 19, 2014 and the Great Tomato Raid of 2014!
Now the rule at Fluffy Butt Acres is if you can reach it, you can have it. In general this enables the flock to grab a tomato or two. For whatever reason, on this day Elphie and Trisha decided that tomatoes would be their sole focus and the went after them with a vengeance. I was not yet into chicken photography but this was something I had to record.
That day, no tomato was safe.
Mr. Peabody let's bounce ahead to September 23, 2018, someone was raiding the garden then as well.
In September of 2018 I was working to integrate Hattie and Jabberwocky with the rest of the flock. Hattie and Lilly of all hens went into the open garden together.
Of course Jabberwocky was worth her as well.
Look at the two of them, so cute.
Look at his green legs.
Can you believe I still though he was a pullet at this time?
Self-delusion is a powerful thing.
Patsy and Lilly wanted nothing to do with the newcomers most of the time.
Check out how small the brush pile used to be!
Let's go further back now. Mr. Peabody let's set the way-back to September 22, 2016 and check in on the greatest hen ever.
From the pictures I have it looks like all Daisy, the greatest hen ever, did on this day was eat leftovers! We must have cleaned out the fridge. Check it out.
She started with a nutritious breakfast of donuts. Patsy might have been more excited by them.
Then she had a delicious dinner of one of her favorites, PASTA!
Somewhere in between all this eating, I caught Lilly coming out of the coop having laid her egg.
It's always fun to drop in on the Big 3. Let's finish up with something more recent. Mr Peabody, set the way-back machine for September 24, 2019.
Here we get to visit some newer friends. I must start with my bestie, Maleficent.
She was so quick sometimes she ruined a perfect photo.
I did not realize it at the time, but she was giving off signals that hatching was on her mind.
How about her sister looking so regal on the footstool.
I was replacing worn out deck boards that day and everyone wanted to help!
Interesting, that looks like Hattie was getting ready to start her molt. She also enjoyed some early fall sun.
And climbing brush with friends.
Finally, even Mr. Bunny stopped by for chat!
I hope you all have enjoyed the latest installment of the way- back machine. Mr. Peabody please take us home.
