MJ's little flock

@Aussie-Chookmum !! So good to see your posts how are you going? All good?

A friend sent me this card. I thought @MaryJanet in particular would appreciate it.

I'd love to see it if I may

One of my very favourite trees! I love how the petals carpet the streets up here.

Years and years ago I dreamt of myself as an old woman and that dream featured Jacaranda blossoms, so it feels a little like destiny to have unintentionally grown one from a seed.

So, nothing from the 80s then?

Oh my, maybe even older

It's another windy, chilly morning and the hens have wisely filled their bellies and snuggled up again.

Is it a picture of the Emperor’s new clothes?

Ooops.

Trying again.

I can't see a card.

Yes. My stupidity has already been pointed out to me.
Have posted it now.

 

[MaryJanet]

Ooops.

Trying again.

Yeh, I love it!

I wish foxes were as chicken-friendly in real life.

Hi MJ. Thanks for asking. I'm just having trouble getting motivated lately.
I can just about manage yours and Ribh's threads but BYBob's thread has completely defeated me. Luckily I can get a BYBob fix and a Royal Chick fix on both your threads as well as keeping up with my Aussie chook friends.

My girls' favourite dust bathing spot is now under the "new" garden table in their run. They still prefer to shelter from the rain under the outside table or in the garden shed though. At least they aren't afraid of it anymore!

Edwina is in the nesting box being broody.

Mr Bee is in this last one. Can you see him in there?

And the Jacaranda is not a baby any more. It's first ever blossoms are getting ready.

Your Hollyhocks have inspired me to share some of my flowers.

White foxgloves. The cerise ones behind them are passed their best.

Purple rhododendron

I must have planted this Lobelia in the right place. I love this shade of blue.
