Yeah, I would definitely make a point to be up early with my coffee for that view!!! Went out to take care of the animals this morn and it was beautiful, sunny (but cold) came in looked out again a few minutes later and the fog has rolled in lol, I cant even see the shop from my back door right now!This is the view my chickens get from their coop ... I took this photo a few days ago just before the sun broke the horizon. I love how the valley between us and the next ridge is filled with fog. It makes it look like you could walk all the way to Mt. Hood before breakfast.
They say our property is ideal for wine grapes with really good exposure to the sun (we are surrounded by vineyards, though the altitude is a bit of a challenge). I think this exposure makes this a great place for chickens.I think the birds get a little bit more sunshine up here than they would get if they were in a coop down in the valley, so I think that helps them want to lay more eggs. They say early morning sunshine is the best sunshine for absorbing Vitamin D -- and Vitamin D is very important for fertility and hatch rates of the eggs.
A beautiful sunrise makes having my morning coffee with the chickens good for me, too.Though something about that lone chemtrail makes me dream of flying away on a different kind of adventure.
