Very nice! Just in time for the cold blast we're expecting too! Nice & chunky. I bet it will be lovely & warm.

Yes it is! I've tried it on already

I'm convinced my chickens are experts @ playing mind games. It is perfectly possible for my flighty girls to hop the run fence without my seeing them & they could have a whale of a time before I noticed ~ only they never do. They get out & next thing there's a head bopping up & down in my direct line of vision. I grab my trusty fishing rod [which is used as a walking stick to stabilise me on the hill & herd naughty chickens] & set off to round 'em up. They waddle ahead of me just fast enough to stay out of reach, occasionally checking to make sure I am following. We go round the perimeter once or twice then they hop up on the fence & back into the run. The man thinks it's hilarious. Occasionally one of the Campines totally loses her head & does a flight circuit of the property while screaming blue murder ~ goodness knows what the neighbours think! Having treated me as the chicken version of Jack the Ripper they all line up to eat out of my hand @ feed time. Apparently it is a privilege they will squabble for. I'm convinced I have my own personal lunatic asylum.

Oh please get your husband to film you rounding up the chickens. I'm sure that they are just making sure that you get your cardio workout Ribh

That is beautiful! I think summer killed our maples.

They do better in temperate climates I think. We certainly get better colours after a cold snap.

Ohh, that's rather nice.

Thank you, I will tell them. They will be rather pleased with the positive feedback they are getting.

They say it took them about an hour using a YouTube tutorial.

They were all supposed to survive a Qld summer but last year was so hot they didn't make it.

I'm quite sure they're messing with me. They don't even hurry any more. They know perfectly well I'm unsteady on the hill & have to take it carefully! So they saunter along as if out for a Sunday stroll & casually hop back over the fence when they've a mind to!

I like a bit of indie folk or rock while I'm cooking to give it a fun feeling And classical music turned down low while I'm working.

Edit: damn, I thought I pressed 'reply'

I like most kinds of music. I can't listen to classical music on the stereo; there is just too much missing. I much prefer to see and hear it live.
