The very last Hollyhock…..

We’ve had rain for three days but it looks like some little fellas are still at work.

My orchid just started to bloom again, so I have a flower inside!  Yeah!

Please bare with me as I play with this…..

Is that wild or what?  (Upside down.)

         fall 014 

Here’s what’s blooming in the Chicken Mansion…..huge eggs…Amelia is producing about two double yolk eggs a week!!!  My three girls produce three eggs a day…sure hope that keeps up.  I will be keeping the light on……for those!

    The flowers are beautiful! I am beginning to think I somehow purchased the non egg laying variety of chickens! I went to get feed last week from where I bought them, and asked them about it. They said that in their experience, most won't begin to lay until closer to 6 mo. They are now about 5 and 1 week. Sheesh. Plus, she said that due to the extreme heat, they tend to wait a bit too. So..I wait. But I am getting impatient!!!! Yea for your girls...and yea for eggs. I love those two yolkers!!!

    I am blown away by the orchid photos, you have an amazing eye for taking those, the center is outstanding.

    Double yoke eggs... She is talented. Ouch on the big ones.

    I cant wait to plant those seeds you sent and take some photos of my hollyhocks.

    Great photos, Karen!! Love looking deeply into the orchid....reminds me of a particular southwest artist whose name I have forgotten....due to the old timers disease!! HAH!

    Great to talk to you yesterday!! Wish you were closer....

    Karen, I am so amazed at your photography. Absolutely stunning. And I do wish my girls would produce double yolkers but with 6 to 8 eggs a day I really should'nt complain.
