rainy sundays turn to sunny

as you can see from my really crappy photo's the garden is slowly coming along. the chickens are out in the day pen (they have shade in there so it was hard to take their pictures-i lightened it on the computer, i hope you can see it) this is part of the flock. the old girls are starting to get on with the little ones, for the most part. henrietta is still a bit bitchy. i think she's got arthritis in her feet which i think that makes her a bit short tempered with the babies. the big news tonight is that the chocolate brown one (see her on the left?) crouched for the 'rooster' (that would be me!) so i picked her up and carried her in, i can't help but wonder how long it will be until the chickens figure out that if they let me pick them up, i will take them out? meanwhile they ate all the weeds that they could reach through the chain link, someone laid an egg in the hay in the back. so tomorrow i am going to put the little cover of the litter box with hay in it for them to lay in-
i hope that will make things easier on all of us
now today was rainy, but if the weather is really bad with rain.....that pen will not be able to be used. so the chickens will stay in for those days
they won't be happy about it i think
i don't know what to do to divert the heavy flooding out there
now bernie did litter boxes, and that was about it for today
i drew some, we sort of piddled the day away.
we did have lunch on the deck.  i repotted some more seedlings.....
all in all a lazy day no?
