Saving the Rainbow

The blossoms of Summer have have faded,

and taking a few moments to collect the dead heads can be quite rewarding!

As Summer came to a close, I collected the blossoms and left them to dry in the greenhouse in a paper sack. 

After pulling the seeds from the dried heads am left with 4 gallon size bags filled with a beautiful confetti of dried petals and seeds. They are almost to beautiful to hide away...I may need to find a couple gallon size jars to display and enjoy.

I will be looking forward to planting a Rainbow next Spring!

Little Tote

I love my little tool box...

I received this perfect gift from my youngest son, who made the handy tote in Wood Shop. 

Couldn't be anymore perfect to hold all my small gardening tools. 

No poop in the coop....

 For now anyway....





Today was housekeeping in the Hen Hotel.

• New bedding has been added
• Fresh Tub of  wood ash and diatomaceous earth added
• A bowl full of ground oyster shells.
• and a new flock block  to give the girls something to due now that the days are shorter
