Butterfly weed on the fly
I have pods on my butterfly weed... just like milkweed pods. Today was a breezy, beautiful day. I thought of photographing these little seeds and had to wait for the wind to blow them the right way.
Today was chicken wrangling day. We moved them from their summer coop to the winter one. We had a nice fence chute all set up so when I opened their gate they would just walk, with some help of treats, to the garden where they would be fenced in and where the winter coop is. Then Dan came in this morning just before I was going out and said Honey is out of the coop out in the yard... Well, what??? She must have flown out of the coop over the electric wire on the top... Of course, the one day I wanted to move them. Four chickens went where they were supposed to. Then I tried to herd Honey and Chewy into the garden and they slipped by me out into the yard. And yes, I can throw a tantrum and yell at the @#$%&^ chickens... I just wanted to be done and have my coffee... Once I stopped trying to chase them they came to the treats and I got them in... Yes, there is a lesson in this but I'm not sure I learned it.
Anyway, they had a good day in the garden and finally went into their "new" coop. Whew!!!!
