It's such a beautiful day today that I had to let the chicks out to enjoy it. I hate keeping them cooped (!) up, but when I'm not home most of the day, and when I know I'll have the new dog outside, I tend to let them just roam their run and coop. But today is gorgeous, and they are enjoying the freedom.
They are hanging out under the lilac bush -- in these pics you can see Penelope (top), our Buckeye chicken; Olive and Ivy (middle), our two Speckled Sussex; Clementine (bottom), our Buff Orpington; and in the bottom picture on the right, just out of the frame is Mabel, our Silver-Laced Wyandotte. They are happily dust bathing, napping, scratching for bugs, cooing and chirruping, and staying warm in the sun.
And now, just a few more...
I was happy to notice this week that our Mexican sunflowers have finally decided to bloom. What a wonderful burst of colour for the fall!
A few days later, and we have a few more blossoms and more getting ready to pop. What beauties!
Enjoy these opening days of October. They have already been amazing!
