So exciting! Our bananas are almost ready:
We accidentally left the chicken coop door open all night. The mister thought I had shut it; I thought he had. The hens tucked themselves away in the hen house, and luckily no critter came along to eat them during the night.
When dawn came, I saw the hens milling around the yard, so I came out with a handful of lettuce to lure them back into the coop. They followed me right in, but our boss hen, Big Joan Jett, decided I wasn’t distributing the grub quickly enough and flew up at the lettuce.
That startled me, making me jump back and drop the lettuce. That startled the hens, who scattered, some outside the open door. So I had to go back inside for MORE lettuce to re-lure the hens. I can see already it’s going to be one of those days.
Open thread.
