Yesterday I gathered these from my "Strawberry Barrow" These aren't quite ripe yet.

It is pouring down rain here in Tucson, so I went and pulled the tarp over the run to help the chickens not get wet.. While there, I just for grins opened the egg box... and I had two eggs! My Black Australorps are the only ones with red combs and waddles so, I assume they are the ones that...

I am now able to have chickens again! But since Cherokee wasn't raised with them, I have had a time getting him to settle down and not do big "play postures" at the chickens. Well, last week I told him "These are Cherokee's chickens. You need to watch them and be nice to them." Who knew that...

This particular bush is over 10 years old. I have moved it several times, and it stays very happy! The flowers were so pretty this morning. The bush is about 6 feet tall!

October 28th is Cherokee's Birthday! He has slowed way down on his growth. But he is plenty big! He got weighed at the Vet's office today, 105.8lbs. At his first birthday he weighed about 112.5lbs But with our summers, dogs like him don't go out and do much during the daytime. He is good about...

Whenever we had leftover meat scraps, I freeze them in small amounts on a cookie sheet. And then store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Then I can add one to Cherokee's dinner each night. I got the series of photos above while doing this. Cherokee was so funny... He wouldn't touch any...

Old plastic containers really make Cherokee happy!

Probably on Tuesday, I will attempt to play with them in the chicken tractor. I think I will keep Cherokee in the house while they are out there. I have let him see, smell, and even a lick on the chicks heads! He seems not to be trying to eat them... But still he gets a bit excited when he sees...

Today we got six baby chicks!! 2 Easter Eggers, 2 Black Australorps and 2 Gold Sex Links. They all fit nicely in this tiny box. For the next few weeks they will need a heat lamp at night to keep them warm.Thankfully this time of year the coop stays nice and warm during the day. They were...

If you remember a while back I made a couple of trellises out of an old baby crib http://www.theeasygarden.com/threads/new-trellis-idea.18821/#post-252188 The Clematis I replanted seems to be happy in that spot! I hope as the weather warms up it will cover the trellis.

Years ago my husband built some protective PVC and chicken wire covers for my planters. They work great as a Chicken Play yard. I won't have chicks until much later in the summer, due to a trip to CO to see my daughter in July. But I am getting things ready slowly but surely. I came up with...

Almost a year ago now a neighbor was throwing away this old four poster bed. I loved it, it had ball and claw feet even! Well, on Monday work finally began to make it into a garden bench for my new "Chicken TV" patio. The supports for a seat are now finished. And yesterday I put a...

I need to refresh the eyes and teeth on my Tree Face. And I am thinking of using the paint on a few of the flag stone paths that are in the garden.

I have been working a bit in the backyard. These old sides of a baby crib used to be part of my chicken run. Now I am using them as a support for some vines. I have moved this Clematis vine from the front yard where it was getting too much summer sun. It appears to be happy in it's new...

Every night I brush Cherokee's teeth before we go to bed. He comes into the bathroom, and goes behind the guest towels, just stands there for a bit, then slowly emerges playing a sort of "peek a boo" with me.

It finally got almost up to 80 degrees this weekend! And guess who needed a bath!

Well, it is Jan. 18th 20016 and I have started to rebuild Glenn Cottage Eggery! Yesterday I put in a new patio area for watching Chicken TV. I hope to put a bench much like this one in that area. This morning I started putting my chicken run closest to the back door back together. And just...

Our mornings here are in the mid to high 20's!! Cherokee has so much energy in this cold weather that I have to play with him for about 30 minutes BEFORE we go for a walk!His tennis ball helps to get rid of some of his extra puppy energy. Notice the garden is covered. Way too cold for my...

It is very cold, windy and raining here today. But there is nothing to fear, we have a....

Had a great time at the park, about 1/2 mile from our house. Decided he wanted to take a rest about half way back home.
