Yesterday The Girl and I stopped by Mrs. HB’s place to check in on Lucy’s babies and to collect some eggs. Mrs. HB got rid of the rooster two weeks ago and the girls are much calmer and friendlier with each other now. They even like to be picked up… which is a total 180 from the last time we checked in on the hens.

Happy hens lay tasty eggs.

And their organic fertilizer? It does wonders in the garden. 😉

Mrs. HB proudly sent me home with chives, rosemary, peppers, a giant leek and a handful of basil. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Have a great sunday everyone,
