Fall Garden

It has been raining for five - yes - five days.  I got a small window of opportunity to pull a few weeds and throw in some fall seeds.  I planted turnips, radishes, collards and snow peas.    Max and Maggie don't seem too thrilled about the rain so they have been hanging out in the chicken coop.  I worked on Andy and Abigail's manes this morning.  They have lots of briars.  They are patient with the pulling and the tugging to get the briars out as long as their noses are buried in the sweet feed.  They aren't thrilled with Gus, the meddling shih tzu.  Andy keeps trying to step on him but so far Gus has been quicker and has been able to slide out from between his hooves in the nick of time.  The chickens could care less about the rain as it brings a multitude of worms for them to eat.  They are oblivious to the muddy puddle that has become their chicken pen.  They look perfectly content this morning at breakfast.
