The chickens know when I have a treat for them and run out to greet me.

 Red moon just over the horizon this evening.

 It was impressive to watch Molly walk over the rebar grid (getting ready for a cement pad).

 Waiting for the lunar eclipse (this is through the telescope).

Update - around 11pm almost at the peak of the eclipse (again through the telescope).

 Harvested the grapes today, and made jelly.

 Sunrise.

 Beautiful sunrise this morning.

 The hens are huge fans of the zucchini and cucumbers that get too big in the garden (we feed them and they feed us). Sparkle and Penny in the photo.

 The chickens joined us on our evening walk for a bit.

 August 2026 home photo.

 We scared a flock of blackbirds out of the cornfield while on our walk.

 Not the best photo, but there is a Hummingbird over the flowers.

 A female Mallard taking off on the pond (she just flew to the other end of the pond) - lots of splashes.

 Washing sheets had to wait today - can't wake a sleeping cat.

 Miss Maggie sitting with her babies - the chickens. She loves to watch them, but never gets too close.

Much needed rain today. 

 I picked Swiss Chard with some chickens today.

 This week's photos have been things that caught my eye when I went to open the chicken coop each morning.
