Happy Mother's Day
May Morning WalkAbout
The chicks spent their first night in the chicken tractor, and as I went out early to check on them and let them out of the house, I was prompted to return for the camera and walk about in the warm sunshine. What a glorious spring morning!

| Pullets and a rooster perhaps? First morning out! Mary, Marin, Marty, Del, and Delta! |

| Second Feeder among the Apple Blossoms |
 |
| Surprises me that birds don't go for cranberries. A string from the Christmas tree.... Maybe the birds detected that they weren't organic? |
 |

| Lilacs reach to the sky. |
 |
| Mmmm.... beautiful. |
