Dec. 13th

After our vegetable garden said “Adios” for the winter, we let the girls use it for a dust bath and tasty bug buffet.  They really destroyed it and it became a backyard eyesore.  To lift the gloomy shroud of winter from my kitchen window, I planted some cheerful pansies to brighten the view.  Jim installed a wire fence to keep the hooligans from tearing up my pretty landscape.  The girls were not amused.

What's this Violet?

Mom, we can't get in!

 

Dang it, these look delicious! Let's all peck at once.

 

This one tastes like sunshine!

 Meanwhile, Rowdy snoozes in front of a warm fire and sparkling Christmas tree…

 

I am so glad I'm not a chicken.
