May Day

Teri Tith at her first Met performance.

It was a "four egg day". That's the most we can expect since we lost one of our hens to a predator while I was in New York last week. The remaining girls are 3 years old and still producing well, mostly confined to their coup and the enclosed, secure adjacent run. The climbing rose is recovering from the severe cut back we had to do to install this enclosure. They really miss the free ranging. I toss them treats and vegetable scraps from the kitchen, but it's not the same. Now we are leaning how to manage the flies the build up of droppings bring.

I was able to take in two operas while in New York with my friend Lauren. It was fun to have Easter Dinner with her parents and sleep in her childhood bedroom. It's not every day you wake to a unicorn and song birds. (Lauren's twin bed had a satin, stuffed unicorn hanging directly over it, and her Dad has several bird feeders set up along the front of their home.)

Central Park on Easter Sunday

Home again, home again...after a long-planned trip East. We have a garden to plant. A cat, a dog and chickens to tend. We had dinner with my Mom, our first at her new apartment. I even got to go in the spa before dinner.

What a beautiful day it was!
