I was out in the garden this morning checking on things when I noticed that my sweet chickie Jackie was not out in the run area of the coop with the others. I called her name several times, but she didn’t poke her head out to answer. I instantly had a horrible feeling. Dreading what I might find I opened the coop and found her alive and happy, getting ready to lay an egg. The relief felt fantastic. It occurred to me though, that one day one of my ladies would not be okay, and that would break my heart. I also realized that you guys would want to know about it as well. Would I have the heart to tell you? Oh the sad thoughts. Well she is fine now, so to cheer up this post, here is a picture of the Wisteria right now. Beautiful!
