Mama's Farm!!

Well maybe not really a farm....

but I have Chickens!

It happened a little faster than expected...

Ric and I were going to build a coop this weekend...

and then I was going to investigate finding a couple of chickens..

But...some friends of ours are moving, and need to find homes

for 20 chickens in 5 days!

We took 2...then came home and built that coop!

This is our interim coop until we can figure out what

we really want. Sorry Montana....

Our First Egg!

See the coop in the pen. It has a new front door.

I'm using the back for egg collecting and cleaning.
The run is 9ft by 4 ft

Our Girls!

The new pen and coop!

The Chicken Video!

Spring Has Sprung!!

Janell and I have been hiking again now that the rains have past - and Wow! Spring has arrived with a vengeance!

Everywhere you look flowers are opening - and more every day!

Daisies and lupine and carpet flower and wild onion and lots of stuff that we had no idea what it was! All of it so beautiful!

So come along on our walk in Wildwood park and see for yourselves!

What a view!

Daisies along the trail..
We call this carpet flower..I'm in really close so you
can't tell how really teensy tiny this flower is!

The lichen is all over ther rocks here, which are a

combination of granite and volcanic. We walked

past one really obvious flow -very cool!

Lovely lupine grows wild all over the

Conejo Valley

More pretty views and colorful lichen

This is a wild onion!

So beautiful -and they are everywhere!

Here is a whole field of them...

This carpety like plant had tiny little tight flowers

all over it -very low and spreading

Neither of us had any idea what this was! Very brightly

varigated - don't touch! Ouch!

Ahhh...such pretty sights..we hated to

head for home!

I hope you enjoyed our little walk..
