Life is so interesting on my Houston urban farm. There is always something interesting or entertaining going on. This is my diary of what happens in this crazy place when living and interacting with peacocks, chickens, bees, butterflies, and gardening.

Planting, planting, planting!
Wow, the weather is beautiful today. After a few days of overcast misty, rainy weather, it's nice to see the sun out again. Don't get me wrong, I love the rainy days too and so do my plants. I finished the veggie garden planting, now just waiting for the results. Meanwhile I'm busy planting lots of milkweed plants in my garden. The bees and butterflies are already visiting and I haven't even gotten some of them in the ground yet. My girls have really been enjoying the days also. Lucy's leg is still lame unfortunately. I'm not sure if she'll ever be better. I have to say that she has figured out how to move pretty fast even with that leg. In the evening when the other girls have gone into the coop to roost she will stay out with me knowing that I'll be picking her up and bringing her into the house to sleep in the chicken infirmary. But she still doesn't like to be caught so I end up chasing her all around until I can finally catch her to bring her in. Peeper is still expecting to come into the house daily to lay her egg. She always makes her happy sounds when she goes up to her space. Here's a video with the funny noises she makes when getting settled.
