ZOMG chickens

I got six chicks for my birthday, show-quality bantam rose comb somethingorothers. There are a pair each of three different colors. I really just wanted two well-behaved full-sized females for egg-laying purposes, but will have to make do. My blog will now descend into all things chicken.



The maple syrup, BTW, should be left as syrup. The candy I tried to make was a disaster.

Raspberries are forming now and should be ready for picking in three or four weeks.

My honeygold apple tree is dead. : ( Only one of the remaining trees has any fruit on it, which is probably a good thing. The blasted pear tree, of course, is teeming with little pearlets.
