3 week birthday

Here are the latest pictures. Chicks 3 weeks old today, notice the brown feathers. The one in the corner is BAD not MAD !!

BUT......she may be mad because she's been bad and made to stand in the corner !!

2 weeks and 1 day old

Here are the chicks 2 weeks old, living in chicken heaven. Nice warm house, plenty of food and water, some chopped green feed each day. What more could they want ?
The feathers are growing nicely and the dark brown is starting to show in the new feathers around the neck.
This breed is Isa Brown, bred for the large dark brown eggs they lay.

to change the time

Now, lets see if I've selected the correct time zone (this is not easy for an old geriatric!) Nope, that didn't do it. HELP !! Maybe I can ask the Veggie Gnome (she knows lots about computers, and Blogging)

avocados !

This is the first year we've had avocados on our tree, the 3rd.year since it was planted. It was such a lovely morning I decided to take some pictures of them still on the tree. They are Hass avocados, and I have read that they can stay on the tree for 8 months before picking. (they dont ripen until they're picked, and even then they take almost 2 weeks to soften.

wrong time

I need to work out how to change the posting time showing on my Blogs. The day shows correctly but somehow, this computer doesn't know what time it is ! I thought it knew everything and I was the "dumb-cluck"

A lovely sunny morning

It looks as if its going to be a good day to work in the garden today. There is lots to plant out, and heaps of weeds to deal with.
I'm not a very good photographer, but In this picture I have attempted to show the buds on the plum tree about to burst into flower. Maybe with the sunshine today ?
