An apology with chickens

I apologize for my silence lately, and I hope that this video of chickens eating cantaloupe will make up for it a little. Grad school is a beast.

Denise’s Garden

I was house sitting for my friend Denise and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to photograph her wonderful garden. She has a more relaxed way of gardening and lets any volunteer plants stay and hang out. This cantaloupe was a volunteer!

This beautiful striped melon is a Rich Sweetness 132 Melon. I thought it was a small watermelon but nope, that’s about as big as it’ll get! Their flavor isn’t supposed to be anything special but they are very pretty.

Denise’s sense of humor is all throughout the garden. This poor gnome stands guard over that flock of flamingos!
