The day flew by like lightening.
Before I knew it evening was creeping in on my little acre.
So I paused and poured myself a chocolate-vanilla cordial and meandered to the shade of my fire pit.
There I sat and witnessed the garden growing and ripening in the verve of late August.
I looked down and around …
I looked looked up and within.
I witnessed the hens doing their chicken antics. Free entertainment, that.
I tidied around the fire pit, creating order to which the hens promptly manifested chaos.
I smiled at their fluffy butts. I just love their fluffy butts.
I sipped my cordial and considered making it less sweet with the next batch.
I laughed as I heard one chook say to the other, "I think you have a little something on your beak there."
Yeah. Being. Witnessing. That's what I made today.
Peace.

Ah, a reminder to pause and enjoy the simple wonders
Love this, Rose! Thought of you as I picked elderberries here yesterday........... What variety is the gorgeous rusty speckled hen?
Thank you Kathleen, Suzan, Kim and Elaine. :) I love your comments!
And Elaine, I'm clueless when it comes to breeds and varieties. What I can you is that she is a great layer and a coyote-survivor. She dashed to brush-cover last winter and didn't return to the run until dusk. She was only survivor and I love her for that. :)
They are wonderful photos, special moments ...
These chickens are very nice, well maintained.
The natural world is a gift to the soul.
Thanks for sharing these moments.
A hug!
I don't know many chickens so I never knew they had fluffy butts.
Love this post. Reminds me of when I got to house sit a friends house; take care of her garden, feed her chickens, eat the fresh veggies. I loved it! Thanks for sharing. Made me smile.
