~ 113 ~ Walk With Me: Cemetery & Chickens

Not to be confused with a Chicken Cemetary

Which we do have a few of, but I won't be photographing them today. It's weird because I never thought I'd have friends I could talk to about chicken cemeteries, hell I never even thought I'd have chickens! Ahhh...the joys of homesteading. Can you relate?

St. Peter's Anglican Church

The North Side of the Church

Pine tree branches from the winter storms have fallen on these old graves.

In the very back of the cemetary...

Ancient unmarked graves.

And I Adore This One

"Love Conquers All"

There were a whole bunch of seagulls wheeling about in the above photo, they were so loud. The ocean is right there, they obviously found something tasty!

My Herd

See @allseeingewe, this is why I refer to them as a herd. Look at them stampede!

The ground literally shakes when they come running for their treats. And you would not believe how fast a chicken can run when there is the possibility of food.

They've also been up to no good again. I found a few egg stashes today, one in the meat birds' coop, which is our fault for having the hatch door still open from when we were using it as Peter Parker's hospital room.

Hi Tomato, sorry to disturb you and your (not so) secret egg laying, just here to get my booty.

Stash #2

Up on my table planter in the front greenhouse. Wtf #chickenbitchez! I was in the greenhouse getting it prepped for spring when I noticed them there amongst my planters and other shit I'm storing there right now. It made the perfect cover for their activities.

These antics will be over soon when I start planting my seeds and the girls have to stay in their run, it ends the easter egg hunting. But then I have a new problem, feeling sorry and guilty for them to not be able to free range while the seeds take hold :(

And here I was thinking this was all they did in there...

Dust Bathing

Alfalfa, you are a legend among your kind.

Other Coolness of the Day

The cove had a thin layer of ice on it this morning.

The little daffodils are trying.

A Hollyhock still spreading her seeds.

And Finally the Waxwings & Robins Are Back!

I hope you enjoyed this #WalkWithMe. Here are some outstanding walks with other Steemians who got out there in the world, and took us with them.
See life through their eyes...

I'm trying to play catch up with all the Steemians I get behind on this morning. I see you had a fun and amazing Easter! I definitely see the flaw in having no children at the holidays, kid families have all the fun! ;) I was sorry to see you didn't get to have @marionbowes with you.

It looks like Spring is trying to get to you, as it is with us. We had an amazingly warm April fools day and the joke for us was that it was 60 and felt like Spring so we wouldn't expect the 30s and blizzard the next day! Oh well, it melted by the end of the day, but Winter isn't going to go out without one last little slap in the face.

I'm amazed at how many chickens you have. I'd have so many more too, but I just can't free range here because of our foxes and coyotes are hawks are just too good at catching and eating them. I have to make their new larger run soon, though, if we can get more than one day together without rain.

I'll be excited to see your seeds started in your greenhouse. My windowsills are bursting with plants, I even notices my cukes are already getting buds, I kind of jumped the gun on starting my seeds really early because I just wanted Spring so much, we'll see if they will make it. I've transplanted them twice to bigger pots.

Well, this letter has gone on long enough. Happy to see chickens and a cool graveyard. I love graveyards and we have some pretty amazing ones around here and in Boston. Their is one in our little village that is on the Old Mill Pond and is really a delight. Being such an old part (for USA) of the country we have some vrom 1600s (mostly made over probably in the victorian times, but with the cool little skull head with wings and other interesting old carvings).

Ok, now I'm really done. Happy belated Easter and here is to Spring! New plants more chicks and longer days getting warmer!
