I haven’t killed it all yet!
Remember the tomato plants that I thought the frost hit and killed? They have big leaves on them! I can't believe it!!!

Happy hen pics

Their feet are clean and just beautiful. Their eyes are alert and always on the hunt for a few bugs … Continue reading Happy hen pics
