Ivy's opinion of gardens

Gardens are nice for people. Gardens make people happy. I will wait inside doing chin-ups until later in the day when I go out to watch for little meeeses who may come out to play!

4 Hens in a Row

The big attraction for these four ladies is the remnants of an overturned flowerpot full of potting soil and whoknowswhat!

Did you taste that worm?

That was no worm. That was a piece of vermiculite!

Oh, yuk. I already swallowed it.

Pictured are L to R: Goldilocks, Lacey, Hildegarde and Rosie.

Earth Day Fair

[Photo of cat face decoration on hen pen has nothing to do with Earth Day, just thought you should see it] Goldilocks and Hildegarde were the belles of the ball at the Earth Day celebration at Cornerstone Art Center on the Colorado College campus. Hildegarde: The crowd really loved me. The photographers were pushing and shoving to get close shots. Did they take one of you, Goldilocks? Goldilocks: Sure they did. How could they resist my golden feathers? Everyone knew exactly who I was. They saw our nametags and all knew which I was. Hildegarde: Oh, Goldie dear, of course they did. (cough, cough) Goldilocks: The kids always chose me as their favorite. Hildegarde: Oh really? It was the adults who chose me. They recognized my incredibly subtle coloring and feather arrangement. Goldilocks: I wouldn’t be so sure they were choosing you for your feathers. I heard them talking about KFC.
