Summer Reads...

Admittedly, I am not much of a book reader.  Maybe when I am at the beach with no garden or family distractions, I'll read a book...

BUT.

I read lots of magazines, must be my attention span! Whatever. I left Borders last night with an armload of garden mags and a bit less flower money! 

This month's Urban Farm : Sustainable City Living is EXCELLENT! 

If you are a backyard hobby gardener/beekeeper/chick with chicks 

or wanna be

 this mag is for you.

CHICKEN!

Chicken, a.k.a. "YardBird" at our house, is a staple at our dinner table, but not at my friend Mary Louise Nechtman's... She has little biddies roaming the yard! Mary Louise & John built a first-rate chicken condo in their backyard about a year ago and have been enjoying thier funny little pets ever since.

Isn't he/she handsome! It takes a little time to determine the sex of the chicken.

This one was ready for the photo shoot!

Here's another benefit to raising chickens...ML's first egg! Hmmm. will she boil, poach, or fry it? Will keep you posted on the chickens...

see you

ML
