Sunflowers and a Lucy update
I asked L. to take some photos of the sunflowers in our yard over the weekend. They really are blooming now (thanks to all the chicken poop fertilizer) and as tall as last year. Although we liked the suggestion/comment from Nancy about making a sunflower house, we never did get our act together to plant them correctly to do it.
L. said this one was a "sunflower picture with Chion." She always finds an excuse to take another photo of one of our cats (like we don't already have about 1,000 of them). I suppose you can see that tiny flower in the background...
And we have an update on Lucy the Lucky Chicken that the girls wanted to share. Fino put a plaster cast on her leg yesterday and now she can hobble around the coop.
I'm always learning something new about my chicken friends - and my husband's many talents.

Sunflower houses are so much fun! We planted our sunflowers too close to the girls' wading pool and after one to many drownings, I ended up just mowing them down. Oh, well. There's always next year ;).
Yours look awesome, though. Do the squirrels up that way steal the seeds?

I need some of that chicken poop for my garden! Everything is dying on me. Also, my sunflowers didn't come back this year :(!

No squirrels climbing our sunflower stalks over here. We actually grow them to supplement the chicken feed. It's cheap for us to grow and looks pretty in the yard. It's kinda like Christmas for the chickens when we cut the stalks down :-)
And UC, we're sorry to hear of your garden woes! Fino does have the magic garden touch.
