Whenever we had leftover meat scraps, I freeze them in small amounts on a cookie sheet. And then store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Then I can add one to Cherokee's dinner each night.
I got the series of photos above while doing this. Cherokee was so funny... He wouldn't touch any...
Well, I will get my chickens on July 26th, when I return from visiting my daughter in Colorado. In the mean time I am getting things ready.
The Sun Flowers and Morning Glories are growing nicely.
The vines are starting to flower now! I just love these!!
I was walking the dog and found this "stand" that someone was throwing away. It was black wrought iron. I got out my paints and make it like brand new.
Before.. (well, not really I forgot to do a before photo, this is after I put primer on it)
Here is the after photo, i had wanted to use it...
It has taken a year since I found the old four poster bed that is now a Garden Bench. I found an old chair that I turned into a table, by using the section that was cut out of the foot board of the bed to make the sides of the bench. Here is the new Chicken TV Patio area as of yesterday...
The city of Tucson has finally decided to become more Urban Agriculture friendly! They changed the zoning for chickens and small animals here in the city limits!!
I had a beautiful chicken coop I built in 2008. In 2014 the city made me take it down or face a $1000.00 a day fine!! Links to my...
Last year one of my neighbors was throwing out an old poster bed. I had to "walk" the bed frame to my house, (about two blocks away)since it wouldn't fit in the trunk or my car, or in our small pickup which has a camper shell.
Here it is after I brought it home last year, not the best photo...
The other day I made over 250 dog cookies!
And it cost me about $6.00!! Of course, the ingredients were on sale, so I might not have them cost so little next time.
They are made from Beef Kidney, Chicken liver, Spinach, and Ground Brown Rice.
Two weeks ago, I had a City Official come to my house and say they had a "complaint" about my coop, (not any of my neighbors, who LOVE the chickens and the eggs they get). Our city doesn't enforce "codes" about chickens unless they get a complaint.
Well, I not only had to find new homes for my...
For the longest time I have wanted to put some kind of water feature in the backyard. One of my friends is moving to OK. And gave me a waterfall she didn't think would make the move safely.
I worked all morning getting it set up and going!!
My daughter and her husband recently moved to a new home. They live in Eagle Colorado.
This is the walking path that runs behind their home,where they go walking most evenings.
I was so happy when I picked up the mail today! I got a personal note from Dean Koontz giving his permission to share his answer to Why did the Chicken Cross the Road?
Here is the front of the card..
And here is the inside granting me permission...
And this is his answer to.....
Why Did...
Living with my husband is interesting at times...
You would think after almost 20 years of marriage,
I would get used to his "knowing" things
he can't possibly know, but somehow does.
Last night about 7:15pm, Rich says "I feel like having Grouper."
(a type of fish that I have never seen here...
Rather than type in and post what I just put on my blog.

Snow we had in the desert this week.
