Chickenrun

Just got home from the playground and wanted to see how our little garden is doing, when I found a broken egg, chicken shit and a lot of feathers in our outside area. Next I see a chicken staring at me. It almost feels like farmville has become reality.

Lost Animal. Mayday, mayday! After giving it a bit of thought I realize that it must be the neighbors hen Phoebe (or Daisy or Carry...it changes name every week), which they got quite recently and after sending an alarm text message to them L. promises to send someone to come and catch it. I am too much of a chicken myself to do that and I never really liked to be picked on. L. tells me they had a fox in the garden this morning which led the chicken to take a hike. Understandable and it also explains all the feathers.

Concerning my "garden", things are really improving. We have heaps of squash (that more or less grow over everything else) and I am now trying to find good receipes to turn them into something eatable. Other than that it is carrots and salad that grow as they are supposed to I am looking forward to harvest everything very soon!!! My very first homegrown vegetables, yummy.
