Mr. Pumpkin And His Chicks

I took these photos yesterday.

We were gone for the day today.

The scarecrow needed a new head

and we had an artificial pumpkin

so...

I thought they should go together.

I let the chickens in the garden somedays

to keep Mr. Pumpkin company,

but mostly to eat bugs.

The hens are happy to get scratch

after not having any for a week.

They have almost finished the pumpkin.

The family gathered for Dolores church service.

It was good to see everyone, but sad.

My sister and daughter

are staying for the weekend.

One more service

to come

on Monday.
