~Fall is in the Air~

We have been blessed with cooler weather 

in San Diego this weekend.

The heat has been unbearable with the humidity very high.

We have had our air conditioner on, 

it seems like all summer.

The garden was so pleasant to be wandering and 

checking out my plants this morning.

This time of year, we pull out the summer vegetables 

and plan our fall garden. 

To sit and plan where we would want new bulbs to go.

I wanted to share with you what I read

 about how to control flies near your chicken coop.

 Cut different herbs in bunches and hang them 

with jute near their coop.

Rosemary, Thyme, Basil, Sage and Dill.

They not only look pretty,

they smell good too!

I also read to place edible flowers near the chicken boxes.

Doria seemed to like the idea!

She laid an egg!!

Doria and Lucy are always surprising us in a new spot.

I displayed some flowers from the garden in their eggs. 

Lots of different colors.

Egg shells make a wonderful little vase.

Another surprise in the garden today!!
