This Spring and Summer, I enjoyed working in my garden and expanding it. I'm trying to develop more butterfly garden space and produce more of my own food. Anyway, the hens were allowed to explore the yard whenever I was home. And I'd so enjoy sitting in my garden and working in the rows and I'd look up and the girls would be along the fenceline with me, looking at me, preening, digging, eating bugs. We had so much fun together. I can say from the bottom of my heart that there's nothing quite as nice as having a few hens and your dog in your yard as you work on your garden. It makes life so sweet!
