Thelma the chicken has been prevented from coming over to our cottage ever since Bentley decided to be the Winner Winner of a Chicken Dinner! She is safely in her yard next door. So since we can't have a live chicken living in our garden, I found this cute little one at a garage sale. I have decided to name her Thelma II.
I will say though, that the real Thelma sure looked cute perched on the arm of the vintage rocker on our front porch!!
Yes Bentley you may peek through the fence to see the real Thelma, but you are not allowed to pull out her tail feathers!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

I bought this cute little rooster lamp at a thrift shop last week. Do you think he's a "chick magnet"?? Is that the reason why Thelma just can't stay away?
What do you think Bentley?

Here I am in my red cowgirl boots. I am a "Barn Chick in Training". I am getting some real "hands on" experience today. My mission: Return Thelma to her coop next door.
Yes, that's right, Thelma and Bentley had another altercation on our front porch this morning. Apparently she has decided she would like to live permanently at Ash Tree Cottage. Bentley has said no!!
Now that Bentley is safe inside, or should I say that Thelma is safe from him, I will fulfill my mission. I have filled up a little bowl with pumpkin seeds. Since I am only a "Barn Chick in Training", I'm not sure if chickens eat pumpkin seeds or not, but it's all I have. Off I go on the hunt for Thelma who is somewhere in the garden ...
There she is ~ under the wisteria arbor. Hi Thelma! Look what I have for you!!
That's a good girl! Okay, I'm going to pick you up and put you back in your own garden! Okay gals, that's Lesson No. 1 in Barn Chick Training. Approach the chicken slowly, wearing red cowgirl boots and bearing gifts. Hey Karen, I hope that this qualifies me as a real "Barn Chick"!!
Okay Bentley ~ your cottage garden is all yours once again!
Love,

I am interrupting this White and Wordless Wednesday for a Special Report!!! One of my neighbor's chickens has hopped the fence and is sitting on the arm of the rocking chair on the front porch (she can't sit in the seat because yet another phone book has been delivered and is assuming that coveted spot)!! Needless to say, Bentley is inside looking at her and is very aggravated about the whole situation!
Further updates as they happen. Thanks for tuning in for this brief interruption. Back to our regularly scheduled post!
Love,

Chickens like weeding!!!
Our neighbor, Dr Amy and the girls are participating in some
weeding between the rain drops we are having.
See Bentley ~ Don't you think we should get some
chickens too? No??? Don't you think it would be
great to have our own chicks??? No???
Oh well ~ it was worth a try!

Thelma's coop mate ~ Aretha has been missing for the past
week. As I told Bentley ~ "She flew the coop"!
However, Aretha was found today nesting on top
of 16 eggs!!! She decided to nest between 2 garages
in the alley. Apparently something scared her
and she came back home!
The neighborhood hunt has ended and we can all
rest comfortably now that Aretha is back home!
Be gentle Bentley, Aretha is exhausted!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley
