GLORIOUS MONSOON! OUR NM DESERT IS AWASH WITH COLOR AND FRAGRANCE.

 

HEN HOUSE PROJECT! 

Connor (husband's son) and I built this hen house out of all recycled materials that he gathered. I was his 'sous carpenter' for the project. I bought the tiny chicks 9/1/22 and raised them in my studio moving them into their home 10/9/22. Buff Orpingtons! Beautiful golden girls and one (unintended) rooster. There will probably be no eggs until spring but I'll enjoy watching them grow and forage and strut and chirp anyway.

I hear the voice of a young deer

Rising from a mountain ridge.
