In my life today-





Bleeding Heart


~~~

Some chickens came to visit. They like to get the leftovers from our cat's feeding bowls...also, to scratch for bugs beneath the orange trees!
(They belong to our neighbors- the young couple who are renting our house.)

  2. Now THAT'S the same kind of bleeding heart I have! Wow, the deep rich color of your photo tells all too! They are a gorgeous plant, that I can say.

    And the backyard company? So, so cool!!!

  3. Hi Anni,


    Yes! I think that Bleeding Heart plant is beautiful...even the deep green of the leaves is attractive! I just bought this plant this spring.

    :) I have always liked chickens and we had them for several years here. Looks like we got them again!! I don't mind them being around...unless they start messing with my roses!

  4. Hi ec,

    Yes- that is a fine, big, rooster!

    They are finding plenty to eat around here- including Cat Food!

  6. Thanks, Peter,

    I only have had one of these before-and kept it as a hanging plant. It didn't last too long! This one is in the ground so am hoping it will do better.

    My picture, tho, is a little blurred!

  7. The bleeding heart is lovely! That is a colorful rooster you have too! We always had chickens when I was growing up. If I had the room for them I'd love to have some now, but we don't, so I enjoy looking at the pictures!!

  8. Hi Rachel,

    Yes- I love that Bleeding Heart! Hope I can keep it doing well.

    Well- that rooster isn't mine but it might as well be-as he spends a lot of time around here! :)

  9. That rooster probably helps with bugs doesn't he? He's a handsome one.
    Your bleeding heart is lovely. I don't grow that here.

  10. Oh, yes! The chickens eat a lot of bugs!

    A few years ago we had a LOT of chickens but haven't had any for a while now! These are not mine but seem to like it around here! Our house and the rental house are on a five acre plot-and it's all together- so the chickens have claimed tho whole place as their own! :)- I like to watch them!
