Plans to have a day out changed and instead we headed out into the garden.
I grabbed my phone and took some pictures - something I haven't done in a while.
I love seeing how the garden evolves; changes with the seasons, adapts as the children grow, accommodates new guests.
The chickens went full on free range for the afternoon whilst I found our one and only sunflower looking rather sorry for itself. Dried poppy heads and a garden full of weeds completed the sad picture of the garden finishing its business for the year. Both our sheds need some work doing to them. His has a sign - I'm still trying to locate one for me - whilst mine needs some more paint and some work inside. And the kiddies? They occupied themselves creating a minibeast hotel on the patio complete with cherry tomato cushions and grass carpet.
It's the simple things sometimes that make me smile the most.
I'm linking up with the beautiful Mammasaurus...
look the chucks! It is nice just having a day where you potter and enjoy the fresh air isn't it?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Sometimes I feel we have to go out but today we appreciated our own space.
DeleteHow fabulous to have chickens, my toddler would be ecstatic if we have them. Wonderful photos and I love the kids garden too :)
ReplyDeleteThe chooks are great and the kiddies love them but they are work too!
DeleteI feel mean now. Haven't let our hens out into the main garden yet. Still being moved around in their chicken run. Yours look like they are enjoying the freedom. Maybe tomorrow.......
ReplyDeleteWe've only just started to let them roam out of their run. We were moving them round for a while in their house but I got fed up with them wrecking the grass!
DeleteLoving the new luck! Lovely photos too, beautiful hens (and children obvs!) :D
