Hummingbird

On Friday I made this bread from a recipe in Edible Shasta Butte magazine. Of course, I cut the sugar in half, and it was still plenty sweet.

Here it is sliced. Aren't these plates nice?

Then I loaded the chickens into their tractor. Here's the ladder that Rick made for them.

I put the chickens to work on a recently cleaned area.

And while the chickens worked, I sat around drinking beer and taking pics of the hummingbird sipping from the white irises.

You don't often see one resting. Notice how big the fairy light bulb looks compared to her.

As you can see, the irises are in full bloom and have completely screened the tub.
