The Prodigal Blogger

Ahem....well it has been 'some time' since I have posted on the Chook Whisperer. Much has happened in the intervening space of time. For a start, I've had another birthday and Nicole made me a birthday cake. She asked me what sort of cake I would like and that sent me off into a nostalgic anecdote about the birthday cakes Grandma Binny used to make me when I was a kid.

Well, that was enough for Nicole, who took up the challenge and made me this delightful cake. I promised Mum I'd send pictures of the cake, but this seemed a good opportunity to blow the dust off the chook whisperer and use the blog as a medium for providing them instead.

So here is picture of the whole cake...yep its my garden in cake form!!


Another shot (and the last fuzzy one I have before I figured out to put the camera in 'macro' mode)

Looks like the carrots are doing well in that garden!

Here is the chicken getting into the chicken feed on the ground


Hay Bales!

Another good shot of the Hay Bales (I have them stacked up in the back yard)
