Hen pecked!
Hubby turned the garden over to get rid of any leftovers.
The sound of the roto-tiller don't bother the gang. They are more interested in eating bugs!
After wandering around for a couple of hours, Charlie came up on the deck for a treat. Notice some of his neck feathers are starting to grow back.
Why he lets Laverne and Shirley pick at him I'll never know. Lucy never bothers him the way those two do. However, when he's had enough, he bites them. I just hope they all grow back before Winter!

And even the props spin.....
Japan's Air Self Defense Force has marked its 60th anniversary with a
display using plane-shaped scooters. The scooters were ridden by 24
members of the force's ground crew.
They look so unhappy.....
They look so unhappy.....
More geese
Gray, chilly and damp yesterday, but the geese kept flying over all day long!
Wonder if they know if it's going to be a bad Winter????
Usually by the time I hear them, find my trusty camera and go outside they are long gone.
Got lucky this time!

PARAPROSDOKIANS

4. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.
5. We never really grow up; we only learn how to act in public.
6. War does not determine who is right - only who is left.
7. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
8. They begin the evening news with 'Good Evening,' then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
