Look who it is!
That’s sweet little Phoenix, who went home two weeks ago – have you ever seen such a content little face?
Debra says: Phoenix has such a rough life. Seriously, everyone is getting along great and it appears that Amber is somewhat of a mother figure to Phoenix.
I LOVE that so much! Thank you so much for the update, Debra!

Sights from around Crooked Acres.
It’s been forever and a day since I’ve done a Crooked Acres post. I had so many pictures in my “Crooked Acres” folder that there’ll be another of these posts next Tuesday.
Fresh figs! After living here for 11 years and trying several times to get fig trees to produce fruit, we were FINALLY successful. I had never had fresh figs before, and loved them so much that I ate nearly every single fig our tree gave us. SO good!
Chickens hanging out in their coop on a cool day.
Those two hens in the middle are glaring at the rooster, and their expressions are cracking me UP.
The rooster’s all “What? What’d I do?”
Cruella, looking fabulous.
Rooster keeps an eye on things.
Pretty Rhode Island Reds.
Ducks, doing their thing.
Stefan has a crush on Cruella.
Another pretty Rhode Island Red.
Persimmon, mid-July.
And mid-October. We got quite a few persimmons this year. They’re kind of a bland fruit.
Got a lot of muscadines, too.
(Despite the bumper crop of pears we got a year ago, we didn’t get a single pear this year. Hmph.)
Another shot of Cruella.
The pot of catnip – which I rooted from catnip that was growing in a raised bed we took apart this summer – is doing well. Look how happy it is!
So many leaves on the ground.
