I'm seeing lots of meshy netting on bushes this year. I've wondered what it is for. It is one way to prevent birds from getting to the berries.

Maybe deer netting?

The best Google Lens guess is Reishi

I think so too, @Neb .. was looking for some confirmation.

Do some research please.

When Google lens is good it is very very good but when it is wrong it is horrid.

It's an iced mocha kinda morning. Basil in the dehydrator, doctoring sick chickens, and the temperature is HOT degrees. Good morning family. *sips iced coffee.

Life is settling down. Mr TC had time to play with his cow pony today.

 

[TexasCharm]

They work together well. It feels great to be working with the horses again.

Trying to get my head back in the game! New bread recipe.. turned out amazing!

Morning glories have gotten away from me and have taken over an elderberry. Looks like a morning glory tree!

I’m not tired of your chicken and peeps! Post away! Also love the horses, dogs, whatever ya got.

I'm gonna be the crazy chicken lady for a few posts.
The chicks are a month old and haven't been out of the coop.
I opened the door today, with camera ready.

Calli (mom) was excited, but had to tell the world that SHE WILL KILL YOU.. lol
Have you ever seen a chicken look more like an eagle in the face?

She was soooo ready to come out, though.

 

[TexasCharm]

OMG! MOM! what are you DOING????

She was very patient and coaxed them down.

She was one happy hen to finally get a good dirt bath after a month.

Both my splash babies are looking like pullets, which is nice.
The last mess of babies I had, all three splashes were boys.
They are having so much fun outside today.

These two bantam girls (mille fleur d'uccle and a self blue old englsh) were last minute feed store takes. They had about 10 bantam chicks left that were getting "older" and these two looked like pullets so I picked them up. They are best buds and wild as march hares. They rarely venture out of the coop but are also enjoying the amazing weather outside today.

Should I get a bantam roo? I'm not convinced.

 

[TexasCharm]

Our weather has been beautiful the last couple of days.
It was an equestrian kind of afternoon today.

This is how you mount bareback when you're in your 60's! LOL
Y'all don't be jealous of his attire ......

 

[TexasCharm]

Mr TG and Gunnie had another relaxing ride in the round pen.

 

[TexasCharm]

Badger can't be ridden right now but he enjoys ANY attention.
Mr TG is cleaning his hooves and Badger is enjoying it, um, WAY too much.
He's just an attention whore.
LOL

 

[TexasCharm]

Ladies, I hope you can find a man who looks at you the way these two look at each other! Bahahahaha

 

[Pearl]

I don't even know what to say about "the attire", glad Gunnie doesn't mind!!

 

[Patchouli]

I'll admit I was surprised the first time I saw the teen girls wearing shorts and cowgirl boots in Texas, and then women and men. Quite the look, I love it. Your chicken momma is awesome. All great photos, @TexasCharm
That white horse is beautiful!!!

@Pearl and @Patchouli

The fact is, it is bright and hot in Texas. You want to wear boots around horses, but you put on your lightest pair of shorts, a T-shirt, your hat and sunglasses and you do your thing. The horses don't care!

Mr TC had NO idea anyone else would see his attire , and truth be told, I've worn less... with boots.... on the privacy of our own property.

We are appropriately attired in public.

We both live here in Texas too, @TexasCharm .
