My Wednesday Walk post for 
Once again I am not out hiking around, but instead can show you a few of the photos that I was able to take around my yard from the seat of my mobility scooter.
In the 20 years I have lived here in the woods I have seen lots of wildlife, but looking out yesterday and seeing three chickens under my bird feeder was a first!
I have seen deer, raccoons, beavers, possums, river otters, fox, coyotes and tons of different birds, including wild turkeys, but never hens happily pecking away at the seeds that had fallen under the bird feeder.
I made a phone call and it seems they belong to a neighbor down the road. They were quite a ways from home and it was terribly hot out today, so I gave them some water and they all had a drink.
Now that they know that there are easy treats under the feeder I hope they wander back this way again! And I wish them well avoiding all the dangers that lurk in the woods!
Petunias
It's taken constant watering but my flowers are all doing well. This Mandevilla is doing splendid this year and sending out lots of new growth. In the past I have killed them each time I have tried to grow them, so I am really pleased that the two I have growing this year seem so happy.
I have 3 chrysanthemums that are just beginning to bloom. They are all loaded with buds. This is the only one that has opened enough that I can be sure what color it is going to be.
The basil and parsley that I planted from seed last month are growing nicely and I replanted some lettuce seeds.
I'm still hopeful that I can have a homegrown salad from my own pot of lettuce growing on the deck. I had a lovely pot full that was eaten off just about the time it was ready to pick. I was blaming the squirrels for eating my lettuce until I went back on the security camera and saw that the culprit was a big fat woodchuck that came up on my deck and happily ate every leaf.
Wouldn't you think that with an entire woods full of green leaves to eat he should leave my pots alone?
