Princesses, and Phoebe

You recall my last post on the Princesses, right?  Well, I'm happy to report that after a few weeks of sadness, they are now doing amazing!

18Feb - Propogation day

21Feb - Droopy! This is why I named them 'Princess'

8Mar - Already putting out flowers!

And Princess One is now furiously putting out new shoots.  I might keep her just to continue propogating new impatiens - come fall, I'm going to be swimming in them at this rate!

In other news, we are down to seven hens - Phoebe died a couple weeks ago. We couldn't determine the cause of death, as she had no predator marks, had been eating and drinking, and had no sign of health issues. So we've chalked it up to natural causes, and have been keeping an eye on everyone else, who seem to be doing just fine.

Aside from Phoebe, things are good here. We had a windstorm yesterday, and I'm happy to report no damage and only 5 small power outtages, lasting from 5 seconds to 20 minutes each.  Large chunks of the city were without power all day yesterday and into today - proof that town living doesn't guarantee a consistent power supply.

Well, time to go visit the chickens!
