February signals the early beginnings of Spring, even though we are still in the midst of winter. The daffodils in our garden are just about ready to open their yellow blooms and the camellias are in full bloom in the garden. These beginnings of Spring have me thinking about what to plant in the vegetable garden in April and May. Vegetable gardens and fresh eggs are nothing new to Fair Oaks, a community located east of Sacramento, CA. Fair Oaks community farming roots go back to the early 1900's. Today there are chickens who have walking privleges in the streets of old towne Fair Oaks village area.
Attached are two of these resident chickens that can be seen strutting their featheres in the Fair oaks village. It is quite a feat (and a sight to watch) to sketch or try to take a digital image of these ever-moving feathered fowl.
Wishing you a little quiet time in February and a little sunshine.
