The rose is blooming for the second time. So far it only forms one little bud at a time, and the petals all fall off within 48 hours of it opening out to a bloom. I have no idea whether that is normal for a rose or not, I've never had one before. It's pretty while it lasts.
I accidentally killed a chicken last night (by closing the door to the coop on the poor thing's head). It was one of the little Sultans, w/ the mohawks. I feel more guilt for killing it by accident than I think I would if we had intentionally slaughtered it to eat. I buried it, since we're not set up yet for plucking and cleaning and the various associated messes of prepping a bird for dinner.
