The box of living leaves which I bought for the girls at the bargain price of sixty pence had regrown about as much I thought they were going to. It was time to give them to the girls for a second go.
Emerald is first to the box of greens
Rusty and Freckles join her
Apricot joins them
The leaves are disappearing
Soon there are just stalks left
I think we have definitely had our money’s worth out of these. They were actually quite tough so when the girls were finished with them I added them to the compost bin.
It was funny how once again Emerald and Speckles went straight to them but the little girls were wary at first. Rusty and Speckles are always the boldest of the little girls and then Apricot. Dandelion and Cinnamon didn’t show much interest.
Speckles was still playing her role of mother hen and was plucking little bits from the leaves and dropping them in front of the little girls. I think we have done justice to this box of leaves.

How nice for them.
They do love their greens.
Oooo Emerald’s new feathers are sooooo pretty!!!
She is beautiful, she shimmers in the sunlight.
