Girlie Weekend Update

Chicken update:
Patty is all about the camera. She is most likely going to be the dominatrix so she isn't afraid of anything.
The flock
The rest of the group tends to avoid me and the camera. Olga is getting to be the fluffiest. She likes to puff out her blond feathers. Theola is giving Patty a run for her money in the area of dominance. She likes to perch on top of the water and look down upon her subjects. This drives Patty crazy. Ora is the runt, but she's happy not to be involved in the drama.

I tried to go into the Mt. Vernon United Methodist Church but it was closed for the day. 
 
 
Tours are available Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
I wandered into the Pope John Paul II Meditation Garden. Very nice mural there.
 
I also stumbled upon the Garrett-Jacobs Mansion
 
whilst looking for the German Society of Maryland.
We try.
