A very intense day! Grab a coffee, here's how it went. โ๐
๐ White team vs. red team
The usual routine: managing the hens, divided into two rival teams, the white team and the red team. This time I upgraded my strategy: I placed a chair in the winter garden and sat there as the official garden guardian, ready to chase them away as soon as they got close. ๐ช๐ก๏ธ
And the verdict is in: the white hens are far more mischievous than the red ones. The red team keeps a respectful distance; the white team keeps testing the border, again and again, like tiny feathered smugglers. ๐
๐งน Mucking out the chicken tractor
Then the less glamorous part of farm life: a good clean-up of the mobile coop, the chicken tractor. Old straw out, fresh start in. The hens didn't say thank you, but I know they appreciated it. ๐
๐ Room service for the neighbour's cats
I also refilled the food dispenser for the neighbour's cats. At Ca' Paradiso nobody goes hungry, not even the guests on four paws who don't officially live here. ๐ธ
๐ Mushroom risotto by @candygio
Lunch was a treat: an excellent mushroom risotto cooked by @candygio, finished with a generous snowfall of Parmigiano. Creamy, earthy, perfect for the first real autumn days. ๐ง๐

๐ Pumpkins from Fattoria Naturale Shizen
To finish, a visit to Fattoria Naturale Shizen, a natural farm near Cagli inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka's method, where I bought a few pumpkins and squashes: butternut, a bright orange one, a blue-green one and two little striped ones. Autumn is officially on the table. ๐
Your turn: do you keep hens? Are some breeds (or colours!) cheekier than others? And what's your favourite pumpkin recipe? ๐
