Broody Mama and another sunset

I am not sure if this is the same hen that went broody a month or so ago. We have 4 black (and 2 red) hens in the little coop, and it is hard to tell the black ladies apart. One of them started sitting on all the eggs that the others were laying, but since we don't have a rooster, none of the eggs were fertile. When I bought some eggs from a neighbor and went to grab her—she had already given up and left the nest box.

This second time I was able to catch her and put her in the dog crate in the garage with a dozen new eggs. Just yesterday, on day 21, she hatched all 12. Considering there were some very hot and humid days that were even hotter in the garage, she did an amazing job. One of the hatchlings died the same day, maybe because it was too crowded under her, but the 11 survivors all seem very healthy.

Mama with 11 new babies is the main pic of the day, but this sunset with blooming elderberries is stunning as well. This will be our first year with such a huge crop of berries. Cousin Chris is interested in picking some to make elderberry wine. Not sure if I get to participate in the making, or just supply the fruit and enjoy the wine.

The little cherry tree in front had a great crop of cherries this year, but the birds ate all but one before they got ripe. I think even if the birds get to the elderberries, we should still have enough left for the humans.
