| Koontenai Street backyard. "Happily Ever After" this way. |
Day #2 of Boise off the beaten track.
There is nothing better on a sunny September day in Boise than touring urban gardens and running around with the chickens. Boise's Best Flower Shop (real name) puts on a Tour de Coop every year with verdant backyards, clucking chickens, butter cookies and new t-shirts. They also were holding a raffle, for a new chicken coop, a bicycle, and our favorite, a painting of a monk and chicken (see below). Kathy hopes she wins the painting, but will settle for the chicken coop.

| Visiting with the chicken (the other was in the coop.) |
Our first and longest visit was to a house on Kootenai Street that looked like a retreat for elves, but we sneaked a peak anyway. The backyard was a child's delight of hidden paths with benches and swing sets and a lamp covered in ivy. A red chicken strutted around us as Kathy and I relaxed with punch and banana bread. A sign to our left pointed to "Happily Ever After." We agreed lounging in this backyard felt like happily ever after, but pickle duty called. See next post for all pickle details.
