It's 2s-day on Wednesday. From the archives:

This yellow bird comes from the files of L.A. author Anna Sklar, who spotted the refurbished style-ride recently in Santa Monica. It's looking newer and younger than ever. The rooster is part of the moveable landscape of L.A., a familiar sight to many, though in different geographical contexts.

This little style queen is Cutie Patootie as a gawky tween, about three months ago. She's bigger now, and she started laying last week -- pointy blue-green eggs. She wants to lay them in a nest she made underneath the pachysandra (outside the coop), but unfortunately yours-truly does not have time to stand bodyguard (hawks! coyotes!) over that kind of project. So Cutie's parked in the hen house.
