And how does your garden grow these fine spring days? I can tell you how mines doing, and well it’s not so good.
I’ve never sprayed our garden before for weeds, but heck there’s always a first time right? Check it out
Now my seeds that I planted in William’s greenhouse are doing pretty good.
I’m not sure why this one type of flower is going crazy – but if they all survive, they’ll be a good fill in flower.
I’ve been spending most or all of my nights after work helping with getting things ready for our local festival coming up for our town, but I’m hoping that I’ll have my part of it done soon so I can work in the garden. When you are sitting at the computer all day for work and then you go home to spend a couple more hours on it, spending time in the garden will be a welcome change.
So after I was out checking on the garden and other stuff, Daryl and Kyle have been busy tonight working on the yard. We’ve been getting rain on and off these past days and today when the sun came out, it was pretty noticeable that it was time to mow again. The yard usually gets mowed at least twice a week in the spring and to be honest we don’t even put the lawn mower away for weeks. Daryl also worked on spraying the dandelions after the yard was mowed. Just as the grass is really starting to grow, so are the dandelions. He does a great job keeping in front of the weeds and I’m grateful that he’s doing it. 
I checked in on the little chickens and everyone is doing pretty good. Without spending a whole lot of time with them lately, they sure are some scaredy cats! I tried for quite awhile to get a good picture of them, and this is the best that I could do. They’re getting pretty big and hopefully soon we can shut off the heat lamp. It’s still around 40 degrees this morning, so it’s got to get a lot warmer before that happens! I mean our furnace kicked on this morning and the thermostat is set to 64 degrees! Yea, it’s been a little chilly lately. 
Pumpkin soap was also on the agenda tonight and it was a test for me to see about pouring a white color into the yellow color and see what the outcome would be. Not sure if I like it or not for the color, but the soap is supposed to be good for nourishing your skin and also to help with psoriasis. It has at least 6 weeks to cure, so I guess we’ll see how it is comes about the end of June. It’s my first soap with literally opening up a can that I took from my cupboard and making soap out of it. It was kinda fun! 
The photo of the day is one that I took of our big trees in our front yard. The first one is to show how big they actually are. I think they were on the farm when Daryl’s folks moved here, so they are I’m sure over a hundred years old. I laughed when I saw this picture because of Reno in the front yard watching the bird fly over. Both dogs HATE birds and especially ones that just are flying over the farm.
OK, and the second picture is standing beside these trees in the front yard and looking up. When I was taking this one, I realized Reno was following me and was just watching me from the porch now. 
I think she was wondering just what in the heck I was doing looking up in the tree. Maybe she thought that I was watching a bird up there or something 🙂
