Outside stuff

Once again we were blessed with good weather and that makes it so nice to be outside. So after work I tilled up the garden again to see if I can rid of more of the crabgrass that’s growing in it. I’ve always heard that once you get this grass in your garden, your’e stuck with it for life. When I would hear this I would think ‘drama‘ but now? I think that it’s probably true. My little tiller still is working good and I’m hoping to get the garden planted this weekend. I thought at first I was really behind a lot of people getting the garden in, but after talking to some of our friends these last couple of days, I’m right on track.

While I was outside in the garden I couldn’t help but noticing how the apple tree bloomed just within a day or two. So of course I grabbed my camera and snapped a picture.

I also checked in with the two little Robin eggs and they are still the same. And in this case – that’s not such a good thing! I had to laugh when I was in the back yard because out of the corner of my eye I could see a chicken standing there. It was Rocky. He is the only Rooster that we have left and he thinks he owns the whole farm! So he came over to see just what I was doing.DSCN8424

And who was the happiest of everyone today? Our cows!! Daryl hooked up the electrical fence and everyone (including Scarlet) got to be out on the pasture. These past 6 months were long with being stuck on the cattle floor so they are just literally hanging out watching everyone. DSCN8425
