Two of us LOVE birds.
We have only seen this bird, the Summer Tanger, once before at a State Park and this year Andrew saw it in a tree in our backyard.
My mom gave us a pool last year, we declined and this year we accepted. Eager to get it up and full.
I guess you could call this a redneck playground:)
We have had a chicken disaster this year. Carter lost 21 of his lay hens to a fox (he has 3 left) and Andrew lost 15 of his pullets to dogs (he has 9 left). Andrew will still show 5 chickens in August and sell them at the auction.
We have 2 Black Stars.
7 Red Stars
3 Barred Rocks
This dog, Daisy, is a MESS!
He, Copper, is a BIG BABY! Who doesn't listen well.
The cats killed this little guy.
She wanted to hold it.
We have 4 cats now.
Ann
Charlie
Grayson
Buddy (our newest member around here)
I have a love/hate relationship here.
Love to watch them.
Hate it when they eat my beets, okra, sweet potato vines and swiss chard- which is happening daily!
I love herb too! I use them often and just simply like the way they look.
Mint
Stevia
Lemon Balm
Chives
Parsley
Orange Mint
Cilantro
Thyme
Basil
Dill
The wildness to our lives...
I finally put a feeder out front and now our beloved cats like to catch the birds... not good!
I dug up some Iris up from my dad's house which were originally from my grandparents house... hoping they bloom next year!
I have peaches ordered so I can make plenty of jam for the months ahead.
We are ordering more chickens to replace our lost ones.
Goats are still coming but possibly not until spring... a friend bred all of their goats.
The garden is still not great. Slowly getting a few things.
Ordering books and planning for this next school year.
Full speed ahead!
