The Longest Day!

I fully took advantage of yesterday's solstice and worked in the garden until I couldn't see anymore and for fear of the long slithery things that creep in the yard, I skedaddled back to the house.

My garden is one step, OK maybe more like a half a step away from being out of control on me. It's been so freaking hot and humid here the past week, that it's no joy to go out and work in it. And if it's not too hot, it's pouring down rain! I can't win.

The girls and I are enjoying the chickens very much. I didn't think I would say this 2 years ago, but I actually like the little buggers. They follow me around the yard and talk to me. The only problem is when I mow the yard, they won't get out of the way of the mower, so I have to wait on them......... something is wrong there, but I haven't figured it out yet. They must be somewhat happy because we've been getting 5-6 eggs a day. I'm actually giving some away now!!!

I know my post are few and far between, but with the oldest boy gone I don't have any help for the yard and it's all me! Five acres is a lot to contend with alone. I can't wait for our vacation getaway to Colorado. I will relax then and bask in the glory of the mountains!!!
