Gardening and Raising Chickens... OH MY!

Salvaging Materials to build a Chicken House. 

Chicken House going up slowly as we design it. All materials salvaged except screws, paint, and a sheet of plywood
Chicken's nest had to be re-worked, but is now ready for move in when the hens are ready!

Building fencing to keep out the critters around here is a challenge!


Yes, I have done some of ALL of the work... except the roofing.

3 week old chicks are a riot to watch.

Square Foot Gardening, the "Mel Bartholomew" Method. The plants have doubled in size since these photos last week.



Broccoli's modest beginnings...



Thanks for checking in on me... just a bit of what has been keeping me busy in March! Veggies and Fresh Eggs are the future staples in my home!

Rhonda won't be able to go fishing for a while...

Hi Friends~
Just a note to ask for your prayers.
Rhonda is going to have a hysterectomy
Monday morning, July 19th.
She will be in Tyler at Mother Frances'
and is not looking forward
to this at all!

First because it is just NO FUN to have
things like this done...
Mainly because she will not be able to go
FISHING
for a couple of weeks or longer.
Dr. M. said that she can ride on the boat
after a couple of weeks
and then fish, well, later.....

Poor Poor Rhonda!
(Lucky, Lucky FISH!)

Hugs to all and thanks for your prayers!!!
