We have seen two baby rabbits and one baby brown snake. They were all very cute. We have baby watermelons in the fruit garden and baby tomatoes on the vine. Hope there are enough tomatoes to make salsa, pizza sauce and spaghetti sauce. Including the plants we got from the bank we have 62 tomato plants still going strong.
The girls are all grown up. Millie and Kaza are huge. They look like full grown chickens but they are only about 10 weeks old. They are living full time at the cabin now. We made them a 5 gallon feeder bucket and bought them a 3 gallon water bucket. They seem to have made the adjustment from inside chicks to outside chicks pretty well.
Pictures to get us caught up :-)

I may be bringing my dad down there one day. His grandfather owned a lot of land to your left when driving down your driveway. I bet he'd love to see what all you've done in your garden.
ReplyDeleteWe are busy and having a good time. Bring your dad any time. He will just have to excuse the grass. I am still trying to catch up since we got back from vacation. Would you ask him if he knows the name of our creek? Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I am envious. I love what you're doing.
