Much needed rain

Yesterday we got some much needed rain which made the chores much easier this morning.  No watering needed for any of the gardens.  I have okra, cucumber, blackberry, and sweet maryjane seeds planted in 6 packs, the okra and cucumbers, no problems, they are already huge and growing.  Sweet maryjane and blackberry, we are still awaiting your entrance.  It is amazing to watch the process from seed to plant.  Every morning I wake up to walk outside and lay my eyes on my Coltyn, my geese and the seeds progress.  It is amazing the great joy you can find in such small things.  When you think you have it all figured out, along comes nature, and makes you see that things work out the way they should.  We don't always understand, but one day it just suddenly hits us.  I am truly blessed with a wonderful man I stay in love with and seven amazing children, not perfect, but amazing people and my little farm.  Thank you dear father for what you continue to bless me with.  I am humbled by your existence daily. 

The chicks getting sun and Coltyn is HOME!!!!

What a great weekend, got the garden stuff planted, the chicks enjoyed the bright sunshine and most of all, Coltyn is home with me!  The geese are keeping him company quite nice.  Such a spoiled boy he is!  We planted a kitchen herb garden right off the side deck and changed the outdoor furniture all around.  Life is so good!  All the plants are growing, the sun is shining, my kids and animals are healthy and happy, what more could a person ask for?  God Bless us all!  Thank you so much for our blessings!

When my son buys veggie plants with his money, we know we are creating a lasting impression!

My cell phone just rang and it was my son calling from his dads phone, he said "mommy, guess what I bought with my money?"  I listened for at least five minutes straight about how he got sweet potato plants and some flowering shrub he tried pronouncing after leaving Tractor Supply.  And he only spent $4.20, so not only did he buy plants, but he got a deal on them too!  You go son! 

Java Chicks are doing great

My new flock of 10 Java chicks came from Deborah over at High Ground Farm in Duncan and boy are they plump healthy little ones!  She raises some quality birds!  Her place is amazing, it has taken her 30 years of doing one thing at a time so she tells me to get it there.  She has amazing heirloom tomato fields going, and her kitchen garden is full of peas on trellis's and yummy goodies she eats on every night.  I was just so taken back by her style of living, she was country, when country was not cool!  So urbany and earthy!  Thanks Deb!
