A Very Sun Funday

  
Zoey was baptized this morning at St. Mary’s in Hudson. Doug and Liz stood for her. It was a nice ceremony and we had about 50 guests over to the farm for lunch.

  
After the party, Max and Uncle Keith came over to play in the pond. UK was able to plant an entire row of watermelons in the rear field!

 
Chickens love scraps from cooking… any and all vegetables except uncooked potatoes but they really love scratching around the garden for bugs and worms.

  
Baptism by fire and finally the bird feeder from outside our bedroom window. If you give the birdies a feeder, they’ll stay out of the seed planted in the garden.

Have a great week everybody!

A very pink evening

 
Peppers are starting to flower and I got celery in the ground.

 
Broccoli got in and tomatoes are loving this heat.

 
Brother Doug helped me plant, carrots, onions, basil, oregano, dill, thyme,  parsley, spinach and lettuce from seed. We cover them in straw to create a warm, wet environment to germinate the seeds faster. It also cuts down on weeds by blocking the out.

 

The sky turned a really crazy pink tonight so I ran outside to capture some photos. The sun painted the garden a haze of pink and the sky rumbled with thunder.

 
Just crazy cool and an eerie calm before the thunderstorms.

 
Fence and latch in the pink glow. I like the latch pic best of all.
