Greetings to you all. What a wonderful week it has been. We have been so fortunate with the weather. The gardens are growing amazingly and our feathered friends have enjoyed good days running around the yard visiting with the cats and birds and whomever else they run across. I was watching one of the chickens yesterday and she seemed to be acting unusual.Jumping kind of straight up and down.Then it registered what whe was actually doing...she was jumping straight up in the air and stealing cherries off of our cherry tree. Who says chickens are dumb. Ok Ok!!! most of them are but this one was clearly thinking with her tummy.
Ken here, it was truly a sight to behold! A leaping chicken, feasting on cherries. Never seen anything like it before. I finally got the last of the hay (grass) off the lawn. We use it to cover the soil in the gardens, over top of newsprint to help keep the weeds down and keep the moisture in. It works quite well actually and we've been doing this for three years now. No new purchases or devices to tell about. Just catching up on all the work which was supposed to be done in the spring. The very wet spring really delayed the outside work and we'll likely get it caught up just before the snow flies again.
Not much else to say other than Happy Dominion Day! (Canada Day for the younger types). Enjoy your day and the weekend.
