Rain Possibly?

It looks like we may get some thunderstorms here today.  I'm glad.  We need some rain.  It's great for the garden too.

I'm also glad I finished up the laundry yesterday.  My son also helped me clean out the rose bush flower bed.


This is what we started with.  We first dug out all of the rose bushes and moved them to other locations.  The chickens kept getting into this flower bed over the last few years.  They dug out the plastic sheeting, and you can see what the did to the mulch.

We ripped out all the weeds and have it ready to replant new rose bushes.  The last ones were not really what I wanted.  I won't be using that plastic edging either.  This project will take a few weeks to finish, along with building a chicken tractor for the barred rocks.  They seem to be the ones that get into the most trouble here.  Say a  prayer hubby is up for the challenge.  

Where there's a will, there's a way....

Update on the Coffee Jelly - it thickened up more and the kids love it.  I'm up for making another new one soon.

I have GOT to try that coffee jelly. I love coffee anyway so I'm sure I would love that.
It's so nice you have helpers. I have to do everything myself and as I age I sure don't have the energy I used to but I manage and persistence is key! LOL!
A bunch of my rubber mulch got washed away when we had some really hard rains a few weeks ago but I'm putting edging down so hopefully that will fix that. I think that's what "farming" in any capacity is about....trying, failing and then figuring out a solution...part of the circle of life. Good luck with all your chores and I hope you do well at the market!

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
