Although I don't have a photo to share, I have integrated the new hens in with the older hens. Upon entry into the large coop, Sparta charged at them twice, once taking out a hunk of feathers. The older hens could care less. After that, they seem to be getting along. I haven't gone out to see any bloody bodies, so I'm happy with that. I do check on them often just in case.
I'm thinking he was telling those young ladies who was in charge, ha ha!
Monday it was dry, and very windy. I had high hopes to work outside Tuesday, but woke up to that pitter patter sound (again). I'm so glad I put all the laundry out on Monday. I even washed bed quilts, dog rags (old towels to wipe off wet dogs), and other bedding. My bedroom smelled absolutely wonderful. I love that smell when you bring it all back inside. And it's not affecting me with allergies right now. Farmers are not able to spray, due to wet fields, so it was a perfect time to wash large items.
Tuesday night? More rain.
The thought of peaches this year makes me happy anyway.

We are hoping for peaches this year too.
We have had frost warnings, but so far we haven't had one.
Thank goodness!
excited to hear you have peaches.
The peach trees we planted a few years back didn't make it. But we had a volunteer come up about 4 years ago... I'd have to check my garden journal we had blooms last year, no fruit. We had blooms this year and no fruit, however this year, we had a late frost as well. I think we were actually going to get fruit. But it didn't happen.
However, the plum trees we planted the same year as the peaches... finally put fruit on. Two whole-whopping plums! But hey! it made fruit. So like you I'm very hopeful to have a crop next year!
I'm happy that our fig tree is bouncing back from the over pruning two years ago ---and it looks like the tree is loaded with them.
I'm over joyed about the Muscadine Grapes!
thanks for stopping by my blog faithfully-- I'm missing my blogging time with friends.
There's hardly any flowers (well, maybe Sweet Peas) other than lilacs that smell as good when brought into the house!
As for your goat boys not being able to keep all of your grass under control, just let me know if they need help and I'll send a couple of these eager-eater goslings!
Sandra, we had a few cold nights since the tree bloomed, and they still produced peaches. We are super excited. Hubby wants to plant another peach tree this year.
Patricia, it's our 3rd year for our plum tree too, but so far nothing. I wonder if it will still produce any this year.
Mama Pea, ha ha! I bet they'd eat more grass than our baby goats. Even my chickens are keeping the run mowed down.
With grass that lush and green, those goats must think they're in goat heaven.
We've had a lot of rain here too. Glad I got a bunch of herb seeds in pots and in the herb garden before it all hit, so they'll have a great start before hot weather hits.
Hope everyone has a great, safe weekend.
God bless.

RB, that's what I'm doing today. In between rain showers. I got the dirt into the pots, but need to get the seeds into them.
Rainy here also but just enough sun to keep up with laundry hanging outside. Today is sunny so the clothesline will get used. I planted a peach tree or 2 on my farm but the coons always got them...never ever got a peach from my trees!
Sam I Am, something keeps digging up my grape vines. Could be a coon. Never though of that. I ended up putting plastic forks all around it (had not extra wire to wrap them). So far it's working.
