I am almost done weeding all of the flower beds. I have yet to weed the herb garden, but it's in pretty good shape thankfully.
I've started harvesting chive blossoms (more on that later).
We came up with a solution to "fence" the other vegetable garden on a budget. We are seeking out a person to come till the vegetable gardens on a budget. It seems that the only one we can find so far, is with a large tractor (so glad we removed two sides of the fenced garden).
We had a coyote in the gardens lately. We are also hoping it has moved on.
The new coop build is on hold (sigh), but there is nothing I can do about it. When you run a homestead, you run into set backs here and there.
Our AC units are not in yet, and we are in the 80's. Again, another job on hold (for now).
I managed to gather yarn scraps to crochet the latest book blanket granny square, but have yet to crochet it. Progress.
I was asked if I had anymore crocheted water balloons, and the answer was no (of course). Back in Dec. of 2023 we held our last craft show. Despite letting everyone know, not one person we knew, nor other people who arrived, bought anything from us. I had a TON of inventory too. Something for anyone. The only lady to show up, was one that wanted knitted dishcloths, and I had already made them, and it was a good place to meet to exchange. We decided that was the very last one to do. Too much handiwork time, very little sales, and a lot of hard work to pack up and un pack and set up. Not to mention the cost to rent the space.
Anyway, I had asked a ton of people if they wanted them, and tried to sell the remaining water balloons. No one wanted them. I had a LOT leftover, so I took them to the library and they used them for an Easter Egg hunt that following Spring. That was over a year ago. Now, I'm being asked for them. Go figure. I don't even had the yarn to make them.
So, I will be doing a double check to make sure I do not have any left, but if you are interested in what I am talking about, the post and photo is on this: BLOG POST. Enjoy!
If you have the blessing of a weekend off, and adventures in the mix, enjoy!

I went over to that post and looked at the water balloons. I can't imagine anyone with kids NOT wanting them. What a great idea!
Blessings and hugs,
