I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Back weeks ago, I guessed I had 4 roosters and 3 hens with my spring chick purchase. The other day I took another closer look. I may be right, but time will tell.
Debby Flowers do you make and sell goat's milk soap? Or anyone else that follows my blog? If so, comment types and prices etc. please.
Breaking news! With the hot day we had on Saturday, and the early morning break from rain, the tiller was humming away. Mower too. We had to mow down the garden (last year's neglect), to start tilling where it was dry enough. Hubby got 3/4 of the larger tomato patch tilled, but it started to rain. Only a small portion of the large garden was mowed down.

Planting the garden, better weather, no rain and another motorcycle ride. A trip to the island.

It's a mess. Again. We had the grandkids over last night for a grill out. Thankfully, the rain stopped for that to happen. The colder, wet weather will keep me inside, so indoor cleaning will happen today.
From the camera. . .
Aurora watching the new cardinals make their nest in a tree just outside my study. They were making all kinds of rukus to scare off the cat. Super excited that we'll see baby cardinals. Oh, I won the battle with the chickadees too. They'd pack grass in outside next to an air conditioner, and I'd dig it out. In it went, out it went. So far, I've won. Oh, and our hummingbird is back. He/she was out getting dinner from my hanging plants last night.
I bit of porch cuteness.
The mailbox garden. Making progress.
New to the flower beds. Gorgeous begonias.
One of my simple pleasures . . .
A soak in the tub with essential oils.
