Blue-ish/Green eggs, plants, and a pregnant puppy.

The hen that lays the blue-ish/green eggs is having issues.  She is egg-pecking.  Every time she lays she turns right around and eats the egg and shell.  I have been able to get there in time to save a few but I have got to stop her from doing this because checking for eggs as often as I have been is getting tedious.  

The plants are growing great inside and its about time that they go be introduced to their permanent home.  Which means I have to get the garden ready... I have a lot of work ahead of me but I'm so excited!!!

Broccoli, arugula, tomatoes, and iceberg lettuce 

Ginger is due any day now!!! She is SO pregnant. We think she is only having two pups but for her little size, two may be one too many lol. These are just some pictures of her playing cat and mouse with a butterfly and then following me down to the pond.







Our new Z28

Pop and daddy bought this little beauty the other day and this was the end of the journey to its new home.  Having it towed home by the truck was a whole lot easier than them hauling it home themselves.  All it needs is a transmission to run (hopefully) and then a little TLC to make her pretty all the way around.  I cant wait to drive her!!! 

Pop talking to the nice man that brought it home for us. They are old friends but for the life of me I cant remember his name. 

Z28 Camero is apparently the correct term (according to daddy) just calling it a Camero is an insult to the owner, 

350 engine....I actually learned something lol :)

Chickies :)





Its Chick Days at Tractor Supply!!! I brought home 8 of these little cuties today. I am so excited to have them. They are having to stay in my bathroom cause its safe and I can regulate the temperature but oh my goodness its so hot if you stay in there for too long.  I don't see how those little puffballs need that much heat.  For me having these little guys is like bringing home a newborn, I can't wait to here them peep and chirp all night <3

Adventure...




Nana and I went to cut down some bamboo on an old back road near our house to stake up some blueberry trees we planted and on the way back we came across an old grave site.  It is also where a big revival took place with over 1000 people in attendance.  We just thought it was the neatest thing ever!!

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle :)


I was walkin' out behind the house the other day lookin' for some things I could use in the garden and I came across what I thought were old desk drawers, come to find out they were old bee boxes... anyhow, I thought they would be perfect for little raised beds in areas where I didn't have much room to put anything.  They are working out perfectly!!!

Fishin' with my buddy :)

Michael and I went fishin' Monday and despite my best effort to show off and catch more than he did... he ended up catchin' 2.  I unfortunately didn't catch any :( He made me feel better by tellin' me it was Yankee luck.  Check out this fish though... ITS A MONSTER!!!

RANDOM AND RUSTIC...





I was just walking around the property the other day with my camera and thought these would be some cute shots.
