Days "Off"

Monday and Tuesday are my days off from my mundane job. So we do alot of living on those 2 days....

Aquaponic update

Tilapia are hard to come by. So we got goldfish instead. Aclimated them to the barrel and they have a new home. We have 1 little tomato plant in the grow bed. Now we can plant the rest.

Chick update

They are growing sooooo fast. They took to their new home very quickly. We have the heat lamp fixed up out there and they cuddle up at night. They use the ramp and love their perch.

Kyle update

My youngest son took a trip to Florida to see his brother and sister. We picked him up at the airport today. He will spend a couple of days with us.

Around the yard update

Dragonflies and butterflies are out. Mourning doves visit regularly. All the birds will be glad when the sunflowers bloom.

Sugar update

She is still cute and adorable. If I have my camera in hand, there are always new pictures snapped!

Have a great day! Your Friend -- Christina

Poetry Contribution!

Now I don't know much about poetry. A blog friend does much poetry. She has inspired me. Visit her blog CraftyGreenPoet for a real treat.

Green Skys

As I peer

Far and near

Through the clear green sky

In this early morn

The traffic is little

The Orange rings

Around the triple moons

Shine brightly

I smile

I thought and thought and thought, then I thought some more.

I really am poetry ignorant. I need to research. So much I want to do--not enough time.

So Scifaiku, maybe not, but this is my contribution to Science Fiction Poetry challenge!

Ps.... I am having fun!

Gardening on the Homestead... Growing Challenge update

Time goes by so very quickly!

The sunflower starts planted and growing nicely in front of the porch.

The birds will love them when they get nice and tall!

We are fortunate here... we can grow collards all year long

These are just a few Georgia collards, already harvested leaves for a great meal!

OMY! The Strawberries!

We have probably harvested (and eaten) 10 quarts already.

Tons of berries still ripening!

The ferns have gorgeous fronds this year!

If any one is interested, visit Ebay.Little bitty, teeny tiny, brand new grapes!

Thanks to who visit! I enjoy your comments and meeting you!
