A Summer Evening ....

...On The Homestead

It was a lovely Saturday evening, I got home from work.
Sugar and I went out to talk to the chickens.

We decided that is was a lovely day for a walk about the garden.

We stopped and admired the sunflowers.
We noted how big the rape seed and sweet potatoes were.
.
The gourds are going to make some beautiful bird houses.
Then we noticed some critters on the basil and lettuce.
OMY!


Then it was time for dinner.

The coals were lit and the steaks put on the fire.
Then what did we see.....

are those grey clouds rolling in very fast?
The steaks ... what will happen?

Just grab an umbrella and keep on cookin'!
MMMMMM yummy!


Hope y'all have a great night!

Happy July 1st!

Around the homestead....

The farmer came and cut the winter rye fields adjacent to us to day. He really kicked up a good bit of dust. Sugar didn't like him messing around so close and was on guard all day!

After the garlic harvest, we needed a ground cover, so my sweetie planted rape seed. Boy, did it germinate fast. I love the gourds. The aquaponics is still turning out great lettuce, even in this heat. The last lonely strawberry flower in a bed of sun scorched plants! Poor thing!

My chicks....

They are still hillareous! That is Hilda on the left. Wings out, ready to leap of the roost. She is such a show off. The Bared Rocks are really pretty. All of them are growing so fast. And Stew(Stud), the rooster, likes to strut his stuff. I heard his first crow Sunday morning. The nine chicks we started with are still with us. 8 hens and 1 rooster... I expected more roosters. I feel we will probably get more eggs than what we know what to do with. Egg recipies anyone?

Did I ever tell you that I love sunflowers?

What would a summer post be with out my beautiful sunflowers!
