New Chicks, Again!

The latest edition to the chicken population arrived a week ago, and the still hid under momma chicken!
 They aren't so shy that they can't take a peep, I mean peek!

Wow, 2 Months what a slacker!

 I just noticed I haven't posted anything in 2 months, I knew I was busy, but I didn't think I was that busy! 
We have been fixin hog pens, fixin water issues, mostly fixin stuff!  Garden did really well this year, the fall garden, not as well but its getting that way, we still haven't had enough rain since the last time the burn ban was on.  So in the interest of no real subject for a post, how bout some more pixs?!  Glad ypou asked lol.


 

Hope you'll bear with me , more to come I swear , see ya next time!

No Rain...Wait , What?

 I was about to write a little about the long stretch of rainless weather we have had, and on the way home I saw this sign that the county put up last Friday.

 So I'm about to tell you how hot it is and what do I see, look there in the back ground, stormclouds! Yep it's gettin dark on the horizon.

So after I was gonna tell you of the 100 + degrees heat indexes we have had for weeks now, it's gonna start raining!!  Can you believe it?!?! 

It rained for about two hours, nothing big, just a slow steady rain... just what we needed!
I guess I should keep writing about the heat, maybe we'll get some more!

Never Any Spare Time On The Farm.

 With the garden going full tilt this year and all the canning and that I haven't had too much time to post, and that is still the case, so instead a picture montage for your viewing pleasure!
 My sister got a nice DSLR camera a while back and she lets me use it now and again, until I can get one of my own! I took some Photography back in high school, but that don't make me Ansel Adams then does it??  lol!

So tell me what you think, go ahead, I can take it!!  And Enjoy!

Well there you go, and I will see ya soon !

Pickin and Canning!

Just so you don't think I'm slackin, we have been busy in the garden for the last month or so picking all manner of goodness. This week I wanted ya'll to see some of the final product.

This is just a sample, my last entry showed the purple hull peas, we also got a good deal of corn, and the cucumbers are rolling in too.  the top shelf is a load of canning we did, jalapeno jelly, pickled banana peppers, dill pickles and what-have-you!

The tomatoes are mostly green because of a chicken massacre, the tomatoes got it, not the chickens...
So in order to salvage some of this round we had to pick em greenish, that's ok chow chow, fried green tomatoes, relish, you get the idea!

Here you can see a boat load of cucumbers, some strait neck squash, green bell peppers, oh and that butternut squash, my nephew Gavin picked that one, he was on a pickin roll!

So anyway that's where we have been, its tough work makin your own way thru life, eatin of the fatta the land, but we like it.

See ya Later
