Sunday

wow- I haven't accomplished as much as I have in the past 2 days in the past 4 months!  The weather is so nice and we have been working outside all weekend.

Yesterday morning we went to Weaubleau and bought 27 baby Barred Rocks!  They are so cute and adorable.  I have never raised baby chicks and I can't believe how messy they are!  They are so piggy too!  They have ate 3 feeders of food and drank 3 quarts of water!  sheesh!  We have them on the backporch right now and Cooper spends most of his time out there (when he is in the house that is )

When we got home from Weaubleau, we put the chickies in the dog crate and then wrapped the crate with Chicken wire.  I am using puppy pads for the floor (on top of pastic tray that easily slides out).  Chris now needs to get to work on building the outdoor chicken coop!

After we got the chicks settled, we started on our beds outside.  Chris can get free rock from the new quarry down the road, so Friday he brought me 4 ton of pea gravel. Mom is planning a new creation in front of her house and gave me all of her old edgers.- total score.  We did these:

We also mowed the yard and cleaned up.  We had the SWMATPA meeting at 6, so we didn't have enough time to work on the tree bed.

Today we went to church, and after Church we went to Pizza Hut in Buffalo to eat.  Mom and Dad and Granny went to.  It was a fun time.  We stopped by Buffalo Walmart on the way home and I bought some Marigolds and a few things for Chris' trip this weekend.  When we got home Chris went over to Dad and Mom's to play with the square baler- I was told don't ask about how that went. lol I take it not good.  While he was gone I made another flower bed.

Later Chris got home and we planted garden.  We planted a row of Onions, a row and half of Spinach, and a row of green beans.  I hope everything comes up okay.  This is the earliest in the pst 3 years that we have gotten the garden out.  I am so excited!

I made breaksfast for supper tonight-for Chris and Cooper that is.  I made them a pound of Bacon, eggs, and oven fried potatoes and onions.  Cooper also ate a small bowl of corn flakes.  I had a spinach salad with FF Itailian dressing.  It was really good.

Friday evening Cooper, Sophia, and I took a little walk into the woods behind the hog lots...now calf lots. (there hasn't bee hogs in there since '94 but they will always be called the Hog Lots lol!) I took my camera and took a few pics.  Our weaned Holsteins are in that lot, along with Cooper's Heifer.
