Spring? Winter? Sprinter?

 Another blustery day today, but it did warm up some. We have been going from 45 to 70 then back. It looks promising for the upcoming weekend. We have a lot planned around here. We are renting a small excavator to do some work on the old garden beds, pulling old pool deck posts out, plus anything else we can do. Our old beds are treated limber which requires replacing every five years or so. We are going to be buying the raised metal beds that have become popular. I have purchased some heavy duty fabric, like what is used under roads, to lay over the entire area where the beds are. We have bermuda wire grass and it is a giant pain to deal with.  


I think I have decided on these beds. They are 8' x 4' x 1' tall and gray in color. 10 should do the job. I also have to redo the water lines to these new beds. I also have to do some more work to finish the chicken coop. Yes, we have chickens. Seven Buff Orpingtons. No rooster, for which my neighbors are grateful. The girls give us about 4 eggs a day right now, which we save some and give the others away. 


I will end this short post with a view of the pups. I need to start the WOF of the Week. Sir Benjamin has definitely taken that post.



When I try to work from home.

2024 Happenings

 Well 2024 is upon me and I obviously haven't put in the time on this blog as I have should have. That changes this year. I've dumped Facebook for starters and only use Instagram for myself and Lady Matilda Mae and Benjamin. I have been visiting other sites and have been inspired by their commitment so I plan on the same. It is Thursday so I will have a larger post this weekend with photos and all.
