Nice cool day to start off

Morning to all, 

After all this heat we have been having, today it is 63 temp this morning. Love it, so nice even the dogs run and play. Rained yesterday and today it is cloudly. 

We got the yard fenced around the house now, a couple of weeks ago now which gives a nice feeling to know your pets are safe from roaming dogs in the neighborhood. Also helps keep some varmints at bey.

Our chickens are doing just fine and growing big. Hope to have eggs next year. Got some eggs from our neighbor yesterday, nothing like fresh eggs to eat. 

Spent yesterday working in the sewing room, still getting things cleaned up and put away. Just about ready to sit and sew some things again. 

Washed and clipped the dogs the last few days, seems to take me a lot longer to do them. But, even with all work and the time it takes, the dogs at least look like poodles. I tried letting a groomer do them, but as it turned out, she does not know how to groom a poodle. So it is best that I keep doing them. Even with my broken shoulder, it takes me one day to bathe and Vince helps by blowing them dry, then the next day I clip or sometimes they are so long in hair, I cut them down and clip when they are dirty so the bathing does not take so long. All in all not the way I was trained to do it but they at least do get clean and groomed to a point. Just can't do what I use to do.

Plan to work on my two quilts this fall and get them out to their new owners before Christmas.  This will be 3 years now in the making with the move and all. 

So that is about it for this time around folks, hope you are having a great day.

Love and Prayers,

Margo

Chicken move

Morning everyone, 

Yesterday we did our first move on the chicken pen, I will not drag that thing again, made my broken arm really hurt and is very sore today from doing that. Learned my lesson again.  But the chickens are happy. 

Rained hard with thunder and lightning. We needed the rain. 

Got yard all mowed and trimmed at one time, because we had a friend come and do it this time around. Lucky to have found him. 

Love and Prayers

New chicken home

Morning everyone, 

So today I got a pic of the chickens in their new pen until the end of summer, this fall the new shed will be done then a new pic of it altogether. 

They are getting bigger but still only half grown. But they are much happier now in larger pen. 

Love and Prayers

Chickens and Pen

Morning to all, 

We are going to attempt to put up our chicken pen today, got the stuff yesterday. It will keep the chickens until the shed gets here this fall. At least the chickens will know the surroundings as home. We also get the yard fenced this week, so they can at least then be able to free-range for real. They are growing so fast, need more room for them. 

Pics will follow when we get them all settled in. Of course, we will have to add chicken wire around the pen and top and then add sunshade cover and perch for them to get upon. 

Love and Prayers, 

Margo
