It wasn't asked to...
but, my computer decided to crash earlier this week.
And, it didn't have the decency when it went to permanent sleep...
to save all my photos.
Sigh...
Last night was spent all hours into the wee morning...
working with a software to find all those ditched photos that went into hiding.
Hours...
and now that they are back in my computer...
it will take a few days to put them back in order and re-delete the ones that I deleted...
while keeping the ones that are worth the looking at.
In the meantime...
look who came to the farm the other day...
Sisters of the feathered kind.
A kind lady gave us two of her chicks...free!
Only, our ckicken coop isn't ready, yet.
So, we keep them in a fenced crop field...
and away from our dogs...
who want to eat them!
I think my work has doubled just getting a couple of future egg layers without a coop.
Until that coop is finished...
I'm giving reminderes with the urgent message...
my new hens need a safe home!
I haven't a clue as to what kind of chickens these are.
No one else seems to know...
they are...well...just chickens.
If anyone who is savvy enough to know...
I'm all ears to hear about them.
So...
while I am mulling over the problem of keeping my hens safe and used to their new home...
my new black pepper vine is put into it's new home.
Bet everyone out there except me knew black pepper grew on a vine.
That was a new one for me.
We went up into the country in the mountains to the government nursery...
and got us some new plants for the farm.
I was thrilled they have black pepper and vanilla plants.
But, the vanilla plant will be picked up later.
Getting true vanilla extract is almost impossible here and the beans are impossibly expensive to buy.
So, you can imagine my most pleasant surprise at finding out the nursery is growing them to sell.
Digging the hole and planting my first black pepper was a fun thing.
It will be trained to trail in a circle hanging from a Glory Cedar tree...
a tree favored by both the goats for their leaves...
and the honey bees for their flowers.
yeah...alright, Foxie...
go ahead and guard my black pepper vine.
"For God is the King of all the earth:
sing ye praises with understanding."
Psalms 47:7
Have a good day, or night.
