Snowflake had twins
a Jack and Jill set
as usual, the kids are too cute
and everything went all right...
we're so glad
well...
Darla dear, (on the left) decided it was time she thought about kids
and she had a little talk about it with Phillip, the ram
of course, Phillip was only too obliging...
and in the next five months...
Darla should show just how many kids she will give us
the mama hens have all been busy giving lessons about the bugs, dirt baths...
and sunbathing
and have now weaned their puffballs into pullets and cockerels
we have harvested a nice little bit of butternut squash
our sorrel is now ready to start harvesting
the okra has done quite nicely
and we are using both to feed ourselves
we still have the sweet corn coming along
our red cabbage is showing promises of more food in the kitchen
the eggplant has been flowering wonderfully
and I planted wingbeans in the corner of my herb garden
but the real news is...
while the creek is low now...
it was much too high to cross during the week long rains we had
and as scary as it was...
I had to cross that narrow beam on the half finished bridge
the beam at 12 inches wide and 20 feet high isn't so secure looking...
when the risen creek below has turned into a raging river below
with nothing to hold onto and nothing to grab should one slip...
it was a little intimidating...
but I got a helping hand from one of the bridge workers who guided me...
and got me across safely
by the time I took these photos...
the creek had gone down and calmed down considerably
after so much rain and water...
it was nice to see blue skies again
May your day or night find sunshine in the grace of the Lord.
