Hubby's buddy didn't get a deer. Dang. Haven't checked on garden yet or done animal chores. Waiting for coffeecake to come out of the oven.

Went out late to turn the misters off and feed the rabbits, turned around after turning off the water switch on the ground and THERE'S A RATTLESNAKE FOUR FEET FROM ME. I text hubby to come out asap and try to give it more space. It was curled up and I probably walked within 1-2 feet of it to...

Hubby says the bow hunting season starts tomorrow. He has a buddy coming over at the crack of dawn to hopefully get a buck. If he gets one, I'm tempted to make him catch the blood when he bleeds it out so I can spread it around the fence line.

This morning I was able to move 5 more plants and get them repotted too. I think there's at least 20 more plants to move, I'll try to do an actual count tomorrow while watering. Starting to run low on the large size pots. There's a bunch that need to be repotted but can stay in the same size...

Checked the garden again this evening. The grape now has no leaves at all, and there's a complete pumpkin plant missing. Several of the tomatoes look smaller. I'm never going to get any fruit at this rate. Good news is the squash leaves look bigger. Probably still going to get eaten by the dang...

The deer attacked again!!! Things were fine when I watered this morning, and now tonight the kiwi is missing most of its leaves, the grape has ONE leaf left, and one of the tomatoes still waiting to be planted has been chomped! I HATE DEER!!!!!!

It's hot today. Had Dr appointment, munchkin 2 is estimated in the 5 + pound range and is head down. Yay! Just a few more weeks to go!

Went into the office on Monday to say hi since it will likely be the last time they see me pre-baby. They admired my baby bump and scarfed the brownies I brought. I stopped by the in-laws on the way home after work for dinner and to visit SIL and niece who were visiting from Nevada. Munchkin 1...

LOL, and he escaped again yesterday morning. He was fighting his nap and hubby had left the baby gate open again because he was moving the saw from the back porch to the front yard so had to walk through the child zone, was almost to the gate but munchkin got there first and slammed it shut...

We've tried to point it out, but my brother doesn't appear to be listening yet. Maybe that's going to change soon, as the guy has been making more stupid decisions that will land him in jail or the morgue if he keeps on as he is going. Hopefully he won't hurt anyone else on the way. I did talk...

Not likely to happen unfortunately. I'm trying to stay out of it but it's hard. He's a grown adult, who's making stupid choices. He has always been very stubborn.

New milestone reached this morning: munchkin climbed out of the crib. Plus escaped the child zone since the gate wasn't closed. So he ran around the house and tried to get out of the front door. Thankfully he couldn't open it, but we'll have to come up with a plan. 14 more days of work after...

Fantastic job! I need to get hubby to show me how to drive the tractor again. We are currently renting my brother's tractor for a while since FIL borrowed hubby's tractor to work on their cabin property. Hubby's tractor is an old manual and I don't trust it. Brother's tractor is a nice newer...

I got most of my new bulbs planted this morning, hopefully they sprout. I'm excited to see the different types of canna lillies. I was able to repot two more plants and water everything. Then I got sidetracked moving some garden stuff from the shed to the new garden zone. I made a set of wire...

One egg this morning, hen still broody. I might buy chicks this weekend and stuff them under her after setting up a mini pen inside the big pen. Either that or finally get rid of one of the extra roosters and use his pen. If I do that Friday I can check to make sure she's still broody before I...

It's supposed to get over 100 degrees today, and the stupid blue hen has decided to go broody. I threw her off the nest yesterday and this morning, but I don't think she's stopping yet. She is also very pecky, but at least I'm used to that and didn't get nailed yet. She pecks hard. Good side of...

Double to hold munchkin 1 and munchkin 2. It's the kind that you can take the car seat and just snap it into place, so you don't have to wake up the baby by moving them from the car seat to stroller or back. The car seat snaps into a base that is strapped into the car, so again, you don't have...

Got 3 more plants moved to the new garden, all 3 will need to be repotted. We've been looking for a double stroller and finally found the right brand on FB marketplace, for a really good price. We didn't want to pay over $300 for brand new. We are getting it this morning.

They should be edible since I bought the elderberry cutting from a website that was selling food plants. Acorns have tannins in them, which I think are considered toxic instead of poisonous, but definitely need to be leached out before humans can eat them safely. I still have acorn flour I...

Got the Amish paste tomatoes, pink banana squash, and black zucchini planted late Tuesday. Need to figure out how I'm going to mulch all these rows, maybe I'll use newspaper and the half composted wood chips. I'm excited the garden is starting to look really nice. I have most of my plants...
