I still have my poison ivy it needs to go away soon. I will have to find some jewelweed thank you everyone for that bit of advice. I believe I got it from one of my animals since it is on the inside of both arms and behind my knee where they like to rub.
It has been a busy day replaced my peace rose with the same." A" had a DRS appointment. I have 100 pansies to plant that I got for $2. It seems to never end on the projects that I have going. I need to get pictures of my newly revamped barn that has 2 kidding stalls open sleep corral milk area and another possible kidding stall. I need to finish the front yard still before I take more pictures of it; here is a picture of my favorite flower other than my roses. Oh, I am also making another rose bed that will have 5 roses in it . ADVICE on which ones?

Hi Everyone,
I hope things have been going ok with you guys. I went outside today and found my yard flooded the #### water hose came apart. I haven't started any new projects really pulled up the monkey grass to make way for my new rose bed. I will be buying them on Wedensday, I still need to pull out the azealas and finish the front walk. I am trying to decide if I want to replace with pavers or just stone dust. Once I get those projects done I have a trip to California to take at the end of May. I will be bringing home my DD and my GDD and their two dogs . Her DH is coming home in September form the Marines and she wants to be settled before that and my GDD in school she will be 5 May 1st. I can not believe that she is that old already.
After my trip I will have a few more projects to do. I want a garden shed but not sure where to put it , we need to rebuild the back prch roof and will be putting two hydroponic systems in for lettuce and spinach so we can have greens all year round. Getting closer and closer to becoming food independant. I found a beef source that is reasonable. Now if I could get completely off the grid would be awesome.

Garden shed? HMMM. I have an idea for that one.... Right next to the Feed barn between the tractor port and the feed barn. Nudge the tractor port more towards the street. OR Next to the chicken coop facing the garden and move the bunnies out to the other side of the barn towards the back field. The garden is getting better and better every day.

It has been a busy week and the barn is looking pretty good. I really like the new kidding pens. Jelly Bean sure appreciated them.

You folks would NOT believe how fast AP's vegetable garden is growing! Or the goats.

I think Blitz will be any day now, I hope she is near boom and Bambi is due in 8 days; so now it is like who is going to first
I need to measure the width of the goat pen so I can split it in half for the boys.
My DD is moving home and I need a pen for her dogs a husky and great dane and my Grand Daughter. I am so excited she has been in California for four years.
