Arbor and other summer work

The arbor is almost completed.  Swinging gates, shingles, and add some potted flowers... hooray.. it is even better then the photo we had saved so many years ago!!

The gardens are finally planted, we can hardly wait for the first produce to harvest. Rhubarb has been super and we have enjoyed rhubarb muffins, coffee cake, torte, and of course.. pie.  No home garden strawberries this year, but great plans for a new strawberry bed to get planted this summer.

Donya, our chicken wrangeler, has managed to hatch out 4 batches of 'silky' babies. Mostly because we did not gather the eggs for her while she was on vacation, and 4 of her hens sat on a clutch of eggs. Thank you very much, she said to us... because you can not eat anything you name. You guessed it, she names everything.

Life is good, down on the farm.....
