Beautiful pics!! Thanks for sharing them with us..

Things are starting to green up here, but now they are predicting snow for us this week.

I love the picture of Dusty!

He is a sweet heart! He loves gummy worms. He has been enjoying the sunny days after all the rain. Hope the snow is not too bad and is gone soon.

keljonma When we lived in Texas, many homes were awash with different colored azaelas - just beautiful!

I love them!! We have a few different colors but I would love to add some more.

The strangest thing happened today! I was sitting outside relaxing and watching the chickens when out of the corner of my eye I seen what I thought was a large roo in the field. When I turned around and looked it was a beautiful white/brown turkey!!!!!!!

Sadly the dogs barked and scared her off before I could get a picture!! But I have heard her all day so maybe I will see her again.

Someone on BYC said seeing a turkey meant good luck according to Indian beliefs. Well about 2 hours later I get a phone call about a tiller that I desperatley need but can not afford.

The lady had heard I was looking for one and had one she could no longer use due to a injury to her arm. It is a 1 1/2 years old and is the same exact model that I wanted and she wants less than 1/2 the orig. price!! She only ran it for her garden in the spring and once in the fall. She said she did have it maintenanced and has all the logs and paperwork on it!! I am soooo excited!! We will be getting it next week!


Finally I will have a Troybilt tiller like I have wanted for so long!!!

Was it the turkey that brought me good luck? But I will take it.

I love the pictures of your creatures.

I'd call it a blessing from the Lord God! Just this past month I thought about how I wanted to do a garden and I had no roto tiller. We don't even have a truck to rent one. Then a neighbor popped by one day and had rented one and asked if we wanted to use the balance of his rental time. That what such a provision. Totally unexpected! But needed.

So what are you going to plant?

The Big Man.is definately looking out for you!

Congrats!!

So, whatcha plantin'?

 

[Patch of Heaven Farm]

The chick is all the way out and is now sleeping!! We have been watching it for hours now. The kids have been enjoying it!! Sadly house work has been neglected today. But oh well we can always do that later. Not everyday you can watch a chick work so hard to hatch or as my 5 yo says the chick is cracking.
