Baby Birds~
The House Finches nested late this year and laid 5 eggs.
Has been a few weeks since I could check up on them
and they are basically feathered out.
Feel seriously guilty that I disturbed them.
And the Look I received.
Did put this little one back in the nest, the other 4,
lets just say did not need my help.

House and Garden ~
DH wanted to have a kitchen Garden this year.
So I grew out some starts for him.
I can no longer do anything in the garden but I did plant the starts, which about did me in.

Rather rustic but pleasing to look at.
Sunflowers are very cheerful...
will have to plant more next year.
Rosa Rugosas are about the only Rose I can grow that can handle the extremes in climate here. Growing them as a hedge to help protect the kitchen garden.
Looking through the potatoes to the Hay shed.
Various angles of the house and Garden.
Bought a few Pullets ~
As you know, I need a certain number of hens to
keep a tick free area
around the house and pastures.
Not up to raising chicks out right now,
like I would normally do.
So a local farm that has good stock, had some pullets for sale.
Should only take a week to get them used to the place and integrated with the main flock.
The red mottled ones are called ,"Calico Princess".

Never heard of that breed before.
Others are just Dark Brahmas.

I really want more Marans but that has to wait until
I can find some.
