Bird Netting going up ~
DH and DS put up knotted game bird netting over two of the chicken runs...... Not pretty but it works. High enough I can walk under it without issues.
Major load off.
Above is the main pullet Bantam shed.
Couple more pens to go.
Thinking I want to plant some Service Berries and such in one area of the pens.

So they can have snacks and shade.
Local nursery has 50 to 90% off plants in Oct.
Got the pretty Jasmine that is doing well, during that sale. Only cost me $3.00!!
Below is the new Hen house.

The Tomato and Pepper Experiment~
As you know, I had some issues with the horse manure
compost a few years ago.
So DH and I decided to do a small test run and see how things were going.
Put them in a couple of pots near the kitchen door.
The Pepper plant is doing pretty well.

The Tomato plant.......
seems to be trying to Die and Live at the same time.
Slight improvement over the past couple of years.

Air and Space Museum DC ~
Yesterday, we went to DC... and now I remember why we don't go up there unless it is a Holiday.
Found a parking place
on the street right next to the museum we were going to. Normally it cost $22.00 to park, but on the street.. only $4.60!!

Was very interesting, the areas that used to be grass, are now food gardens for the people that live there. The Pres Wife has done a lot to get food gardens growing all over DC.
Very cool.
Neat to see the Enterprise model.. ....
but folks in the museum were packed in like sardines.
Walked as much as I could, about an hour and then had to quit.
If it wasn't so hot out... would of gone to the stunning Botanical gardens they have.

Could of used a wheel chair, as there
weren't a lot of people.
Ah well.. next time.
