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.

Westmoreland Beach ~
Went to the Westmoreland park Potomic river beach yesterday.
Was not able to walk long but I did enjoy the time there.
Nice to drive down a steep hill and loved the trees.
Not used to how muddy the Rivers are here.

Indian Fantails ~
As you know, when I was first having breathing issues, was recommended by one of the doctors, that I re home my birds. Not knowing what was going on, I did.
Fast forward to now, with all the tests coming up Neg, I decided to have some Indian Fantails again.
All hens, and do not plan on raising them any more.
Love watching them in their outside flight cage.
The Silver hen's tail was cut by the breeder I bought
them from, will grow back in time.
