 Alright! So we talked about it for years and we always told ourselves we would be getting a farm, that did not happen. But we did still get the chickens!!!  While I am sooo late in writing this, like 5 months later, the chickens are amazing! We originally bought four chicks. All females. Well at this point we still have all four hens! They have been laying eggs for a few months. They did great thru the hot summer here!   We named them some odd names. Well kind of like food names . Nugget, meatball, dumpling and squeakers (she is quite loud!) The kids love the chickens! They are so sweet and Logan loves to hold them! Rosella, well she is a bit timid with them but she loves them as well. We let them out of their coup to wander the grass for a bit when we can.

We have also talked about expanding the garden a bit. More or less probably on the side oft he house when the summer is over and it begins to cool down a bit since summers here in AZ get so hot. But that is a plan for a few more months out! But none the less I am excited!! The watermelon seeds that we planted, did not sprout. I tried to germinate some more and get those to sprout but those also failed. So there went any hope to grow watermelon at this time. The kids were a bit sad as they love watermelons. The cayenne pepper seeds also did not sprout. But that was alright since we had a few other types of pepper plant already in the garden.  For the other two seed types, cantaloupe and pumpkin, they have sprouted and been transplanted! We did take one pumpkin casualty of the two I kept. I transplanted ...
