Feed, Fertilizer & First Aid


Above is a picture of our dog Daisy. She is covered with flower/weed debris after chasing peacocks in the grove. Isn't she cute? She looks like she is smiling.

Yesterday was another interesting and eventful day on the homeschool homestead. Not much homeschooling happened on this homestead. The boys had a First Aid/CPR class in order to renew their certificates -- good to know that someone could save me - if they really wanted to!

Donald is trying to be helpful and keep busy, so he decided to tear out a couple of flower beds - I ask for trimming and cleaning up - I get a whole new nursery in my backyard - and a huge mess! He means well.

Our poor little chickens were on a diet for a day. Well, not really, we just had a limited amount of feed left, so we gave them tons of weeds and veggies. Anyway, they thought they were starving. Around dinner time, I remembered and I skidded into the feed store just as they were closing and was able to buy some more food for them. Tulip practically jumped into the food bin when I came in to feed everyone. They are eating so much lately, we're thinking that we need to thin the crop a bit - ie, reducing the non-producers. eek!

J and I are off to the coffee shop to have our weekly coffee/history time together before going to ballet.

We will try to add a couple of posts that have more pictures attached. Due to our lack of modern technology at the homestead, we can only add pictures when we are working on the lap top in town - thank goodness for Wi-Fi!
