It Was Worse Than Fog!

It's like being in a sandblaster!
Right after I snapped this photo, a car came zooming up our right!

Through the construction, we can see it clearing ahead...
We were thinking, if it was like this here, we could only imagine what
it will be like ahead through the sand dunes.
Happily, it was clear ahead.

She Moved Her Eggs...

Back at the beginning of April, when my granddaughter was bringing back fair gear, she was startled by this chicken nesting with three eggs, close to the water hose, on top of the platform for the doggy tub. A few days later she was moved down to under it. Then she was gone? I had no idea where she went. Never knew chickens moved eggs, so during our grandma day lunch she googled it. Yep, it's rare, but some have seen it. Wow, we have too!

The story doesn't end there.

Yesterday, while getting dressed, I kept hearing chirping. Upon investigating, I was attacked by this chicken! She came flying off the wall and at me. She then went into the tub. Yep, she had moved her eggs, and she's laid more, 13 in total! Six have hatched. I never looked in there because it had bamboo fencing on top of it, with scrap pipe holding it down. We deliberately laid it there so leaves wouldn't fill the tub during the fall. I guess she figured out how to get under it!

Now what? How will the babies get out? She won't let me near it at all!

Will keep you posted.

Pumpkins Galore!

I've thinned them out every day!
I have almost a dozen starters started.
Today the pumpkin gets removed and filled the rest of the way with soil.
I've buried it intact before, but the soil got too hot from the composting.
I wasn't thinking when I bought the tub about it getting hot.
It can be moved if needed.

Forty Years as a Mom!

Forty years ago everything was our first as husband and wife and as parents!

I must have retied that bow a hundred times!

Yes I did!

As did my daughter, and now the "Grand's."
The grandson asked if I would take him shopping for his mom.
Yes!
What a pleasure to plant the seeds within him how to shop for a woman.
And Dandy's was the perfect place to start!
These Christian ladies are awesome!
So is the store!

They're "Freaky Fast!"

If you have never been, you will need to check out the bathrooms!
Or google it!
