Oh the surprise of it all!

One of the reason we liked this place was because of all the trees that were out here.  Some Pines, Cedars, Elms, along with an apricot, 3 Mulberry trees, an Honey Locust, A Chinese Lantern tree, 2 spirea bushes, 14-15 Lilacs in 3 colors and several others we still dont know what they are.

 Honey Locust tree
 Mulberry
 This is one of the unknown trees.  Looks like it is getting flowers on it also.


The ducks and turkeys are growing so fast. In another few weeks the turkeys will be in with the chickens. The turkeys are liking it up away from everyone else.  The 4 white ducks are just about all feathered out.  They are so pretty and the Welsh Harlequin are slow at getting their feathers but are getting really pretty also.  It does look like we will be having more males than females.
The grow outs in the rabbit barn are really getting big and fat.  They will only be with us for another few weeks and then the grow outs in the pen will take their place on the floor.  WE have nesting boxes in 7 cages right now with everyone due on the 12th. Going to be busy here if everyone has kits.
When we bought this place we were told that the land around us was leased out to ranchers for cattle. Well, they have arrived. Last night they wanted to know everything i was doing.
A few nights ago we had a few clouds and made for a really pretty picture.  This was taken looking NE from out house.

I haven getting some flowers planted. I have 2 Knock out Roses. One is looking very pretty.  The other is still trying .  Also planted 5 Blue Bonnets. There is also an Hollyhock coming up from the other people.

WEll , until next week.  Here is a pretty Sunset from early in the week.

  1. I haven't asked recently, do you still have the goats? Love the way everything is thriving and all the flowers you are putting in. The variety of tress is wonderful!
