Garden is Growing Great!

       Garlic has been harvested and I have some in the freezer, some hanging up and some in the dehydrator that I made into powder.
     I had some Cilantro growing where the garden was last year and after it had flowered and the seeds were ready to harvest I went out and harvested some of the Coriander Seed.  Working on getting the stems out of them .
     I have dehydrated some onions and have them in a jar in pieces that I can use the way they are for cooking or ground some up for powder. The rest of the onions in the garden are growing great and will be ready to come out soon.
     The peas, beans , corn, and everything else are blooming and should start seeing veggies soon.

     It's been hot here and everyone looks for the coolest place they can find during the heat of the day.   The chickens under the trees and the ducks in the pond or under a tree in the shade also.
     The rabbits outside usually stay in their holes in the ground. The ones in the Rabbit barn have fans on them and water bottles on the hottest days.
     I moved the littlest chicks out into the Chicken tractor. They love scratching in the ground.  They other chickens hang around them checking them out.  

     BamBam has been working hard out in the shop.  He has made several Shoulder holsters this past month along with some ankle holsters.and several other holsters and mag carriers.

     So many pretty flowers blooming out here at the Ranch. Lilies, Cosmos, Straw Flowers, Black Eyed Susan's, Roses and Bee Balm.

Until Next Week,

New Baby Kitty!

  
    Our Ranch kitty Betsey went into labor the other day.  We really thought she was going to have several baby's. She only had one.  Sure hope it is a boy.  We wanted several boys to have around to help keep the snakes under control.  Guess we may have to look for a few males somewhere.

     Fred has always loved playing in the pond.  even more so now that it has gotten hot.  He will just go stand in it.. If you throw a stick , he will fetch it and then just stay in the water.  Any time he is out running around with Brent or me, you have to watch him because he will run and get in it and then run up and shake on you.

     The outside rabbits are doing great. The babies are growing so fast and loving being outside.  There are so many holes out there on both sides that you have to watch were you walk.  Several of the holes have covers over them just to help some when it rains.  When it is hot outside the rabbits are either in their holes or under the shelters to get out of the sun.

     All the chickens , ducks, guinea's and turkeys are out and running now to help with the bug and critter control. The first set of baby's we hatched (16) are now out and running with everyone else now.  The second one's are on the floor in the cleaned and sanitized brooder room. There are 7 baby chicks and one baby guinea in there.

     Last week Heath brought Levi out to Memaw and Papaw's to feed the ducks at their pond.  He had so much fun.  Betsey came out to get some loving while we were out there feeding.   After feeding the ducks we took him to the barn to see the baby rabbits and he was able to pet Bugs.  

     I planted a new Knock Out Rose that I bought on our way back from Denton.  The Yellow Knock Out , The Double Hot pink Knock Out and the Light pink Knock Out are all doing great and have been blooming non stop.  I have one more rose that is an Oklahoma Rose that is really starting to grow now and I sure hope it blooms this year, even though it is small.
     The Black Eyed Susan I found blooming out in the field and my Water Lily has had 2 blooms on it so far this year.

Until next week, 
The 2 Moore's Ranch

This weeks sunsets.

A few extra pics from the week.

A fresh cut lawn is so nice.

     This was our first rattlesnake since being out here.  I had been working in the same flower bed getting the grass and weeds from behind the rose bushes where he was found.  Scared me to death.
