This Wonderful Week on the Ranch !!!



     The Black Eyed Peas have been producing nicely.  I have picked from them so far 3 times.  As long as I can keep them water as they need, we should have plenty to last us for the winter months.  Every night when I go out to feed and water I see more and more blooms on the plants. I took the pic. of the bloom with the water  droplets on it and thought it was so pretty.






       Now , if the Green Beans and the Lima Beans would start putting of pods.  I see plenty of blooms on them , but no beans yet. 
 :(


     I have picked 3 Cucumbers so far and am going to start making Dill Pickles for Brent and can any leftover liquid for future use.

     
      I found one Watermelon last night.  Also checked on the Pumpkin to see how it was doing.  There are a lot of little ones and one fairly large one.





     Of the four Bell Pepper plants I planted, I have one so far.  They were planted for the rabbits.  I sure hope they start doing better.


      The outside rabbits are getting so big, and some of them are literally outside.  The boys have found ways to get out of their yard.  We put nine out there. We have seen at least four white ones and two brown ones out running around.  They will be right up by the house.  As for water, they go to the pond for water and have all the grass and weeds to eat that they want.  There is plenty of places to hide and to get out of the shade.  When you see them and they start running, they will run right back to where they got out at.


     Look close and you will see bunny ears in the middle of the pic.


     The girls know they have it pretty good. They have rye grass growing in their pen and at night they get fresh cut greens to eat.  We just count to make sure there is 15 in there and no more.


     Yellow, Pinks, Orange's, with brown and green.  The wild flowers are putting on a great show in the back yard.  I just wish I had planted some in the front yard.  Oh  well.  The front yard has beauty of it's own with Hosta's and other green pretty plants.



     The Crape Myrtles are starting to bloom.  Light pink and dark pinks.  They are just so pretty and I love them so much.




     We have been so dry here , that last week Brent got out and mowed down all the tall Prairie Grass just to be on the safe side.  Robin got out there and would walk back and forth with him.    It looks so pretty , but different out there now.






     This is the nest of our broody hen.  Out of the eight eggs , all but three where not good.  They were also all guinea eggs,  She is still sitting on the nest , plus a few more guinea eggs have been added from a guinea laying it's eggs there when the hen gets up.


     The chicken's are back to running all over the property and up on the porch also.  Sunny posed for this pick with the flowers behind him.


     The eight baby chicken's and the one baby guinea from the chicken tractor are out running around.   They run and flap their wings trying to fly. They are so cute and are trying to get along with the older chicken's.
