Our very busy day

There is no rest for the wicked on the Huntington homestead today. First we have Chuck and Hannah replacing the liner in the pool before the next thunderstorm hits. 

And I need to weed the gardens and stake the tomatoes. All this rain is good, for the weeds. 

I'm busy lining some purses I made for the shop, crocheting toys for little Quintin, then I had the great idea to make some strawberry jam. 

And with all this going on I'm babysitting Owen and V for Amanda, AND my friends will be dropping off their 2 little kids to stay with us for a while due to a death in their family.  It is making for a crazy day, but I'm glad we can help our friends at this time, even in this small way   So, how is your weekend shaping up?

Be Blessed,

Today's discoveries

Look what I found today at our local antiques shop.

This is what you might call a red neck hillbilly china cabinet. Definety hand made.  And there are no words for this next item. 

Please be kind. Remember, this is a family friendly blog. (I laughed so hard when I saw this I almost cried).  For those who don't know, this is (I think) a feeder for a baby calf. :0)

I now have a poop deck!

My baby hens are growing by leaps and bounds every day.  And for the past week, they have decided that they like my back porch more then their own coop.  In fact, one day I was at the kitchen sink washing dishes, and I looked up, and there was a chicken looking at me through the window.
Scared me half to death! hahaha.  So I went out and took some pictures.

Now every night, after dusk, I pick up one of the hens, and walk to their coop, and the rest follow me.  Chuck says it's time to put chicken wire around railing, or we will have a "poop deck". LOL

Be blessed,

My babies are getting big

I sat, staring at my computer screen this morning, trying to figure out something to blog about, and I couldn't think of a thing. So I got up and went outside to let the chickens out. Then it hit me just how big they have gotten, so I grabbed my phone to take some pictures. Tonight I'm going to try and take a video of my ducks ( who thinks they are chickens) as they follow the chicks and climb into the coop and try to sit on the perch. They keep falling off and it is too funny.

The photos aren't the best, I used my phone, and they kept moving. lol  But the are cute. :0)

Be blessed,

The Garden Is In

Well, we all pulled together and got all 10 flats of veggies in the ground. Good work troops. Now it's off to church. And forgive the finger in the photo, but I wanted y'all to see our supervisor hard at work. LOL

We're free!

Yesterday we let the baby chicks out of the coop. They were very hesitant and ran back in as soon as the hens came to investigate. So today we left the hens in their coop and I left the door open for the babies while I filled their water. Once one came out, it didn't take long for the rest to follow. The old ladies aren't happy. They are hollering up a storm at not getting out.
