Remember the two hens setting together, well......

Here is their first hatched chick....

Their second......

Third.....

and this is #four. They still had half dozen eggs left to hatch,

but both want to be mamas. The six eggs they abandon are now

under our turkey hens! We are checking several times a day to

see if any hatch. If so then we'll give them to the two hens.

Experimenting with hot house tomatoes, so far

they look good and are blooming nicely.

Some seedlings and our early lettuce. The (forefront) pot

is a snake gourd, Cortney is growing in the hot house.

More tomato and cabbage seedlings at different stages, again

experimenting.

Remember the Pupa? Well we've been watching it

and now you can see the color pattern in the wings.

Sadly our camera just isn't good enough to pick that up.

We're storing this in the greenhouse covered with cheese cloth

and think we'll see a hawk moth soon! We'll post pictures before

we release it.

If you click on this photo and see the enlarged version, you can see

some of the changes we're talking about, you'll have to look though.

Today we're just setting water in the garden and yard. We mowed

and weed whacked yesterday from 10am- until 2:30 pm. Cortney

actually finished before me( I weed whacked the whole yard and

then some before mowing) so bless her heart she let the horse out

on pasture( for his two hours), bedded the cow barns, cleaned Mo's

corral and then made lunch for both of us, pizza.

Mike is supposed to be off this weekend, but unfortunately

it's end of the month, so inventory is done at the store and the

rule is that everyone does inventory! He'll be off by about noon

because we have to take Cortney into meet her youth group. They

will be spending the afternoon(1pm. to 6pm) paint balling( paintball

war). Mike asked her if she understood that it hurts when you are

hit and she said yes. She's been looking forward to this since Wens.

nights youth group meeting. Last week, she shared her testimony

with the group, and everyone thought she did a wonderful job,

she was so..... nervous. It helps them to understand the trials

she's already endured and the praises she has for God's work in her

life. Mike and I both take her today because the Youth group

leaders have changed and we have not met them yet.

I'm praying she has a wonderful time and yes, Mom has made

sure she has eye safety equipment, we don't want to take any

chances! *wink*

Praying your weekend is full of Blessings!
