Summer Lovin

July has been so much fun :) We've been enjoying backyard camp outs, baseball games, carnivals, bike rides and lots of swimming.

I've been slacking with the yard chores but that's OK.

Until next time.........

Summer Vacation

Someone is pretty excited about their Summer Vacation :)

Backyard fun

In April, Jake's third grade class received cabbage plants. Jake's been tending to his cabbage in hopes to receive a prize for the largest cabbage! Wish him luck :)

All the neighborhood kids are sure having fun with the new girls in town.

I've been freezing strawberries from our little patch almost everyday! These frozen berries sure come in handy for smoothies. I also freeze lots of bananas ---makes smoothie making so much easier :)

Not camera shy today!

I sure hope the gals don't discover I planted a few wild flower seeds in there!

Maude and Jake.

Lots of purple around our garden gate. I also like to plant Cosmos and Petunias and tuck them in here and there. Pink, white and purple.....a few of my favorite colors for the garden :)

Smore makin :) I love our new spot for the fire pit!

More neighborhood kids enjoying the chickens.

These two have been busy making sure the chicken run is clean. Jake has been filling their food and water containers and keeping the girls very happy. 

The chickens favorite occasional treat is Strawberries. I save the girls a few when I'm freezing them for my smoothies.

What we've learned so far.

It seems no matter how many times we fill and clean their water and food, they somehow always manage in minutes to kick dirt and pine shavings in it.

I've got my eye on one of the galvanized food and water feeders that you can hang. Hopefully this will solve the problem :)

Wishing you a Fabulous Beautiful Weekend!

Fun in the garden

 

We've been keeping busy in our backyard with lots of gardening. It always seems to help clear my head and I love it when things start coming together.

The last few years I strayed away a bit from all the yard chores. I really did miss it, but just needed a break. Especially when it gets so hot here in Utah during the summer months. We've had lots of great weather and now we're getting tons of rain---which is such a GOOD thing!

We're getting the chicken coop planning finished and our gals are almost ready to move into their new home.

We can't wait!

Wishing you a beautiful week! xo

Farmland

 

I absolutely fell in LOVE with these horses on our walk.

 

I'm pretty sure Maisey did too.

I was thinking. Maybe we should move to a Farm. Then I could have a horse?

Dan said.....No. I mean NO!

But it's all good.....cuz he said we could have Chickens. Finally! (after years of pretty please).

Happy Trails!
