Summer 2015

I want to plant a little garden with you now
Take care of a piece of the earth somehow
And tend it when we're old and gray and
Try to straighten up and say, well,
I'm so glad to see you today
Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey 
(Greg Brown lyrics to Hey Baby Hey)

The chickens are reproducing like bunnies! This time we only gave the broody hen 2 eggs to sit on (since all 4 hatched last time). Sure enough - both eggs turned into little chicks on June 24. We now have 3 different ages of chickens - and the initial batch isn't even a year old yet!

So of course a bigger coop was needed. Fortunately Sara is a handy gal.  Our pal Trish came helped too. They decided to call themselves Close Enough Construction.

Frey loves his new digs and feels like a real king!

But this is Nammah's blog and SHE is certainly in reproduction mode as a well! Everything was planted by June 13.  It felt late given the nice weather earlier. But frost visited twice the first week of June. 

A new red bistro set allows us to have our morning coffee while we watch her grow
Now we water, weed and wait! It's a good thing we have a sweet place to hang out! We are blessed with abundance!!
As Sara and I celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary on the very day the US Supreme Court declared same sex marriage legal in all 50 states-
Even Frey is celebrating!
You get to me like old time religion did
In my heart when I was a kid
You're sweet gospel music to my ears
You know how to ease all my fears
And from my heart to yours all I can say is
Hey baby hey baby hey baby hey
