Dew Out on the Weeds!

 Dew Out on the Weeds!

 

Yes, roses appreciate the dew as much as the grass does, but since the yard is mostly weeds this year, that is where the dew is. Saw something online in Wichita Whispers about everyone’s yard being full of weeds. No sense in killing the weeds if they are the happiest things growing out there. Who knows? We might need to figure out which ones are edible.

 

It's off to Sutherland’s here in a minute to get some sacks of soil to put around the green house. Either the oats or the wheat is sprouting inside on the floor, so pretty soon the littles will have something to nibble on when they get big enough to release inside the green house out of their chick coop. Jerry Hobbs did an excellent job of building that coop. Some days he is really missed on this old hill, but would not want him instead of the new neighbors in his house. Number 8 has really perked up and taken on a personality. So glad that Sandy and Clint Robertson live there.

 

Whew! A shower was desperately needed for a while now, but was waiting until one of the Robertson family members dropped by to bring some things for a gathering they are having in a couple of days. Always kinda nice to be a go-between when it is something pretty. Anyway, finally got the shower and feel MUCH better now! [Can’t remember the commercial that MUCH Better went with. . .]

 

Stephen came and moved all the soil sacks for me. Of course, by the time he was paid and the soil was paid for, it was slightly expensive, but such is life when a body gets too danged old to do stuff for one’s self. Then went back to TSC and got hen pellets and chick feed along with a bag of chick grit. Have to have that stuff to keep the chicks from choking on the feed. Out in nature, they would pick up little bits of sand and rock when they pecked around on the ground, but putting them in a place without dirt changes that situation completely.

 

Looks as if we might get more rain this evening. Not griping about that by a long shot. This morning the dew was so heavy it was almost like a good rain had been on the grass. In fact, thought we had had rain because the stair rails were wet on the deck.

 

Planted ONE flower out in the front flower bed. Just one. Sometimes it makes me feel as if it is cheating to plant flowers that are already blooming. But seeds don’t always make it around here. Did plant some dill seeds in the back next to the house and have just decided to hope that the hens don’t eat everything that might come up. And if they do, oh well. Life goes on.

 

Don’t know anything at all worth chewing on. The world keeps wobbling around in its orbit, and none of us can change much of anything except our own attitudes. While we work on attitude, we need to remember that God has given us His love. Let us share it as much as possible in His name.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
