Yesterday we finished planting the first round of corn, and only have a few plants left to get into the ground before we call the 1st planting DONE!  I’m so happy!  We have added some really great things this year including 3 new Apple trees and 2 Concord Grapevines.  These will be fantastic for us as apples & grapes are at the top of our favorite fruit lists.  Next week I’ll be taking the time to update our Gardens section of this site. Remember Blue’s Mystery Chix?  Well, here they are at 2 months old, aren’t they adorable?

They are living on the back porch on an open deck, with netting to keep them in, and they come into a dog crate at night to sleep in the roofed part of the porch.  It’s temporary as I have all but 1 of them up for sale.  Turns out the Blue is looking like a Blue Australorp really, not Blue Orpington and the Blacks also appear to be Australorps and would be carrying the blue gene.  This may very well be helpful to someone working on a Blue Australorp project.  We’ll see.
