jacket weather, respite garden, birdhouse gourds, preparing to show

It's been quite cool here, and windy, BUT mostly sunshine. Woke up to 37 degrees this morning.

When we are home and the weather is good, our goats (the females and wethers) and poultry freely wander around the 30 acres.


The 6 kids.


Clarence and Mama Clara


I planted Birdhouse Gourds in here.


We've been working on my Respite Garden, will be an ongoing project for years, getting all sorts of bushes and perennials planted in here.

You've got a regular kindergarten going there, with that pack o'kids.

I guess Dud is really excited about the show, hee hee!

Don't know when you're going, but good luck to you and the four-footeds. Hope the new trailer makes it super easy.

Hey, I got some gourd seeds from Anna at Chickens in the Basement, but I've never grown them before. Are they a pole vine?
