Granny's gone and done it again

Don't remember if I posted a picture of the big garden plot or not but I finished prepping it for planting this morning. The first row is planted and it is our long row of canning tomatoes. Working on a little tool to make it easy to plant getting seed spaced right so I get good stand with very little thinning. The only hard thing to plant will be the two rows of Fordhook Lima beans. I get to practice my crawling skills in my second childhood planting those. I've learned to do that when the sun gets lower in the evening. Going to eat then rest an hour. Then it's planting time. We are promised some clouds moving in for some shade. Be good and party up.
 
Done with lunch and resting. Been playing with some of the newly hatched chicks in the brooder. The oldest are about a week old and attack my hands pecking me like I'm edible. The have started chest bumping weeks early. I guess that is a sign they are off to a healthy start. Most of them are White American Bresse. Some Dark Cornish and some from my Honey girl pet who is sitting on 6 of her own eggs now. She's been on them all night and didn't want to get off and go out side this morning. She may be on them for the duration now. Hope so. She has her nest in a dog kennel out in the sun room on top of a banquet table we've used for plant starting. I'm putting a ramp on it and a small kiddie pool under the table with sand for her dirt bath and potty ground while she broods these eggs. When she hatches she goes to a hoop coop of her own. She is a very special girl that is my best buddy as a distraction from stressful things.

I have been following people that do eat salt you really need a lot when you are keto. I have made the salt water I will try it next time. I do love olives. I know dill pickles work also. Need to buy some more.

When I would have a weak day I would drink pickle juice for the electrolytes. Worked well.
 
By the time we finished the coop line it's late now. Going to eat a light supper and make a run to Lowes for much needed irrigation line parts and some groceries for us. Tomorrow is going to be cooler. Yeah, we pickle okra too. Never have onions yet. I got a lot done today so it has been productive. No naps. Should sleep tonight if I get my parts and don't think about needing them during the night tonight.
