I have lots of dill but planted my cucumbers late so the dill and the cucumbers are going to ships that pass in the night.

I don't think that I've ever gotten my dill and my cucumbers to match up successfully.

I don't think the dill has to be fresh in order to work.

They're all a pretty turquoise color and she sings her heart out every time.

Annie's hip surgery yesterday, went well.

Sorry this is so late but I'm very glad all went well.

Yeah, I've just been lazy and haven't gotten it cut and hung in the garage/barn yet. GOT to do it today.

Wants to see!!

We already ate the first 2, and one of those was so tiny I was sure it had no yolk in it but it did.

And they were delicious!

Here's the last 3:

I don't think the color shows up well but they are lovely. She hasn't laid yet today but since she was just singing, she's thinking about it. The shells have all been nice and thick and the color is consistent so I must be feeding them right. Or she's a good hen.

Annie had PT today.. the technician said that she can drive her car again..
I got one thing crossed off of my to do list.
the grape arbor is finished.
two things to add to the list. Is this how it is supposed to work ?? have to take the hydraulic pump off of the tractor. and I have to repair a hydraulic hose for the power steering on the tractor.,, It has been leaking for some time.

No but it's usually what happens

I am working on the run for the new playhouse coop. All 4 sides are up, one corner to secure and the door needs to be hung. Then lash the wire over the top and make a skirt. Excited to get it done so the Seramas can go in.
This is where I put the new run, next to the Mille Fleur D'uccles on one side and the back side is up against the Old Turkey Run.

today I cut 6" out of the power steering hose and splice 8" of steel brake line in it's place. Had to use some WD40 to make the flanges go into the hoses, but they went. a hose clamp on each end and no more leak..
Then I pulled four pins and got the bucket off.
That will make it easier to get at the stuff we have to take off of the front.
Once I get that shaft out, I can use the tractor as a tractor. without a loader..
