Just harvested some of my rhubarb.

Not enough to make a pie so I did buy some at Shaws today.

So tomorrow is pie day. And fence day. My escape artist, Gosi, has been out several times this week. The neighbor put him back in the pasture twice on Thursday. I have the fence. The posts are in, with only a couple I need to dig up and add set in concrete and I have fence staples and cable ties to attach the fence. Then I can get to work on the dog fence. Hardest part will be building two gates for that.

it's not yet my birthday! supertaster test strips are things you put on your toungue and if its a little bit bitter, your a normal taster, if its really bitter, your a supertaster, if you don't taste anything your a non-taster.

Lazy gardener! Mother Earth News has a "win a flock of heritage chickens" contest. Ten Dominiques, donated by eFowl and grown as part of a collaborative effort between Seed Savers Exchange and The Livestock Conservancy. There's more, but I thought the Doms were the important part. www.motherearthnews.com/chicken-starter-kit

Our little barred chick is still breathing fast... even when sleeping. Makes me nervous as the 2 other chicks are with him. Anything I can do to help him? ??

I'm not sure. I worked really hard to keep our little cochin fed, watered, and comfortable while her breathing was so labored, and she ended up passing anyway. I would guess that all long as the temp is good, and you are making an effort to get food and water into her, that's all you can do.

Did you say his legs were splayed?
