Loving Summer

I am in love with summer. This year I have actually had time to weed my garden beds and play in the yard. I am loving the little oasis we are creating on the south side of our house. It's so sweet

I love going out in my yard in the morning and watering, listening to all my animals waking up --the four legged variety. The boys are usually still snoozing in bed leaving me in peace with my thoughts.

I should be getting some photos on here soon --I am hoping to entice some people to come see me--(HINT HINT)

The birds have got to go !!

Seriously --we all know I love my birds--they are wildly entertaining and save us from nasty ticks, spiders and snakes that are abundant where we live--

At present time I have 25 Rhode island red chicks and five ducks living in my bath room --all of them are under a week old--so they are tiny and relatively quiet--but with each passing day the dull roar of cheeping commences at 4 AM--
So why would I keep them in the house in the first place--Before you can start a new flock you have to clean your coop completely --kinda like washing a baby bottle --you want everything nice and clean when you have new babies---
THE WIND HAS BEEN SO BLASTING bad up here --I can't get the coop cleaned out with out swallowing pounds of pine shavings --or getting them in my eyes--literally it's so bad that even with sun glasses on and a bandanna around my face I am eating dust--

So there the birds sit in my bathroom --On set in the garden tub (why do they call it a garden tub anyway?) and the other in my shower---thank GOD the boys have a bathroom or I wouldn't be showering these days--

On the plus side the bad weather has given me time to clean the kitchen --get caught up on laundry and bake cookies for my hubby's care package--Oh yes we just found out he will be rejoining us in DECEMBER!! That's right SNOWY TIME!! Feels like a long time now --but I know it will pass fast--It always does--
Okay high five me---do a little dance--I have blogged more than once this month--For me this is like losing weight--Killing me!! --But I love reading everyone Else's so much --I figure it's the least I can do to return the favor!!

No birthdays

Hence no blog--I have pictures, I have thoughts, I just haven't taken the time to do this--SO I ask--how do you find the time to blog---? How do you make sure you do it with style? I am going to go ponder these thoughts in my yard--just to avoid blogging--haha
