our memorial day weekend

I worked the kids camped...  when they came home tony got his new toy!  He's in love and the dog and the chickens liked it too!

uh oh!

What have we been up to well, sadly it hasn't been cooking seems everything is on the fly lately as happens this time of year.
My birthday was good to me, Blinky went to Mutty Paws , with Almost Home Rescue the first week of may,  as was mothers day!

The Day before mothers day we got a puppy from FETCHING HOPE  She's a true southern mutt.  Her brothers and sisters are coming to Maine this weekend!  We drove to Hampton and got her fresh off the truck from Arkansas! 

 I'm not sure if they are excited.    What do you think?

We just got some chicks cause we had a snatching fox, she actualy got our favorite bird Hammy  ;(

 The back yard ( technically it is the front yard)  is coming along nicely, dog some more of the uneven banking out and added Hostas and Phlox.  

 Tony built me a fence to keep my chickens out!!

 and I built me a new raised bed that i now need to fill with dirt!  

 Haylee's watermelon and basil garden is going right where tony is sitting!

 Seedlings after the rain they can't wait to go in the garden tomorrow.  

 Happy pumpkins in the new garden the back of the bed will be pole beans.

And one of my favorites!
