My recent "wardrobe" has consisted of that green sweater and those blue muck boots. I even wear it shopping..Much to The Captains disappointment. It goes from polliwog hunting to stopping in the local big store for groceries or new socks. I like it...
Chia has been out chomping away at the unmown yard. Dandelions, grape hyacinth and violets are popping up everywhere! Not just to Chia's delight, but to the little children who have been decorating our table with little bud vases to spice jars brimming with spring bouquets.
Chia has been itching like this alot lately. She still has some of her winter coat, which daily brushing helps. Although her way is so much more fun to watch. Babies? Yeah.. still has me guessing. No movement felt yet but she does look bigger on her right side. Not as "sunken down" as the left, towards the tail. Gotta see it, to understand it.
Lil' Man has named our lone chick rooster. Meet Dandelion aka "Dandy Lion". Lil' man has a thing for lions... And the dirty face is from a day long adventure of climbing trees, playing in ponds, chasing frogs and chickens, picking flowers with his sisters and sticks with daddy, to driving the neighbors tractor. Not just a mower. Nope. The great big one that mama loves. Told you that boy is amazing. Had it down in 5 minutes.
Sweet dreams,
We have transported a few frogs from our ditch drain pipe. I believe where they have been living, has been effecting their spawn:
This little guy croaked a bunch at us, along with jumping all over the place. Panda really loves her frogs. I snuck up on her today telling them stories...
I dig the thick tight clumps, gently brush off the dried on dirt chunks. then seperate them, form a mini trench. Then plant them in the soil, spaced more then the above picture. The above clump was a half of that just last year. They multiply quickly and are great on top of pizza. (Which, by the way, I am making tonight.) These have a scent of garlic chives. when we mow the lawn, the air is filled with their scent. I LOVE that when it happens. This will be the year i try to dehydrate some for winter use.
All the stepping stones are in place and the pond with it's season temporary liner are finished. The water is murky from clay being washed off the children's feet and their rocks.(how am I suppose to clean that out?) Bonnie enjoyed it as well. She discovered it while following me throughout the garden, as I dug up the clumps of grass growing. She bathed in it a good 5 minutes before heading back to brag to Clyde. (who wants nothing to do with it..how odd, a duck who does not like deep water? Although Frog did bring a chick over for her "bath". Thankfully I caught her before it was too late. A stern 'chicks do not take bathes talk' was issued.)
Thought I would share our sod roof toad house by the pond, I previously mentioned. We used a broken clay pipe - broke out one side so the bottom is dirt as toads prefer and the top is the pipe. We laid the grass sod thick pieces on top of the pipe and made an entry way with wide stones. Just have to remember to water it, so the grass will not dry out.
I made a trip to the wine supply store for some equipment. I should not have spent the many as of yet, which my trip was just to get the yeast...
I got corks (taster's corks are my preference-20 cents each- since they have the black plastic tops making it easier to remove without use of a cork screw)
We ran up to the garden and scoped out where we should plant the grapes. We all decided before, that we were to plant a rose bush above where Dawg is buried. His grave was mistakenly incorporated into the garden when Tractor boy came over to till with the tractor.
The dark Bee's wax is from old age, not pesticides. He will be replacing the wax soon and said I could have the old wax for candles or such. YAY! I will be making rolled candles from it plus some lip balm among other things.
So now a very good mother to a buckling and a bottle fed doeling!
The plans have not been finalized for when I get to pick her up and if the buckling will be left at her side. Waiting for another doe to give birth down there which will determine all of it.
"Wickes Furniture" has been forced to liquidate their current inventory, the company filed for bankruptcy back in February. The furniture giant ran 43 stores in greater
Panda quickly brought out her book "all about frogs" by Jim Arnosky.
Makes me wonder if this is the green tree frog we found in the Squash leaves.
And the Rosemary showing roots:
We did not plant all the cuttings in the bag we bought. I did save half for culinary use. Some were woody as you can see from the rosemary rooting in my hand. That was also the one with the most root tendrils. I noticed the top was starting to peek out the top of the 2 liter which spurred me to check for signs of roots. So now they are in their new pots and I am buying more from Beiler's market this week! 
Hopefully there is a bit more selection in herbs to add with my need for more Rosemary. I will be giving some as gifts for Mothers day so need to get them going ASAP. Gotta add more pots to the list. Speaking of pots, Lowe's had a nice array on sale that have the tray and pot as one piece. Pretty glazed pots at that.
Booty shot:
Which was fun chasing her trying to snap pics while the neighbors were out in their yards... I'd laugh too if I saw the neighbor following her goat around, snapping pics of its Butt....
I have half of the Mangels planted. The other 2 pathways are done. A sod roof Toad house is erected on the back(north/west) side of the pond- with a few flower seeds planted in a few choice cracks. Sweet Pea's are sown in Panda's garden.
