Our first post....and the two of us (Darrin and Melissa) draw a blank. Maybe we are just too tired tonight. This afternoon we planted two knockout rose trees (yes trees), a Henry Fonda (yellow) rose bush, a Queen Elizabeth (pink) rose bush and then mulched the rose garden. This was after went to 8 greenhouses/nurseries in 3 different counties looking for the roses we wanted (still looking for some.) Earlier this morning Darrin spread rock to widen the circle drive, moved dirt to rose garden, planted a magnolia, and 3 hydrangeas and mulched around them and the 24 herb plants that I put out before I went to get another load of mulch.
The Boys (Dalton and Blake) did the milking this morning for the first time by theirself and was so disappointed that Lola Belle kicked over the milk bucket just as they finished. We also managed to keep the 26 chickens alive for another day.
Alex entertained and tended to Jessie (the dog) and had her own gardening rake, hoe and shovel out to help with the mulching and planting. We still have some more planting to do in the vegtable gardens but we may wait until after Darrin's parent visit next week.
We sure are mighty tired some nights but we are livin' our dream and lovin' every ache!
