My wonderful friend told me about the company that gives free mulch for our area. I signed up for it on monday.. they gave a truck load today (wed)!! I’m excited to have all this mulch but I will be working with mulch for the next few weeks🤣🤣.

We used wheel barrows and buckets to move the mulch. “Many hands make for light work” is what I told my kids. All my kids helped out! It was nice family work time and to see who could get the most buckets moved. 🖤🖤 #familyhelping #maketheyardlooknice #lotsofmulch #yayforthetruckloadhaha #willbeworkingwithmulchforweekstocomemaybeevenyearshaha

Today one of my wonderful friend gave me some dirt, some mulch, some flowers, veggies, and she went and picked up two pallets for me. I can’t thank her enough! It was nice to hang out with her and let our kids play. This evening my husband and I started mapping out how to use the pallets. We got one idea almost done and I’m excited to get some more veggies planted! #thankyoutomyfriend #lovemyfriend #sheisanamazingperson

It rained a lot today where I live but we did catch a break in the weather for a bit. I love it when it rains means I don’t have to worry about getting out to water the lawn and the garden but on the other hand it’s not very much fun getting the girls their water or food while its raining. Bella did some posing for the camera today for me. She is doing her run way walk in these photos! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

When one of the quail hatched it was born with a few deformities. It was born with scissor beak and only one eye. We had decided sense it wasn’t showing any sign of pain and it was eating and drinking we would see how things went. With taking on this little handicapped pet we picked the name Andy (still don’t know the sex of any of the quail for a few more weeks). Checking little Andy today we noticed that it’s scissor beak is looking much better. I even got good photo of little Andy!

Cleaning out the quail this evening and I noticed their water dish was leaking 😣. So the kids and I got them a new little bowl. At first they were scared of it😂. Ducking their heads and pecking at the side of the new bowl. When we continued to clean them out I Was holding this little one when I went to take a photo of it and I noticed it was giving me the stink eye!😂🤣😂🤣

These little guys were born over mother’s day weekend!

They are very small and very fast. I always knew quail were fast but when you actually see it, it’s like holly hell I have acquired the road runner! ( coturnix quail ) #quailsuperfastlittlangels #sosmall #weekoldeattingalotwonderwhereitgoesjustlikethekids #pleasesharemyblog #thanksforreading

The last few days where I live have been nothing but rain! So no yard work for me but I did get some seeds planted and put in the green house. I started some spinach seeds I also picked an artichoke plant. I’ve never done one of those it will be interesting to see how it goes! If anyone has any tips for it I love her hear some. 🖤🖤 #rainisgood #rainmakestheprojectslastlonger #lazyrainydaysaregoodteadays #needthewatersoinawayitworksout #idonthavetowaterthefrontlawnthankstotherainyay

I’m sad to say that on Monday our sweet rwby(bunny) was found not alive. She was fine over the weekend she didn’t get into anything she was doing everything normal, to find her that way was very heartbreaking.. It’s never easy with death weather it is a person or an animal. This is the last photo we took of her. She will be missed greatly ! #restinpeace #missyourwby

A while back I bought some rose seeds off the internet. I honestly didn’t have my hopes up about them growing. While walking around my yard checking and watering things. I looked over to see a small rose bush!

I also planted lilies in this pot I wanted to make sure something would grow🤣. Now to wait and see if the roses will be the color that the seller said they would be. #excitedtoseewhathappens #badreviewdontmeanbaditeam #hopethecoloriscorrect #pleasesharemyblog

My wonderful husband helped me get some more seeds started this evening. It was nice to have my husband help me with the planting. I’m hoping we have a good turn out this year. We Planted … peas, pumpkins ( orange and white), green beans, corn(black), watermelon, cantaloupe, broccoli, cauliflower, more carrots, mint, parsley, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, purple bell peppers ( can’t wait for those one) tomoates, lettuce, and cucumbers. #lovegardening #cantwaitforittogrow #thanksforreading #pleasesharemyblog
