Category: backyarding with kids and every day house projects

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

Someone asked to see some photos of my nesting box area.

This is the front view from the side door it’s the main one I use to clean them out. I always make sure they have plenty of bedding (pine) in there.

Here are the nesting boxes. I have one small one and one large one but the large one can be made into two boxes. They all like the one big one in the corner. I just took the wood out that was making it into two boxes. #bignestingboxisalwayswantedbyeveryone #chickensaresilly #crazychickenlady

On this beauitful evening Rwby ( bunny) got to run around. She and the kids ran all over the yard. I did didn’t get much yard work done but I did get these awesome photos of her.

I love when I can get things done right away. I got the garden box stained and the carrots moved into it. I love how it came out, I even got some weeds pulled! (Before photo)

(After)

The weeds in this area were hard to get out, I hate when they are so short and hard to pull out but at lest it’s done for this area of the yard. My daughter was sweet and helped me out. #thanksforreading #pleasesharemyblog #woodworkingisawesome #bigthankstomydaughterforhelpingpulltheweeds
