Great wildflower site

Just wanted to let you know of a great wildflower site that I have stumbled across. It is sorted by both flower color and biome. This makes it very easy to find. The photos are pretty good on most of them too.

I did it again....sorry

Hello.....yes, I feel so bad because a full month has gone by since last blogging anything here. So let's get caught up.

Work, work, work, play, play, work, sleep, sleep, work, work, play, sleep, work. Yep, that about sums it up. Actually last weekend I had a nice time riding bicycles on the Silver Comet trail. Some photos are here.

Afterward, I went with Bonnie to the Taste of Marietta street party. Lots of people, lots of food, lots of fun...good music too. I am working only 3 days this week, then off to the Smokies for the weekend (long weekend, Thursday-Sunday).

More yard work

I finished a new and expanded chicken run for the new birds. I moved the new pullets out to their new pen and they seemed happy...although they did not want to go into the coop at night. So I had to catch them and place them in there. Hopefully after a few nights of sleeping there, they will get it in their head that they need to go into the coop at night for safety.

More flowers were planted yesterday as well.....more zinnias and lantana.

I have also been enjoying reading some of the journals of Appalachian Trail hikers at this website. Go to the JOURNALS section and then select the hiker you want to read. Some have excellent journals with pics....others don't.

BBQ, fencing, plants, and chicks

What a busy weekend....I judged 2 days at the FBA's 2004 Georgia State BBQ Cookoff, put up a new fence, planted a bunch of impatiens, english daisies, snapdragons, nasturtia, and other flowers.....mostly seeds, and bought a new larger cage for the chicks.

Tomorrow evening, it is supposed to drop below freezing, so I didn't set out my tomatoes, okra, and peppers yet....I will bring those containers in the house tonight. Maybe I can set them out next week...of course yesterday, my brother and sister in law borrowed my tiller, so I will have to hand dig it....yuck!

new pics of chicks

Enjoy the new chick pics...look at the blog pic from just 12 days ago below to see a big difference in size!
