Ahh - Saturday & Sunday Mornings!!!

Veronica (aka Roni) knows how to start the weekend!!! She's my climber.  I'll find her on the roof, at the top of many trees, leaping from one tree to another.  I worry how's she going to get down?  But she always makes it.   This picture was after one of her adventures.  I noticed her eyeing the hammock from the tree; and caught her enjoying it!!!  Too cute.

Roni on the roof Sunday Morning.

Here's how the rest of the farm spends the morning. 

Patti - watching Roni on the roof.

Princess - Her favorite spot on the patio.

Calli - she must have worked all night - already napping.

Crosby - in the safety of the workshop - but enjoys and open window.

Hoss worked all night too - catching a nap on the patio.

One of the three Serenity's Girls - Baby chicks behind her in their pen

Junior - working the farm

One of the chicks - First Day Out



The Mom's and their Kids.

Sierra and her boy - the two sisters are just as cute

For us -- the day is filled with more chores (of course).  But the battle with Bermuda is still on!.  We are winning -- I hope.  Time will only tell.

Peaches are ripening and we are picking a few to enjoy -- still a little green.. but still delish!

This year we reluctantly thinned the fruit on the tree -- any fruit within 6" of another got picked and sacrifices.  Really! This was one of the hardest things to do - deciding which ones remained and which ones goes.   Surprisingly, it resulted in Large Fruit instead of the small ones we had last year.  A hard lesson learned, but we'll enjoy the fruits of our labor.  LOL...

Ben enjoys the hard peaches (still a bit green)... Picture perfect!  In the bacground is the asparagus fern.  I'm surprised out beautiful and light this bush is.  Excited to start cutting some and enjoying with dinner.

We inspected the beehive an are concerned we lost the queen with the transfer two weeks ago.  Seems like we have less bees but the ones that are still here are still busy making honey.  Hopefully they are raising their new queen if we lost our other one.  The book - Beekeeping for Dummies (which I definately consider the bible for new beekeepers) says is can take 24 days to raise the new queen.  So, we'll check it out next week and see if we see progress.  If not - I guess we will order a new queen.   So many things to learn; but worth it.  And too many "ah ha - we should of..." moments.  

View out the back door.  Neighbor's Longhorn bulls in the distance.   Everything is so green because we have been blesses with Rain... A small shower hits just after this set of photos were taken Sunday Morning.
