Cooped Up

 I don't know about you but I kind of enjoy a late spring RAIN DAY!  Besides being great for the gardens, it gives me a chance to direct my energy to  " what's doin' " inside and rest my bones from a hard days work in the garden.

When I'm working in the garden things have a tendency to pile up! Today, instead of heading outside first thing to mulch the new raised beds I covered the pile and walked over to checked on the Cottage Hens. Look who I found all snug inside the coop! Lacy Lou is taking advantage of the quiet time too.... No dust baths, scratching for bugs and worms for her today! I know she's sitting on a pile of eggs. Those have stacked up too! 

I'm off to tackle the laundry, go through the mail, make out a grocery list, vacuum up the dog hair,swish the toilets and gather eggs. Glamorous, I know but someone has to do it!

 I think I see a batch of homemade brownies in my future!

Have a great day what ever the weather! 

Farmgirl Friday blog hop # 61

 

Welcome one and all to the Farmgirl/guy Friday Blog Hop! 

Here's where you get to strut your stuff about all things, homesteading, crafting, cooking, gardening, keeping chickens and more! As always I so enjoy each and every entry but only one of you can be the featured farmgirl/guy! This week I chose Jabez Farm for her post on Expressing One's Farmness!

I got a kick out of it! If you didn't get a chance to read it last week click here! 

So, what sort of Farmness have you been up too this week? I got the veggie garden planted and the rest of the raised beds for cut flowers filled! Only one more bed to plant;then I can mulch and begin to relax a little while everything grows!

A friend and I went to our local Farmers Market today to check out the early June harvest.
