This entire last weekend we worked in various capacities on our place. For the kids that meant helping pull weeds and “working” in the pool. For we adults it was much less grand and there was no pool at the end of our jobs.

But our garden looks better. The little chicks have a ramp and I have a new gate to go thru. The lawnmower is fixed again. This time the fix involved taking a good portion of the engine apart to reach the broken pieces. I said many thanks to the fact that my Dad can fix things because the rest of us: not so much!

It was a great weekend filled with interesting things in amongst the work. Things like dragonflies. We counted seven flying above the garden. An interesting bug err beetle. One of the hawks getting bombarded by our red winged blackbirds. The vultures making an appearance and showing again that the numbers of have increased.

And lastly our own animals making themselves known through amusing things they do. Like the little chickens who keep getting under the fence. Or the geese working on flying.

It was a good weekend
