The boys are more interested in holding the chicks and checking on them than the last time we had some.
I'm hoping they will be more involved in them as they grow, but we will see. It's nice to have more chicken lovers around here.
The Mexican sunflowers out front are now blooming and attracting hummingbirds. The mimosa tree is also attractive to the hummingbirds, and it is just across the driveway from them, so I am seeing them more. We've just started getting some cherry tomatoes. Most of the herbs are ready, too. I've got some big tomatoes and peppers getting closer to ripe, but the squirrels have taken some of the tomatoes. The deer ate most of the beans. They also ate the first batch of cucumber plants, but so far, the second batch is getting big and nearly ready to set fruit. My friend gifted me pounds of cucumbers, so even if the deer eat the rest, I at least canned relish and bread and butter pickles.
