This is our garden and flower beds.






The first pic is of our new bed in the front yard. That is a whole like and we decided to make it a flower bed.
Second we kept mowing those down so I cleaned out all around them so we could see them. The previous tenants planted them.
Third is our 2 biggest garden spots.
Fourth is our container garden.
Fifth is our smallest plot.
We have a variety of veggies and think we might make another plot.
My goal is to at least have enough food for half the winter is not all. That way we will save alot on groceries.

What we are doing on the land.



The first picture is where Johnny has been cleaning off the land. This was all vines and blackberry bushes with walnut trees mixed in. The second picture is down through the back part of our property. Our riding mower died so we can not mow this. The deer are enjoying though.
The people who lived here before did not take care of this place so we have had to clean up trash and bush. They had let it grow up so bad. I will try to get out and take some more pictures of the flower beds and garden spots to show you.
I hope my regular readers are happy. I am bored and restless so I am doing this to entertain myself.

Our Ladies Today





Ross was feeding them cicadas. They love those things. We are so enjoying these chickens.

Peanut Butter Pie

1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup powdered sugar, sugar or splenda (only use one not all 3)
1 8 oz. pkg Cream Cheese

Mix together above with mixer. Fold in 16 oz. cool whip (lite if making sugar free)
Put in a large graham cracker crust. Put in refrigerator overnight or until cool.

I use 2 9 inch pans so you get 2 pies out of it.

I also use what ever type peanut butter I have on hand. 1/3 less fat cream cheese works good too.

My family loves this.

Here are the chickens Ryan


They are bigger now I will get a more recent picture up.
