And Chickens Make Seven
Finally! We are getting chickens. We’ve been talking about it for so long (we’ve had the names picked out forever: more names from Bonanza show to go along with our dog, Hoss).We’re getting them for free through a random connection (friend–>step-mom–>fellow parent at a private school). Matt and I jumped at the chance.

At Least We’ve Got the Onions
We are not having a good gardening season so far. The odds are stacked against us: the fickle weather, the ravaging dog, the lack of gardening skill and prowess.

Plus he deliberately dug a bunch of dirt out of the tomato box.
Oi vey. At least we’ve got the onions, carrots, peas, radishes, and wild flowers.

Another S.O.S.
It’s snowing today. Sheesh. It’s May 13 and it’s snowing. We have officially passed the 6-month mark for winter. Help!
We covered everything last night with tarps and sheets. But many of our plants are pretty much dead. Bye, bye tomatoes. And bell peppers.
Gardening is very difficulty for me, indeed.
