I noticed how fat the chickens are getting when I was out the other morning.   It seems that feeding them basic utility vs broiler maker feed isn't hurting them.  I am anxious to see if there is a difference after we butcher.  We can tell if it gave them more fat on the bird or just fattened them up.  This is a unique one.  It's colors stayed as it grew.

Take a look at all the roosters we have this time around!

I had the farrier come the beginning of the week and he saw the garden from afar.  He thought that ragweed was taking over the garden.  Actually, these are all the tomato plants in the north corner.  I hope I see some red ones soon!

This is from the other side of garden.  The corn is growing higher but I haven't seen any ears forming yet.   There are a few squash starting to form, and I have been picking beans and peas a little every day.  I don't think the carrots are going to grow again this year.  I will really have to try something different next year.  It shouldn't be that hard to get them to at least seedlings. 

I am still going out to do laundry.  I had to extend the line in the yard because doing it that way gets it all done at one time.  This can be a good thing though because the hamper is then empty for a day.

It was funny watching the cats with their newest fascination.  I was out weeding early in the morning when I saw them all over Becky's car.  The dew was so heavy it left the windows wet.  The cats found that when they rubbed their paws on the window it made a squeaky noise.  This kept them busy for quite a while until the sun came around.

Thankfully I had finished the front garden when the sun did come up around in the morning.  It was getting warm fast.   Too many weeds to haul out of there.  Whoever likes doing this part of gardening is nuts.  Just look at that pile. And that was about a week's worth!
