Hello All and Welcome new followers!<\/p>\n

First, as always, I wanted to give an update on the dogs, the cats and few new ones!<\/p>\n

Herc has been doing so well!\u00a0 He goes in today for his bloodwork.\u00a0 If his white cells are at a good level then, he will have his final chemo treatment next week! Yay! Athena (Teenie) went for her annual check up earlier this week.\u00a0 She has been losing weight lately (8 lbs. since her last annual check up) as she has been throwing up fairly regularly.\u00a0 We were very concerned and we prepared for the worst.\u00a0 Fortunately, her bloodwork came back good and she even had an unltrasound and it came back good as well!\u00a0 Praise!\u00a0 The Doctor thinks it may be acid reflux. So, we are giving her Pepcid AC.\u00a0 So far no throw ups in two days.\u00a0 Keeping our fingers crossed. \u00a0Here they are playing on the deck one evening. \"\"<\/p>\n

Bun got a good brushing this past weekend.\u00a0 As you can see, she really needed it! \"\" \"\" Honey stays busy keeping the property safe and secure.\u00a0 Here she is burying a treat in the garden.\u00a0 Maybe she thinks it will grow more treats there?? \"\"<\/p>\n

The cats are doing well. \"\" \u00a0We bought a little fan for their room to circulate the air. \"\" When temps are 80 – 90 degrees outside it feels about 20 degrees hotter inside.\u00a0 The fan has really made a difference.<\/p>\n

For our new ones …..\u00a0 We found this little baby crossing the driveway.\u00a0 It’s a snapping turtle and he was about as big as a dinner plate.\u00a0 He was huge!\u00a0 We’ve come to realize everything is bigger at the farm!\u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

We now have cows on the farm.\u00a0 You read right, cows! \"\" \"\" \"\" \u00a0A neighbor approached us asking if we would be willing to lease the front two parcels of land on the property.\u00a0 It’s about 7.5 acres.\u00a0 It’s on a slant where it is difficult to mow so, now the cows can mow it!\u00a0 Win, win!<\/p>\n

The garden is coming along well.\u00a0 We harvested all the radishes this past weekend.\u00a0 I made a few jars of pickled radishes with most of them. \"\" We have tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions of every kind, pumpkins, watermelon, celery, carrots, lettuce, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, beans, a variety of peppers and brussel sprouts growing.\u00a0 Our corn and squash (with the exception of two) did not come up so, we are going to try and replant those. All in all, the garden is looking full! \"\" \u00a0\"\"\"\" Spot loves to be out in the garden when we are hoeing. We are making some organic insecticide to use this weekend.\u00a0 We noticed a few pests that need to go away.<\/p>\n

Spring cleaning is about completed and just before summer gets here.\u00a0 I did my cleaning in sections and I took my time.\u00a0 I moved a few things, declutter and then, decorated for Memorial Day – Labor Day.\u00a0 I made quite a few things this year for my decor. I realized pretty quickly that I didn’t have a lot of decorations because this time last year we barely had a fireplace.\u00a0 This year there is much more real estate to cover!\u00a0 \u00a0So, I made a wreath for the back door using an old flag I had kept \"\" and a small wreath for the pantry door. \"\"I painted some wooden blocks and added some stars. \"\" I painted some mason jars and added some floral with some rag balls I also made. \"\" I made some clay stars for my little tree on the mantel. \"\"\u00a0Wooden beads, of course.\u00a0 \"\"\u00a0 Oh, and I made these cute little tags.\u00a0 \"\" The rag balls and tags are suppose to be bowl fillers but, I preferred<\/p>\n

using them differently this year. Most of these crafts I found on Pinterest.<\/p>\n

\"\" I love these pictures.\u00a0 They have a personal meaning to me.\u00a0 The pictures are of Kennesaw Mountain’s Field of Flags.\u00a0 Someone I went to high school with, who is no longer with us, was instrumental in getting this project kick started and I graduated with the photographer.<\/p>\n

Here’s how everything came together.\u00a0 If you know me, I’ll move and change things up all summer long.\u00a0 I can’t help myself.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\"\u00a0\"\"\"\"\"\" \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n
