May 2011 Highlights Slideshow

[dalthauser]

I'm a little late with the May highlight slideshow.  Once I get this done - I'll work on June.  I have a long weekend with the holiday, so I wanted to catch up on things that give me pleasure but never seem to be able to set aside time for.

Some things in May that were awesome

*  We discovered that the annoying tree behind the chicken coop is a Mulberry tree!  (annoying because you can't walk behind the coop because the tree is right there taking up the whole space)

*  Dad came for a visit, and Marcel got to spend time with him.

*  Summer garden in full production.  We did pretty good, but the squash succumbed to the vine borers - that was sad.

*  Our Delaware hen (who was born on the Acre) sat on and hatched 4 babies (the other two I hatched in the incubator).  It has been fun watching them grow under her watchful eye.

* I spent Memorial Day weekend with Marcel helping him with the restaurant.  Enjoyed the time together.

The video didn't work for me (it will be something to do with the new software I have), but so many good things have been happening for you.

Mulberry trees and chooks go together, if you ask me. The chooks fertilise the tree, the tree gives them shade - and sunshine in the winter. I hope you get lots of mulberries!

I'm glad your dad and Marcel got to spend some time with each other!

You've been having fun with chickens, too. Awesome!

Edit: I just saw the pics!

My neighbor has a weeping Mulberry. I didn't know that was a mulberry until I searched Mulberry after reading your post.

I'm always amazed at the variety of plants and trees in this world.

Momma Hen is a proud girl!

Glad you had a wonderful May.

Mulberries and chickens! Be prepared for purple chicken poop! :)

A wonderful month, according to the highlights. Those heirloom tomatoes are beautiful.

You looked so cute, you in your bandana with Marcel, working at the restaurant. Such a great couple!

I never mind helping him in the kitchen, but - if I was to be at the restaurant full-time I'd want to be front of the house. My husband stresses me out at work (typical chef) :-)
