A Quick Update



Hello, friends.  I hope you've been enjoying these recent days.  Well, we finally did it, and took our first skoolie trip.  We just got back today (Sunday), so this post will be short and sweet.  I plan to put up a post on Friday about our trip.  Other than the usual homestead happenings, a neighbor we shared sweet potato slips with gifted me several petunia seedlings, of different colors.  Petunias are something I've never grown, and I'm excited to see how they do.  So far, they all seem happy, though a few are being chewed on by something.  Another neighbor gave me a chicken treat hanger.  Before we left, I put a bolting head of lettuce on it, to give them some amusement while we were gone, as I left their screened porch closed to their yard, to keep them safe.  I gave them another head of lettuce when we returned today.  I'd say the feeder is a hit.  We have some great neighbors!
