I Have Homemaker ADD Today....

It started at 5:30  this morning when the 

chickens were going absolutely bonkers 

out there.

I was convinced that the resident fox was 

tormenting them again and got up and 

ran out to give him the "what for!".

However, there was no fox.

It was an empty waterer

that had their feathers all in a 

fluff.  Good Grief!

Well, actually I am thankful that they 

tell us such things.

Sometimes they go through it so quickly....

and it has been hot lately.

My funny girl, Mabel, came into the 

box and chattered away at me....

pointing out the empty waterer.

Love that hen.

By the way, 

we have five chicks in the nursery.

We removed a hen and set her up

to raise them until they are big enough

to stand up to the rooster.

That rooster is a bugger!

I've seen him intentionally step on 

the chicks....no more, big guy!!

No more!

I decided, since it was early, to 

peek out the front window and see

who might be playing in the field across 

the street.

There were five or six deer out there.

Some fawns and Mommas.

The fawns were playing together...

chasing each other and bounding about.

So fun!

Well, anyway so the hens

had me awake and the dogs 

were up early. 

Up and out with belly aches.

Someone....(me)....had given them

too much table food.

Oops!

I've been cleaning up messes

over the past 18 hours so when they were 

eager to get outside and then were quite

busy with making themselves feel better 

I started weeding my perennial bed.

Now I thought I would just pull a few weeds.

Then one thing led to another and I did the whole bed.

Wow!  Did it need it!

I also took out most of the mallow as the 

Japanese beetles were attacking it and it 

was looking rather ugly.

While I was out there pulling weeds I saw that 

they launched two hot air balloons today.

I'm going to show some of Chelsea's Photos soon.

But for this post I have included pictures I took 

yesterday at Longwood Gardens.  We took a 

quick trip over there yesterday afternoon.

It was nice to be there again.

It had been too long.

I came inside and decided to pay the bills.

Got that done....

Decided to start some wash....

Started that....

Found some coupons for Costco....

Cut those out.

It is 8:11 am and I am trying to decide which 

direction to head in next.

I have a whole host of things on my 

"to do" list for today.

Good thing I got a head start!

Here's the tentative list:

Four loads of laundry

Scrub bathroom and kitchen floors.

Get groceries

Make 5 hot chocolate mugs

Make 2 new bowl candles

Vacuum

Dust

Nap!

What are you up to today?

Hopefully you are able to focus......
