Hello August!
Good Morning, dear friends! Oh my goodness, how is it August already? Crazy, Crazy, Crazy!
July was a busy month for us. The kids had their National SASP competition in Ohio. They both did extremely well. Michael's team placed 2nd out of the nation in one of their events. They have worked so hard the past few months preparing and they did awesomely.
The kids watched a few pets for neighbors in July, so they've had a few weeks of non-stop on-the-go action.
After Nationals, we came home and my dear hubby decided to go out into the garden and pick a few beans. He met a friend, who was not so friendly.
Thankfully he's doing fine and is now back to work! I on the other hand have not been in the garden since. I don't like snakes in general, but Coperheads scare me to death.
I hope y'all had a wonderful July.
So enough about my crazy month of July, let's get on with Happy Homemaker Monday with Sandra!

Cuteness overload coming. Our hen never got broody this year, so we bought a few new chicks at the local farm store. We picked out 4 Barred Rock and 4 Lavander Orpingtons. Out of the four, we have 5 that have made it. I think the Lavander Orpingtons were not a great lot. Only 2 are still with us and Tinkerbell (the tiniest one almost passed)
Tinkerbell
Violet
So since we only have 5 left, we've named them after the Dinsey Faries.
2 Lavendar Orpingtons -Tinkerbell(the smallest) and Periwinkle

Stay tuned for more of their adventures.

Look like you had a busy month. School here starts on the 18th here in Louisiana. So we have been busy too. Have a great week
ReplyDeleteYikes on that snake! So scary, did your husband get bit? Was thinking of trying to train our beans up a trellis (for fall), now I know I am going to do that. I was trying to remember who on this link up sold Tupperware, going to visit your site right now. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHe did. Thankfully, we got to the hospital and he was able to get the anti-venom.
