     Tiffany and i started the day weeding and pulling bamboo behind the house.  About every two weeks we have to tackle the bamboo again.  Rachel planted the planter boxes that will go in front of the barn after they get the hay in.  The girls spent the rest of their day mulching the garden.  We don't want to lose any of that precious moisture!  

      I dusted for cucumber beetles than planted more flowers and other odd jobs.  Last night I moved the pullets to their grown up home.  A few customers came for odds and ends.  Gilbert sprayed for cucumber beetles last night.  We don't put dust on any plants with blossoms because it might harm the bees.  The spray is only good for six hours so we use it after the bees go to bed.  By the time they get up it isn't toxic.

       Puttin a new roof on the big barn has been a work in progress the last few years as Doug had tiem and money.  As of yesterday the job is finihed..  It looks good and now leaks on the hay!

      A beautiful day is starting,  we should get lots done.  Enjoy your day, Sally
