Herb photo update

I finally took pics of my herbs today. My anise and Summer Savory have poked through. They all are stretching towards the light today.

Seeing how many pods have sprouted every day brings a smile to my face.  :)

Memory Garden

I'm very excited to show you I have some flowers starting to grow in my Memory Garden that I planted in the fall!! They are sprouting earlier than I anticipated.

The boys have named the chickens.
 We have Happy Feet and Chicken Little.
We are not allowed to let our chickens free range but when it's warm I let them roam the yard for awhile. Thankful they come when called. Here is a couple of pic of them.

Here is Chicken Little.

Happy Feet.
Here are both in their run.

I absolutely love this life. I'm learning and make many mistakes but it is a content life for me. ♡♡

Fingers crossed..

This is my first time starting plants from seeds inside.  I will keep you updated with progress.

16 different herbs planted. 2 need to be directly sown in the ground. I'm hoping they will grow well. I have not decided if I will leave some plants inside to have year round or not.
I'm most excited about the cilantro. I love homemade salsa and making it fresh out of our garden will be amazing later on this year.
I see why my family all gardens, it truly is relaxing.
We had some visitors at our bird feeders. (Due to all the snow melting here they sit on the ground until the ground thaws enough to put the shepherd hook in the ground).

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!!
The boys and I went for a ride to check out people's Christmas Lights on Christmas Eve.
The past few days hubby has been working on one of our son's bedroom. He absolutely loved sharks so he is painting the whole room blue and has made some cutouts out of old paneling that was in our attic.

We eventually will get him shark bedding and some stickers for the walls.

Running towards final stages

We now have a bedroom door, built in shelves near our future window. Thsee shelves are where my grandmother's desk will be sitting. To the right I am going to make a message board out of an old window we have here.
Mudding is being put up and flooring is being laid down as well.
Hubby made his own chair rail.

A little more done

About half way done now!!

Hubby just needs to finish putting sheet rock up around the closets. Finish sheet rocking the entryway. The ceiling just needs the rest of the "beams" added. The door put in. Tape and mudding, paint then voila it is finished! !!

New room pics

Here are some more pics of the room.  Hubby has put a bathroom door in from master bedroom. He also put up some of the bead board on the ceiling with the beams.
Closets are framed in and barn boards in it to match the bedroom.

Hubby measuring to cut out spot for bathroom door.
