A Month in Photos

Wow what a whirlwind month! So much has happened that I couldn't even comprehend where to start!

For those of you following Peanuts journey....there is lots of good news! Thanks to Northern Lights wildlife shelter & Rehab, Peanut has been feeling so much better,growing, and totally rid of his pneumonia.  Once an animal that is considered a "nuisance" animal has been rescued in BC , the shelter is not permitted to release him back into the wild. He must go somewhere else like a protected reserve or something. Well it turns out our little P.G. Beaver is going to become a star!! He will be going to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife center in California to hand with the other Canadian Beaver "Justine" Beaver...lol and hopefully breed together! No chance of a Icy cold winters for this sweetie Pie!! The special Caretaker that will be caring fir him will be personally flying up to pick him up as he is too little for cargo.

My daughter is in junior Olympians in archery and we are at the end of the season and its almost time to wrap it up. The final tournament is this Sunday.

This is how I feel lately...Ive been on crutches with a ripped hamstring, and I cant weed, or do anything fun in my yard & garden. Its horrible, and cant wait for the day it heals, its been weeks..and no progress. I cant drive or do anything with the kids. Praying for healing soon, so I can get with the program!! I love the sun so I'm desperately praying I don't miss out on summer!

This is the garden a month or 2 ago...and this is it now:

Lush and green and beautiful....except the weeds...I will get to them someday...

Ive heard all of the pros and cons about tire gardening, but I'm going for it anyways!

 Even the chickens & turkeys are growing!

Rocky's getting huge!! Hes sure telling the turkeys who's boss around here! Romeo is second in command I think, its hard to tell the pecking order yet with close to 40 birds..

Romeo & Juliet are loving the heat and sun...Hes got the cutest floppy pea comb.

Remember biscuit the "Buff" broad breasted Buff turkey? Hes massive for 3 months!

This little Sussex rooster is 5 weeks old...boy they are tiny compared to the turkeys!!

Here is a 5 week old White Broad Breasted Turkey. Hes 5 times the size of the chickens!

Part of the crew nibbling...

Taking in the new blooms & Blossoms....

Keeping busy crafting up projects for my girlfriends sons wedding. We are the decorating crew! Should be a blast ...I'm dying to be better so we can get the lodge all clean,beautiful and ready for the new bride & groom by august 4th.

So happy we got to hit the beach before I blew out my leg! We enjoyed a wonderful sunny day at a local beach... I don't know who those people are in the background..my son likes to wander and adopt other families and kids, its kinda fun. Sometimes I wish he wasn't so Overly friendly and maybe a little shy..lol

Have a wonderful June!

Pallet Coop "DeVille" is almost ready!

So, we set out on an adventure building our recycled pallet chicken coop!

It was pretty fun ,but just when we figured we were making some headway it seemed to never end! Here we used pallets for the base, floor and studs.

My yard looked terrible with all the broken pallets and junk around but was totally worth saving quite alot of money:)

Then again, we had these sweet turkeys waiting for us to hurry up! these guys are one day old here. and broad breasted bronze heritage breed turkeys.

Meet Biscuit.  That is him above , they sweet little fellow behind him ended up dying unfourtunatly, so bisciut was pretty lonely.  I took him under my wing and hes doing great. Here he is 2 weeks old.

Its almost there!!! We can see the light!  It helped to have a husband who knows electrical, so we could wire in lights and heat lamps. Each side is seperate for turkeys and chickens and night.

Pallet board outside...

Nesting boxes are almost done...

We found this great window used from some neighbors for cheap, so that was a great find!

Geezzzzzzz, I love turkeys, they are so docile & calm.

This is Rocky & Mini awaiting their chicky side to hurry up and be finished...

Now to just keep an eye on all these kitties who are very interested in all the events going on over here!
