Headed off to Flipside this week!

And all our energy has been going toward getting ready for that. When we get back, the chicken pen becomes the priority again so we can get our chickens out of LT's yard. ;)

The plants are growing, but we haven't gotten any more produce yet.

We have gotten enough rain I haven't needed to turn the sprinkler system on yet, and we managed to arrange a barter deal with our neighbors to mow our lawn in exchange for baked goods, so that's taken care of until we get the conversion finished.

I expect we'll make some more big steps soon, despite have more kids-in-the-house time during the summer, if only because a deer helped me total my car and so we'll have a check coming in about a month that can fund some more yard changes. Our current plan is to try NOT replacing the car, and see if we can just get gryphynshadow's car running well again and manage as a one car household.

So what's going on in your yards? Anybody got garden or patio plant updates to share? :)
