Peaches, Blackberries and a Happy Hen

Thought I post some pictures of some more stuff growing and living around my house.

I posted a few months ago a picture of my dad's peaches growing but they where mostly green then. Here is new pictures of them, bigger and starting to ripening. There is also some blackberry bushes close to our garden that has berries on them. I took a few pictures of some of the berries for you to see.

Also there's a small gray chicken in our yard. It's one of my brother's chickens. It decided to come from next door at his house to live down here with us. My mom feeds it bird seed from time to time and it's seems to be a very nice and happy little hen. I usually name the chickens that hang out in my yard. I need to think of a name for her. I named the last two hens "Thelma & Louise" from the movie with the same name, that use to come by here to hang out.

Pumpkin Flowers & Climbing Gourds

It's been almost a month since I last showed you pictures of my pumpkin plants.

Thought I'd update you all on the stuff I planted for this fall. As you can see my pumpkins patch now has flowers in it. Some of the pretty yellow flowers have pumpkins coming out of them and I happened to take a few pictures of a happy little bumble bee in them. I'm also happy see there getting palliated. Wish I would of took time to take pictures of the flowers when they at there prettiest.

There been a few signs of deer near by, I hope they stay out of the garden.

My gourd vines are growing high too. A friend of mine already has some nice sized gourds on her vines. I hope to see the same on mine too very soon...Matt

Blooms in the Pumpkin Patch

I have blooms in my pumpkin patch. :-) Hope this means I'm going to have lots of pumpkins this fall. I'm afraid that the geese might eat them but I hope they don't because I'd really like to have my own pumpkins this fall. They already ate my first watermelon bloom. :-( I heard my brother plans on selling the baby geese.

Here some pictures of the growing pumpkin blooms and a picture of some the pumpkin patch in the garden.

Fun in the Pool

I said it another post that I'd post a picture of the pool when it's filled up with water, so here's a picture. I've been in it about three times so far. The water has been kind of cold the times I got in it but hopefully it will get warmer as Summer goes on. I been playing in it with my two year old nephew. He loves to walk in it and shot me with a water gun that I got him.

Hornet Nest

My mom showed me this today, It's a hornet's nest that was on a corner of our front porch. My dad said he killed the hornet yesterday and it had lots of eggs on it. I'm glad he did, I hate all bees except honey bees. I really hate hornets because they are so mean.

I remember when I was a kid, I had a apple tree by my house and my family had to watch where we stepped because the hornets on the fallen apples would fly up at us and try there best to sting us. I was stung a few times and there stings made us swell up like you where hit by a big rock or something. I've always had a fear of bees.

Filling up the Pool on Father's Day

Got are small pool out today and having it filled up with water as I type this blog entry.
With temps. in the 80's & 90's it sure fills like summer. I got to get some relief from this heat, maybe this will help. It was a lot of work cleaning it from useing it last year. I'll try to post another picture out it when it full...Matt
