Can you see the little guy in the grass? 
I was coming in from feeding the chickens and checking eggs and just happened on this little guy. He really blended in with the rocks and dirt, I don’t know how I managed to spot him in the path.
Good thing I did before the chickens! Tom seemed to think it was a tiny snapper. Jessalyn took him over to the nearby ditch and put him in. It is the first turtle we have had in a dozen years. Better keep an eye out for big mama!
Yard work seems endless when the weather is good. I have taken some material that was given to me and made a new canopy for our swing.
Guess it doesn’t show up as well as I thought. The next rainy day I will make matching seat covers for it. I like the way it looks between my wild rosebushes, but I think once the guys clean up where the pines fell, I will move it over to the side yard. We have a huge slide that Tom had picked up last year that needs to go up and I think that part of the yard will be a good spot for the recreation items and our swing. We have a burning circle set up there too for nighttime fires.
The daylilies are coming up so nicely this year. Big and thick. I hope the flowers are the same way. But, as you can see, I already have a problem with ants….


Who says that there is a shortage of bees? I see that they are out in full force this year. Maybe honey will be better?
