A garden that needs lots of weeding!

For those of you with gardens without weeds I hope you don't croak when you see this picture! I debated about posting this picture as I know it isn't something to be proud of. But, be sure to check out the progress below!
Here is our nephew, Michael - he has been working hard with me!

This is what it looks like after we weeded

Am I just fat?

Is Mary pregnant??

Pregnant or just wide and healthy??!

We are trying to figure out if our goat is indeed pregant or just wide and healthy. That is what I read recently while I was trying to find out the longest gestation for a goat. Goat owners are asked when the goat is going to kid and they say she just kidded last week! I'm going to post a few pictures I took yesterday of Mary. Would you guess she is pregnant, or just wide and healthy??! Behind her are her two does she had last year. Miriam is in front and Melody busy grazing!

Come follow me and see what I've been doing!

We are all keeping busy here. Over the weekend Ken was weed wacking, Janessa was mowing and Dad was sweeping up after her! Hmmmm...what was Pam doing? Taking pictures!
I also weeded a little in the garden, and mulched with the grass clippings that Dad gathered up. As you can see parts of our lawn are pretty dry, we need more rain! But, with all the lack of rain you can still see in the other pictures how green everything is and how high the grass is growing. Our team effort was good and we got some yardwork done!

I'm being followed!

Here Dad is busy sweeping up the yard after Janessa mows so we can use the grass clippings for mulch in the garden. So who is chasing who?!

Keeping busy on the farm!

A job well done!

Our new bars will say Goat Milk on them!

Here is the most recent batch of soap. I just got the 8-bar tray that says Goat Milk. I think I'm going to like these for our soaps. I figure since I put all Goat Milk and no water in my soap why not have it on the bars. They are easy to cut apart which makes it nice.

Bigger soap display

We had one of the local stores that is selling our soap ask for a larger display. This is what I brought to them last week. Yesterday I had to bring more soap as they just keep selling it!

Fragrant Tree - what is it??

I don't ever remember this tree blooming. The last few days as I've been walking past my Dad's camper into Ken's work trailer I keep smelling something very sweet! This morning I discovered it was the tree! Does anyone know what kind of tree this is?

Lilies

This is my second year for my lilies. They are so colorful. We have a couple more plants that we are waiting for them to bloom. The star gazer lily was so pretty last year, I hope it blooms again this year!

4th of July Parade

Today we went through our local parade advertising for our soap business. My Dad let us drive his truck through. Here he is sitting in the truck as we are waiting for the parade to begin. We had banners on both sides and our daughter and a couple friends walked behind and threw candy. I walked and handed out candy and business cards. We'll see if the free advertising helps to sell the soap in the seven stores that have it now.
