Well, since we have been "enjoying" soOoo much rain I was wondering what floats your boat in your bog! Show your water plants, your water feature, pond, waterfall, fountain or your water theme arrangement here!

Thanks for the boatride to the new thread Blossom. What a lot of rain we have had. At least this cuts down on watering eveything. Hope your DH gets better soon.

So glad to hear you are taking a lazy day off in the sunshine, just sit back and smell the roses or whatever you got there to smell. Now that the animals are tended to why not treat yourself to something here in the cafe (don't drive tipsy) and just prop up your feet and snooze in the sunny breeze! Wow, that sounds nice, hope it is sunny this holiday weekend although I already have a ton of chores lined up. Just plan to stay home away from the cabin so we don't have to work at 2 places for a change.

That poor lil pond dries up by August usually. I am amazed how the lilypads can survive, but they keep coming back!

Heres a birdnest down at the ponds side! Its in a wild willow and we think it is a baltimore oriels but are not sure.

Hi elle,
Goats can be a problem.

Also had sheep.
Want to get a few cows.
We had rain, now need dry!
Need to mow.
