We now have a sunflower that is blooming. It seems to be way ahead of all the rest of them. I thought they would be about 4-5 feet tall but they are only like 2 feet tall, if that.
Think I shall go let the chicks out for a while. Let them run around for an our or so.. And pray they don't get lost in the yard.
Neck still hurts. Been hurting bad for about five days now. August 3d can't get here soon enough.

Garden is coming along GREAT!!
Just about ready to pick a bell pepper in the garden. Its the biggest pepper I have ever gotten in the garden. There are also some zucchinis growing and should be ready to pull in a few days. Spinach is coming up good too.
Took the little chicks out today to run in the yard for a few minutes. Still a bit cold for them, yet. they aren't fully feathered yet, so will still have to wait a week or so...
With the quail, I am pretty sure there are 4 males and one female i this batch. not even close to the #s I wanted. I was hoping for 5 females. Oh well. Might try again next year. then again, we might be done with quail. We'll see, I guess.

Camping, chickens, and eggs
So, after camping for a week up on mount rainier, I am back. Yesterday, Lauren and I canned 33 pounds of cherries. Well, it was more like 30 pounds because I ate a LOT on the way home.
And today, I made a peach pie and an apple pie. Tanya is taking them to the ocean with her for her sorority sisters. i hope she has some left to bring back home. But I am betting there won't be any.
I think in about a week or so, we will be able to let the 2 younger chickens out and let them live with the older ones. Not sure if they are male of female yet. I'm hoping they are female, of course. Because its the eggs we are after.
The baby quail are not so baby now, either. I think there are 4 males and a female. that would suck. Because I really don't want only 2 females and 5 males. Again, its all about the eggs. Garden is coming along great. chickens will get locked up in their own little pen on or about the 1st of August. Then, we will have no more chicken bombs on the back porch.
