Holiday Weekend, Some Planting and Various Random Things to Share

Hubs and I were both busy this weekend,  doing our own chores and helping each other with a few projects.  A couple of months ago hubs went to an auction and won a bid on this old tool tote full of clamps.

I talked him out of the tool tote and used it as a planter.

Hubs added this shelf to the side of the hen house for me.  I actually envisioned it much longer but it works at breaking up the side that does not have any windows and that is what I was asking for.  I might hang a couple more things on this side of the building before the end of the summer.  I'll keep my eyes opened for just the right things.

Another project hubs helped me with was to put these two pieces of re-bar into the ground so that I could build these tipsy pot towers.

If you would like to build some for yourself you can find the instructions here.
We dog sat for my mom-in-love's dog this weekend while she and father-in-love  took a trip to Texas to visit their daughter.  Meet Reggie:

I will say his favorite thing to do while he was here was to chase sticks and swim in the back pond.

He is some sort of cattle dog and he is older so he did not want to be bothered by our Bug.  This is where Ladybug spent a lot of time waiting because she will not jump in.

And this is what they looked like after drying out.

Along with quite a few other projects that I worked on I also went to a local flea market with my best-est friend Kris for a couple of hours.  Besides some Amish honey, cheese and chocolate peanut butter bars the only object I had to have was this egg basket.  If my chicken raising buddy Kim is reading, check it out!

In two or three more months I should be able to show it to you again filled with eggs!  All in all it was a busy and productive weekend which included giving thanks to God for the solders that have lost their lives for our freedom.  As always, thanks for coming by and many blessings!
