Chicken's , Fishing and a cup of coffee

I sold all my bee keeping supplies Saturday, I had posted the ad on Craigslist last Monday and was contacted by the gentleman that taught me how to keep bee's. I hated to sell them but have not had enough time to take care of them properly. At some point in the future I will keep bee's again.

Kenny Ray and I drove to Germantown to pick up another 60 chickens and 3 turkey's. I have been lucky this spring has I have had no chicks die on me yet , knock on wood.I have 40 chickens scheduled to butcher the 3rd of June, and another 50 that are ready to moved out of the brooder and onto pasture. Yesterday I went and burrowed a cup of coffee from my Aunt Carmie she is 87 years old, I believe. I love to visit and talk about the old days as I always learn something about my family history. I took her some parts of a book that I have started about all the stories that I have been told threw the years and everything that I remember. She is going to read and fill in anything that I may have remembered wrong.

Tari went with Kenny Ray and me down to the farm yesterday afternoon, we had to get the mail and mow the grass. My mother and sisters are going down next weekend for a week to decorate my Dad's grave and relax for a few days. I took down some fishing poles and tackle and left for the kids to use. I mowed around the pond while Kenny Ray and Tari fished, Tari hooked a catfish I believe and it snapped her line into, the fish took bobber and all. For the next hour or so

we watched for the bobber as it would appear and disappear always moving and wandering was at the other end as we never did see what kind of fish it was. They caught several fish a couple of bass and some nice bluegill and one big catfish that Kenny Ray caught. I have started eating out of my garden this week I have some lettuce and radishes the other night as well as some green onions. I think I will have Tari fix some soup beans this week with some wilted lettuce and corn bread. Well it's time for another cup of coffee and the sun is coming up it is time to get another day started and thank God for another day on this side of the grass.
