Good morning, Hive-ians! ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png The last of the Red Daylily Blooms blossomed this week, now we just need to collect the seeds for planting around our apple trees in the fall. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png We have been very pleased with our Bee Balm this year and are hoping it will spread out around the whole bottom of the apple tree its under over the next few years, that would so pretty. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png The lovely Smudge, grabbing a snack. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Every pepper plant we planted now have at least some peppers on them, and if we get as many peppers as there are flowers, we should not run out of sweet or spicy peppers this winterโ€ฆhopefullyโ€ฆbut if we do, that just tells us to plant more next year. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png My handsome husband is looking forward to trying the different spicy peppers, like these Gusto Italiaโ€™s. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Iโ€™ve seen some videos on YouTube talking about people and their chicken armies, well weโ€™ve got a chicken army too, but weโ€™ve also been working on our pigeon army as wellโ€ฆI think weโ€™re close to a full battalion now, LOL. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png This was the look on Smudgeโ€™s face when I told her she had to get the rest of her sunflower seeds out of my pocket. Priceless, LOL! ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Same look, different angle. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png I love this picture, sheโ€™s staring right at me while Iโ€™m talking to her, like sheโ€™s listening to every word Iโ€™m saying. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png My handsome husband had his share of friends pop over for a snack and chat with him this week too. Here he is with the young male squirrel that our elder grandson named โ€œJo-Joโ€ on his visit the week before. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Smudge taking a moment to watch the pigeons. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Itโ€™s been a busy baking week; this is the very active yeast from one of the batches of buns I made. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Mixing the dough together for some sticky buns. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png These sticky buns were gone within a few hours of making them, they were that tasty, but I managed to snap a photo after just a few had been eaten. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Some of our beautiful sunset colours this week. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png The second flock of pigeons arriving for their turn in the breakfast rotation. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Smudge sitting on my lap and chatting with the pigeons while she eats. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Smudge getting the seeds at the bottom of my pocket. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png We planted a few different colours of Daylily plants last year and this is the bloom from one of the Orangey/Yellow ones. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png If we get seeds from each of the flowers that look to be readying to bloom, we should have a nice supply of these to spread around for next year, too! ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Taking a break to watch the air show that the pigeons are putting on. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png There was a handsome Woodpecker working on the tomato trellis poles when I did my morning walk yesterday. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png That same male Woodpecker a few minutes later, right before it took off. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png One of our Cravens; (Crows and Ravens combined because I canโ€™t tell them apart,) stretching in their favourite tree. ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Is it just me, or does it look like this Daylily is dancing to anyone else? ๐Ÿ˜Š image.png Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! Iโ€™m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. ๐Ÿ˜Š God bless you all. ๐Ÿ˜Š Have an awesome week everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š image.pngimage.png Anyone else interested in a badge like this?
