Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Greetings, Friends!

How is your week so far?

Rain, wind, lightning, hail? All of that today stormed through! Whew! It was fast and furious, and hopefully all that rain watered our new transplants.

The boys are working hard to make us a covered sun porch. It seems like maybe that’s out of order, but we also need a place to store our lumber, so that will serve more than one purpose.

We have a couple updates over at the YouTube channel, including a quick one with the building project update.

Charlie and I heard a strange noise in the garden. It got to feeling a little spooky, and Charlie started acting strange.

When I pulled back the holy basil plants, here’s what we found.

Eastern box turtles

This explains the clacking sounds we heard. 🐢

Crazy, but finding out helped to ease my mind, and the cat’s too!

Have a great week!

Laurie

 

PS: Would you take a moment and pop on over and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel?  
That would be a huge help!  

Don’t laugh, but I have a GOAL OF reaching 1000 subscribers, which may take a bit, as right now I’m at 86, 😂. 

Slow and steady, right?  🐢 🐌 🦥 

Please let me know in the comments if I can return the favor!  I’ll happily subscribe to your channel too! 😊📺♥️
