Growing Garden, Growing Chicklets

I have been trying to blog for several days and for some reason, have not been able to upload photos to my blog?  Anyone else have that trouble.  I am using a different browser this time.  My garden is growing in leaps and bounds.  I have been using cilantro, spinach, and herbs. 

We will be having fresh zucchini soon.

The zucchini and yellow squash box is full of foliage and blooms.

All of the new seeds I planted a few weeks ago have sprouted now.  The tomato plants are huge and loaded with green tomatoes.

The other day I got a package in the mail from a sweet friend that I met through blogging.   She was out thrifting and found these two signs and felt that they were perfect for me!  What a thoughtful gesture Debbie!!!  I love them both!!!!   Your package made my day!!!

These are so cute!  I put the knitting one in my sewing room.  The bird watcher sign went out in the garden.

I hope we can get together soon Debbie!!  Thank you so much!  I will think of you whenever I see these signs!!
My chicklets are growing like crazy.  I have one that is the funniest looking thing I have ever seen.  She has this topnotch on her head that is growing feathers like a Mohawk!   This is Ella.

I have never seen such a thing?  She is a Lakenvelder.  Hope it isn't a Roo!!!  The other girls are all growing and healthy.

I will give them a couple more weeks to feather out, and then they will graduate to a bigger temporary house outside, where I can still use the heat light at night. 
One day last week I popped into Joann's and while flipping through some magazines, I came upon a photo of some embroidery done on a pair of denim jeans.  Actually, I think it was done a denim jacket.  But I took a picture of it with my phone, and came home and put a hoop on my jeans and got busy.  Mind you, I have not done a lick of embroidery since I was in high school, when it was popular to stitch little things on our clothes.  I remember doing my pockets and some cuffs on chambray shirts.  I only know a few stitches, but I sure had fun doing this.  And if you know me, you know I LOVE my coffee!!!  I love the way it turned out, even if it is a wee bit wonky.  I did it free hand.  A pattern might have been  helpful.

Yesterday we went to my Mom's to celebrate my Mom and my niece Deanna's birthdays.  I put my battery of my camera on to charge, and then left the house forgetting it!  Sheesh.  It has just been a bit of a rough go lately around here.  I NEVER forget my camera!  So I don't have any pictures to share with you of our fun afternoon on the lake at Mom's.   She had quite a crowd there!   We feasted on BBQ from Wood Ranch, and enjoyed boat rides, and cake, and good fun.   Thank  you Mom!  And Happiest of Happy to you and Deanna both!!!!
That's it for today.  I  hope I can get my usual browser working, so that posting will be easier.  This worked, but it was not my usual method, and not very speedy.
Hope you all have a good week.  Supposed to start getting pretty warm here!!!
