We have some pretty and interesting wildflowers this time of year.

That's a good move, saving money and controlling what goes into your body!
Do it! Restore the family tradition! And I'm pretty excited about it from a permaculture perspective! And I'm super excited about it from a herbalist perspective.
Will do!
Good to know! I grew up without anyone who smoked/ used tobacco around me so tobacco was completely foreign to me. Thanks
I wouldn't mind a weed like that either! It's gorgeous 😍
Hopi Tobacco, it's a new one for me this year. I don't smoke but it has good medical value and supposedly keeps the pests away. I started some in a mix of compost and our native soil but I'm going to also try starting some in just our native soil since we live in Hopi territory.
Medicinally it is good for parasites and to use as a poultice on bug bites and stings for relief as well as an anti-inflammatory.
If it works as a pest repellent then I'll be planting it around our garden every year regardless of if I need to replenish my apothecary.

Our lab loves the water too! He will swim until we have to pull him out. Our Border Collie on the other hand only wants to swim if he has his life jacket on, it's hilarious to watch him want nothing to do with the water until he has it on and then he'll jump right in.
Oh yes, that and thinking he's a 90lb lap dog! He's such a good boy, we love him.
Don't judge, we're tired and yes we used paper plates but the quail was delicious! We wanted simple so just the quail, onion, garlic and butter with a little bit of seasoning. I've never had quail but I'm a fan and am super motivated to get some on our homestead soonish! Plus pickled quail eggs are amazing!

Today my husband went and did an electrical job diagnosing an issue with a guys diy solar system and he was paid in part with quail the guy had butchered the day before! I'm so excited as quail will be one of our first animals on our homestead. He's now cooking a few up with onion, garlic and butter. He's so excited to have quail since it's been about 20 years since he had it last.
We're working on not only building his business but also developing community. We now have a local source for purchasing quail when we're ready for them! I'll post another pick of them done! We'll grill the rest later this week.

The lab is just enjoying the warmth of the sun on a beautiful day!

Now I've had Mexican style sushi from a food truck in Tucson, but not sushi and tacos...
Finally planted the last two beds that are done!
We were going to borrow our friend's tractor today but my husband was called into work, so we will hopefully be able to borrow it later this week.

Let us know if it works!
Your property is so beautiful! My brother and his girlfriend are looking at moving to Houston, I'll pass you place along to them!
My husband ended up having a few jobs after church today to help some people get their solar systems back up and running, so this is our view this afternoon. Sometimes it's hard to believe we're in Arizona!
