I spied this peach tree in one of my chicken yards this summer. It was what is called a volunteer which means it just grow there up from a seed from another peach tree. I needed to transplant it to a better spot.
The tree is small and in front of the shovel with no leaves right now so it’s just right to transplant.
But first I needed to dig a hole for it so I did.
I was going into the chicken area to get some poo for the peach tree. They thought it was time to get into the front yard but it wasn’t and I didn’t give in. Too early into the front yard and they get into mischief like poo on the front porch.
poo
I filled a bucket with poo from under the roost.
Side tracked
I got some more soft soil together for the tree then got side tracked and walked over to my neighbors to check out a phone thing I said I’d do for her. She needs some new phone line run so she can get her router in the right place so she can use it around the house and the yard.
Turns out the phone box was up there so I’ll have to get a ladder. But not today. I checked out the rest of where I needed to run the new cable.
Get going
I sat down in the yard until the sun went behind the hill to my west and thought I better get that tree planted.
I shoveled dirt and poo back in the hole and got it done.
I’ll have to get some kind of wire fence around it’s base before I let the chickens back in this spot. They won’t eat the tree but they dig up the roots just scratching around looking for bugs.
Sky view
After I got the tree planted I sat in the yard to rest and enjoy the day. Looking up this was the sky view with the sun just over the hill to the right.
By now it was time to let the chickens into the front yard for an hour or so.
I’d delayed them and it was late so they weren’t there so I gave them a call and they came running.
Here they are just after running through the gate.
I did some more chair hopping and checked things out around the chicken pens as there’s always little things to do there, like check water, collect eggs, only four today.
Boy howdy they are raring to go!!! Too cute when they all run out to scratch in the dirt.

Header Pictures
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
Boy howdy they are raring to go!!! Too cute when they all run out to scratch in the dirt.
