- I am going to turn off the heat lamp on the chickens tonight. Last night, I heard them several times and they woke me up. Today they have been sleeping most of the day. They are around 3-4 weeks old today. I k now they will let me know if they are cold, but I enjoy my sleep way to much to have chickens wake me up!
- Speaking of chickens, the current topic for discussion/ debate… should I go ahead and purchase 2-3 more older chickens they will begin to lay eggs in the next couple of weeks? I can buy either a dozen eggs or a chicken at this point for the same price. I already have the everything to support the chickens so they would be the only expense. I am concerned about everyone getting along up front…….
- I have spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen today. I used 2 pounds of sausage and a dozen eggs to make up additional 9 breakfast today. I made up 25 omelet bags and 16 breakfast “hot pockets”
- We harvest enough apples from our apple tree to make a batch of apple butter! First real harvest from these trees that we planted several years ago!
- We have earned 3/4 the money we need to purchase a new sun shade for the beach next year by selling on Facebook marketplace. I also have several items listed on ebay so hopefully we can easily meet this goal.
- I have been sent several “free” offers this month. Including $20 at Belk’s, which I used Monday to purchase a sweater and holiday shirt. I have $20 for Lane Byrant which I am going to use either this week or next and $25 at Old Navy. Hoping for a few more for my birthday!
- I have been focusing on spending 15 minutes a day in the garden so that I don’t become so overwhelmed. Between Kendall and myself we have cleared the blueberry bed of weeds again. The garden beds are staying weed free as well. I have pulled up several squash and bean plants in order to clear out space for some fall gardening, I also with the help of Matt added dirt to a couple of beds! My goal is to plant on August 15th which is 2 months before our expected first frost date.
- Because the house has not had a good cleaning in several month. I told the kids that we are increasing the expectation to 8 chores a day for the next 2 weeks. The goal is to get everything super clean before heading back to school.
- 9 days of summer break left!
