- Countdown to Summer!
5 weeks till Lily’s High School Graduation!
5 weeks of school for the kids and 5 weeks and 3 days until my Summer Break!
60 days till we go to the beach! - We are all ready for the newest chickens to move outside. Last weekend, Lucky the rooster escaped! This evening they have knocked over the water so much that the cardboard box is mushy and the floor is wet! They should move outside full-time next week!
- I am starting to organize and prepare for canning this summer. I have been slowly purchasing jars since October. I have been lucky enough to find on sale at Walmart, Target and Tractor Supply for around $1 a jar including rings and lids. I was hoping to pick up some jars used but they are at least $2 a jar so today on Walmart, I found an ordered 3 dozen pint jars and 3 dozen quart jars. One of my goals for tomorrow (Saturday) is to get the canning closet organized and cleaned!
- This weekend is probably the least busiest one in a long time. We do have several small projects to complete but the goal is to rest and prepare for the busiest week of the school year!
- We tried one of the new recipes that I was hoping to use to stock the freezer this summer and it was a bust. No flavor!
