Last night, I heard them several times and they woke me up.\u00a0 Today they have been sleeping most of the day.\u00a0 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!<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of chickens, the current topic for discussion\/ debate&#8230; should I go ahead and purchase 2-3 more older chickens they will begin to lay eggs in the next couple of weeks?\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I am concerned about everyone getting along up front&#8230;&#8230;.<\/li>\n<li>I have spent quite a bit of time in the kitchen today.\u00a0 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 &#8220;hot pockets&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>We harvest enough apples from our apple tree to make a batch of apple butter!\u00a0 First real harvest from these trees that we planted several years ago!<\/li>\n<li>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.\u00a0 I also have several items listed on ebay so hopefully we can easily meet this goal.<\/li>\n<li>I have been sent several &#8220;free&#8221; offers this month. Including $20 at Belk&#8217;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.\u00a0 Hoping for a few more for my birthday!<\/li>\n<li>I have been focusing on spending 15 minutes a day in the garden so that I don&#8217;t become so overwhelmed.\u00a0 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.<\/li>\n<li>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.<\/li>\n<li>9 days of summer break left!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am going to turn off the heat lamp on the chickens tonight.
