That's right, we've placed an order for some baby chicks and cannot wait to have them here! We've ordered (all pullets): 2-Black Australorp and 1 Dominique as an early birthday present for our almost 10 year old. Now it's time to set up the brooder and plan out the chicken coop...wow, this almost feels like being pregnant and nesting!!
Now onto the harvest...canning, freezing, dehydrating..oh my! We've been blessed with a couple of bushells of squash, several sugar pumpkins (to can), 2 bushells of apples,150 lbs of wheat berries, 150 lbs of potatoes, 25 lbs of onions and 20 lbs of carrots....oh and another 4 bushell of corn for the freezer. I'm exhausted just thinking of the work to be done over the next couple of days, but feel sooo blessed to have this bounty of fruits and veggies for our family. We're also going to re-stock our supply of dried beans and brown rice to make sure we have plenty for the winter. Between the winter/economy, I think it would do a person good to make sure they have something set by for harder times....I know my husband has heard rumors of layoffs at work...and he works at the railroad! Supposedly one of the most secure jobs you can hold! Luckily, we have nothing to fear......we know our Lord will provide for us and get us through tough times !
Be blessed...

Baby chicks that is! 
For the brooder, we've been blessed with a 100 gallon aquarium with cover and heat lamps (Yay!!) and it'll be in the bathroom (a huge room with lots of wasted space!) My Dad's a carpenter and he's offered to help with the coop....I'm soo excited! LOL
