Thursday, March 30, 2006 - Attention Homestead People |
Get a life! All you people ever talk about is the weather, your
animals, your gardens, and food. Then you talk about food some more!
It's crazy!
Wow! Was is beautiful this morning! I've been getting up earlier each
day to get ready for the time change this weekend. Normally I'm a late
riser, but this morning I was out to do the animal chores at 6:30 a.m.
The sun was shining, the birds were singing. If I wasn't half asleep, I
would have burst into song. 
SPRING SPRING SPRING! It's my favorite time of the year!
We're hoping to order our chicks and ducklings this week. We'll get
whatever the hatchery's minimum is. We pick ours up rather than
having them shipped (hatchery is only a 1/2-hour drive), so I think the
minimums are lower, aren't they? We're getting Rhode Island Red pullets
and some Muscovy ducklings for mosquito control.
In other
animal news: there's a ruckus going on in the barn this week - it's
time to wean those kids! They're not very happy about that, but I sure
am enjoying that extra quart a day of milk. The neighbors thought it
was my human kids making all that noise at our place this week, but I
had to tell them it was not.
I have not been out in the garden
yet, but I'm still hoping to plant some lettuce and peas (and maybe
spinach) around the second week of April.
My favorite home-cooked food of the week: black bean soup. Boy was it good! Sorry, I didn't save you any. 
My kefir grains have taken over the house. I can't believe how fast
that stuff grows. Kefir makes a great strawberry smoothie, but the bad
news is: we just used the last of the strawberries I froze last summer.
Now we have to hold our breath until the strawberries come out again in
June. 
Well, I'm off to do more SPRING stuff. Blessings!
Amey

| Was that meant to be funny or are you telling us to really get a life? I'm confused. |
