Country School

It's Friday

I can't believe it's Friday.  This week has absolutely flown by.  We've been busy with housework and appointments.

Last night my son found that more muscovy ducks had hatched so I'll be taking them in to Portland today to our buyer.  We still have more ducks on more eggs.  It's also time to process some of our old chickens and our ducks that are ready for butcher now.  That will thin down the herd some.  Our new chickens will start laying now as we removed the 3rd year chickens.  We get a new batch of chickens every year and just remove the oldest ones that no longer lay.

The county fair is getting closer and closer.  We have to kick it in to high gear now and make sure everyone has their paperwork complete, clothing ready, poster and reports also need to be finished up.

It looks like today might be a little cooler which would be a nice change.  Except I'm not going to be home to enjoy it.  We have some things we need to take care of in Portland and Vancouver that will put me home late tonight. 

This weekend is thrift shop time.  Yesterday I took Jason to open his first checking account.  He wants to purchase a case for his bass guitar and also buy himself some clothes at our favorite thirft shop if we can get there this weekend. 

I'd better make sure everything is ready to go out the door as we are leaving in a few.

Hey,

Sounds like you had a nice time at Creation Fest! It's really neat that you were able to get in for free in exchange for volunteering..

Good luck on prepping for the fair,

Emily
