November is here!

And with it rain!

We never got a call back on the apples last week, bummer. I did get twenty chickens butchered. I was going to finish the rest today but the weather was cold, rainy, and windy and it was pretty easy to talk myself into procrastinating, lol. It is so great to have rain though we haven't had any since the beginning of October and that wasn't much.
We don't have any exciting homestead projects coming up, things are slowing down for the winter I suppose.

I spent most of today dinking around online and working on homeschool stuff. I inventoried some books and did my tracking for last week and planning for next.


We have three birthdays coming up this month. Elizabeth will turn 4, Alyshia 17 and Micheal 2. Micheal is so cute. His latest funny thing is to say, "I don't know", when I say, "where's Micheal". It is so funny. Miriam will turn 6 next month. My birthday is in December too, I actually had Miriam on my birthday. Rob and Randy are the outsiders with a summer birthdays.

When I get off the computer I am going to tend to my home management binder, it needs some upkeep. Then start dinner. I think I should get started.

Happy Homesteading!
