We did some winterizing on the chicken coop. Installed a light on a timer and a coop door. They had been using the large sliding doors but the temps are suppose to be a lot cooler the next couple of nights. I gave the girls a pan of yogurt and some boiled eggs, they ate every bit up. Cleaned out their water and added some apple cider vinegar. I think they are happy. They have been able to free range during the weekends and they love it. When I get home from work, I will let them out until dark.
The bread turned out lovely. We had a pork roast with carrots and onions and a side of french cut beans (homemade) with bacon bits. For desert we had an apple crisp with ice cream.
LJ is our rooster.
Hi Carmi!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for dropping by and leaving your helpful comments! We don't belong to Costco...but do belong to a Sam's Club. Perhaps they too have bulk flour?
It's so great that you visited me...I actually visited you this morning, but didn't have time to comment...it was 6 AM and I had to get little people up for school. (Our children go to parochial school and start at 7:50 unlike their public school friends that start at 8:50. Doesn't that sound so late!) Anyway, I had planned to come back to visit and comment b/c I loved your breads rising and your chickens!!!
We currently live in a subdivision, but it is located in a 1-stoplight town in Kansas and our HOA/town allows chickens. I think 2 per home... I'm so excited to check it all out and perhaps get some laying hens.
Again, thank you. I'm going to start following you b/c I see that you are also a quilter. This is also on my "bucket list". My husband's grandmother is the quilter in our family and she has made us so many beautiful keepsakes. I just discovered 2 quilt shops close to my town and now I'm really ready to learn!
Have a great Monday,
Valerie
