Chickens are happiness and I will never live without them again. Lydia Mae and our rooster Wakko. If you remember, in July we hatched 3 eggs in our incubator. Two turned out to be roosters so we named them Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. Well Yakko has established himself as boss man so Wakko will be going to another farm. I won't miss him that much though. He is a touch of a jerk - a cuddly jerk. This is how I make bread now and it is, no exaggeration, life changing. Guys when I first got married (and didn't know how to cook anything other than chicken) David suggested I learn to grind my own grain. I remember thinking that I wanted to but there was no way I'd become that skilled. I am pleased to announce: I am in fact, that skilled. Anyway, here's my grinder cranking put some flour for today's bread. Winter hats! I'm making the girls hats for the winter and I'm super excited about it. Haven't made hats in a year or two so this will be fun. Plus I'm using a pattern I've used before and I'm looking forward to the girls having matching hats. Last week David and I celebrated 10 years of marriage. We stayed at a wonderful bed and breakfast. All the other couples were shocked to learn we've already been married 10 years. Benefits of marrying young. Summer will be over next week and I am not emotionally prepared yet. At the same time it was 65 at my friends house the other morning and I was wildly jealous. I claim that summer is my favorite season, but evey year I look forward to winter just a little bit more. Fiona Rose with one of the newer hens, Dot. She is one of the three chicks we hatched from our incubator a few months ago. We got one hen and two roosters from that batch. Their names are Yakko, Wakko, and Dot. One of the boys will have to go though since I don't have enough hens for 2 roosters. And in case you were wondering, my starting goal was 4 laying hens. I now have 9 hens and 2 roosters. #noregrets The beach is cool, but seagulls are more fun to photograph. I bought a new dress and was feeling fancy. (And barefoot.)
