This week, I am grateful to my hubby, who stayed on the farm to care for the dogs, 10 big chickens, and 15 two week old chicks. They aren’t cute anymore. In my week gone, they have tripled in size and become feather growing eating machines.
My son will enjoy the protein they provide on their 3 student budget.
I am thankful for the opportunity last week to help them out with laundry, cooking, and grandson time so they could settle into this year’s schedule with less stress.
Together, we explored 4 museums, the zoo, and the aquarium. Got in a pool afternoon, lots of reading and snuggling as we sat together in a big chair. He is a lefty, as am I, so I also taught him to tie his shoes.
For my garden, though the seaon is drawing to a close, I did harvest an 8 quart bucket nearly full of tomatoes and peppers that will be processed later for the winter fare.
And for my chickens who filled several dozen cartons while I was away. Two more of the girls finally figured it out and now we are getting green and pink eggs too.
Hopefully my knitting group will be in the market for some eggs this week.
Life is good on our mountain farm.
