Today is the last day of fair. The 4-H'ers are getting ready for the sale and the livestock are headed to market. Important lessons are being taught today. Hard work and determination, and having your work pay off. Not only that, they are learning about how quality meat is raised, treated, and produced in our local markets. We had a pretty good turn out with our lambs between the lambs from our farm, and the kids in our 4-H club. Always room for improvement though, but we are pretty proud of them.
On another note, the chickens are still learning to lay in the nesting boxes...and making me angry. We are hoping to get rid of a few roosters this weekend, thinking this may help our odds. We are still only getting about a half dozen eggs per day. And----with all of this rain...the roof is leaking. Yes, the infamous chicken coop. Although we "finished it", we did not complete the product. The roof is still not shingled. If the weather holds out, maybe we can get that done too. We also need siding but I guess we can wait a little bit for that yet.
From the kitchen side of things, the cooler weather has definitely put me in the mood to cook. Last weekend I made 5 loaves of bread for the freezer, and shortly after that I made this beautiful french toast casserole as well. Thank you chickies for the eggs!
My next project: Pumpkin Spice Latte! Get ready fall...here I come!
