Well, I haven't written in awhile. We've been crazy busy with getting all the chicks outside, end of school year and start up of summer sports.
We did find we had a roster among our chickens and so when he reached maturity we got 'rid' of him. We aren't allowed rosters in the city. I have to admit eating a chicken from our backyard to a little adjustment mentally, but truthfully what a freeing experience to know everything your meat has been fed and that they weren't cooped up with a terrible life. Plus it did taste better!
Our little garden is growing very nicely. We've had three types of lettuce (I'll have to get all the names from my husband), but not bad. We've also had some squash. The hubby made some squash bread and it was amazing! I'm looking forward to getting my tomatoes and cucumbers! Oh and my strawberry bush has a couple of strawberries on it!
If someone would have told me five years ago my husband and I would be embarking on homeschooling our kids I would have been shocked. If someone would have said we'd be gardening, raising chickens and making some of our own household items--I wouldn't have believed them.
