Has it really been two months since I last posted? Where has all that time went and what did we do during it? Alot of things happened and I will recap really fast:
- we sold the lambs to a family who wants them to shear their fleece for yarn making; while they were cute and fun, lambs are not for me
- we moved the pig from the shop to the outside pen, this proved to be very hard and difficult and I have learned in the future I will most definitely do this before they become to big for me to handle
- I discovered that my turkeys were all toms, what great luck on my part, so I traded one in part for two hens and paid the difference. We will be butchering one soon and then keeping the other two toms and hens for breeders
- The garden is being invaded by deer, such a great waste, we purchased some AWESOME fencing material at a sale last week-end for a deer proof garden next year.
- We have sold over 300 pounds of pear with more to sell this week, we have been blessed with all the pears
- I canned 35 jars of salsa last week - all different sizes of jar, mostly pints though
- Perhaps the biggest change in recent light was all three kids are once again enrolled in public education, we will see how this works out this year and base next year's decisious on this year
