The new henhouse seems to be working out just fine for my little darlings! Of course it can house up to thirty hens and I've only got five! I told my Dad we'd have to wait on a rooster to see how I would do with the chickens I have before adding more :) I hope they turn out to be good layers - we go through a lot of eggs in this household. Especially in the winter when I bake tons more than the summer!
Speaking of baking, this is my new venture into the world of cupcakes - vanilla cake with strawberry pudding filling, topped with a kiwi buttercream frosting. The cake turned out a little dry and the filling overly sweet but the kiwi buttercream was A W E S O M E !!!
Another new venture in preserving...mock zucchini marmalade - and it's really delicious!
My Roma tomatoes are really coming on - I just love fresh homemade tomato sauce!
Foggy (and cold) night at the beach Tuesday. We still managed to have a really great time!
Wild man's newest activity!
Have a great day everyone!

Love the pics and info! We have been talking about getting some chickens! I'd love to hear more about the care and so forth!
ReplyDelete"Mock" Zucchini Marmalade - Please, please tell me more. I love zucchini and I have friends who grow theirs really, really big. I need a recipe that will utilize the incredible size. I think this might be it!
ReplyDeleteOh - I love, love, love the hen house. Your wild man makes me wish I could become as a little child again - tonka trucks, hillsides and all!
