Many of you know we are currently hosting 2 kids from Northern Ireland. It’s been a fun week honestly and it’s completely different than what we expected. Ok – 2 - 11 year old boys is very interesting to say the least but what FUN it has been. Even Joe stated he’d do this again because they seem to just slip right into life. Now 1 is a city type kids – and the chickens and all that is new you can see on his face. The 2nd one is just as fun to watch discover and see new things.
Well – we’ll see how much of the pumpkin patch gets done. The BEST grass grew over last years patch. Can’t grow grass this good anywhere else on the farm but Joe started plowing it all up yesterday. We are just so late with everything that who knows how much will go in – but we will try and pull it together.
At least the veggies are all coming up! Tomatoes are coming in – peppers are coming in….. everything is coming up!! What fun!! And I can’t wait to make pickles - I miss the fresh dill pickles I made last year – I ended up selling them all and I had only I think 2 jars.
Well I was going to butcher chickens today – but it was raining when I woke up. So it will have to be put off until later this week. Hopefully we’ll have a full fridge by our “Farm Market Day”
