Happy Happy Birthday!!!

 

Hope you have a great day Cody.

Eggs

 

Our hens are really starting to produce. This is from the last three days. The most, so far, in one day is 20 eggs from 28 hens. There are 25 new layers and 3 that we have had for a few years. The oldest hen we have is a gray banty. She is probably 5 years old. Leigh sells most of the eggs at school. I sell some to my classmates. Two fifty a dozen. Not a bad deal for fresh eggs.

The Mullet

I'm sorry to report that Barry Melrose got fired as Coach of the Lightning. I am hoping he will go back to ESPN and talk hockey. I put him right up there with Don Cherry.

Squash Dog

Leigh's sister Lesley is in town for a few days from Colorado. She came bearing gifts. As you can see by the pictures it is a fun gift.

Making Cider

 

 

 

 

Leigh and I pressed some of the apples we had picked a couple weeks ago. Leigh would cut the apples in half and put them in the hopper of the grinder. I then ground the apples up. Not very fine-actualsly quite chunky. The ground up apple fell into a cheesecloth type bag that was held by the round part of the press. That goes under the press and viola.....cider. Very delicious.
