Busy week
Posted By Elaine on July 18, 2009
Well, hopefully we will have a lazy Sunday and bask in the glory of all the Lord’s blessings. We have been so busy this week. Quinn has been at his real job way too much lately. He was supposed to be off today but could not pass up the opportunity of overtime. After I was done grooming the boys and I went up to the flea market on 41 to see what all was there. Save one cool toy there was not much of interest to us there today.
Peaches
The peaches we picked at the orchard were starting to really get ripe and were so delicious I tried to make….you guessed it! Jam.
Jam cookin
I made 4 batches of peach jam and still have at least 2 more to go. I have also made two cobblers with those peaches.
Peach jam
I guess Heaven Scent Farms is now in the jam business. I have 8oz. jelly jars for $4.50 or Pint jars for $8 in Peach and Blackberry. Just drop me a line if you would like a jar…or three.
We got another egg from Victoria this afternoon and one of the little black hens looked like she was entertaining the idea. Hopefully we will be in the egg business soon. I know all of my grooming clients and neighbors cannot wait for farm fresh eggs. I hope they are serious because we are about to be covered up in eggs.
Our Border Collie, Bullet, is still on restriction from the chickens due to a “minor misunderstanding”, to hear him tell it. I had let the chickens out that afternoon to forage for bugs and one of my clients was there picking up his crew. I heard a squabble and looked over to see Bullet with a little black hen in his mouth! I could not believe it! We are working on aversion therapy right now and it is working successfully at the moment. Hopefully it will continue to be successful. He claims he is innocent and that she jumped into his mouth but I am not buying it.
Y’all come back now!
