2017

I am glad that 2017 is here.  I am not saying that I felt that 2016 was bad, just that I always look forward to a new year.  It's just always feels like a new beginning and a fresh start.

I have some plans for this blog this year, and I hope to be able to keep up with my plans.

Day 2 and 3

Hi,

Last two days have been crazy!

I do have to say that it is a nice busy, but still busy.  My chickens are producing like crazy!  In the last two days, my hens have laid 15 eggs.

Thirty Day Blog Challenge-- Day 1 Chickens

I plan to post each day of June.  I hope this will get me back into the habit of blogging. :-)

Today's post:  Chickens are laying again!


I have 10 hens of laying age and they are all now laying again after stopping during the winter.

I now need to look for more egg based recipes. :-)

School as been hectic

It has been hectic, but now that we are heading into SOL testing time.... hectic is not even close to it!


Weather is getting warmer and I can spend more time outside.  I also get to enlarge my chicken coop!  :-)

USDA Cost of Food at Home for December 2014

Below is what the USDA says we should be paying for food for my family each month:

$678.20 for the main four of us.  Which is way more that I currently spend each month.  Now if I add in my stepdaughter and her children, which we do provide the majority of meals for, then the cost would be $1,048.32.  I have NEVER spent that kind of money in groceries for a month.  This is mind blowing!
