What an crazy week!  4-H stuff, birthday celebrations, new chicks, and trying to freeze the insane amount of zucchini and green beans coming from the garden are the things that took up most of my time.  We ordered homeschool curriculum for the girls as well, and that got me very excited to start school in a few weeks!

We ended the week with Jo’s 11th birthday party, and she is over the top excited about her present.  We told her she could find and adopt a puppy.  She has been wanting one of her own for YEARS, and being the responsible young lady that she is we figure it’s a good time for a potentially life changing new addition.  Now, the task of finding the RIGHT puppy!

Here is our week in photos….

Jo made a poster for the Cornish Cross chicken she is taking to the fair.  She took it to the 4-H meeting and did a demonstration about these chickens.  This was all her idea!

Mary did her 4-H demonstration on chocolate covered fruit.  The strawberries were the most popular!

More beautiful sunsets this week!

4 Golden Buff, 4 White Leghorn, and 4 Golden Laced Wyandotte arrived on Wednesday morning.  All healthy and happy and cute, cute, cute!  I always forget how ever so tiny they are.

I’ve been trying to get back into the habit of baking all our bread again.

I’m going to start grating zucchini in my sleep….

I became very impatient and HAD to pick one of my watermelon.  It has got to be ripe by now, right?

NOPE……darn it!  (the chickens enjoyed it very much though)

So excited to see hundreds of busy honey bees in my corn rows!

Have a great week everyone!
