Thank goodness for the warming trend! It might not be here in full-bore, but Spring is rolling in slowly, YAY! Yesterday was a great day, sunny and on the warmer side. Jason and I went around the yard collecting all the yuckies that ended up under the snow. Some of them ended up there due to our lovely pooch, Amos. Anyway, it was super to be out, and the chickens are definitely loving there days touring the yard! Another benefit of spring, it cuts down on the consumption of their feed, as they forage most of the day. I think I need to make a Chicken Crossing sign for our yard. They like picking at the gravel on the roadsides.
I also attended a meeting for the Auburn Farmers Market the other night. I will be selling chicken and eggs, later on turkey too and hopefully throwing in a few veggies! I will be there Thursdays from 7 to 2! That will be starting July 7th, and going thru the end of October.
I have so many things that I would like to start doing in addition to my poultry projects...I have started making my own laundry soap, and it works great! It's so cheap and lasts quite a while, and is eco-friendly!! I would like to get into making soap. I have been doing a lot of research on that, but haven't took the plunge yet...and sewing, been doing a lot of that lately! Not just quilting, but sewing other things too, and getting consumed by it! I have been reading a lot of blogs, looking at tutorials and all sorts of things. They are really inspiring! There is really a lot of talented people out there.
Back to the animals, I really hope that we can start raising some pigs too! Our family has had the good fortune of fresh meat this past year, and it has been wonderful. It really makes me not want to have to rely on the grocery stores for meat. Besides that fact that it has saved us a ton of money, it tastes soooo much better!! We will see how things go...life is always a journey!
