I literally have no idea where the winter has gone. All of the sudden it feels like spring and I'm supposed to be doing spring things but I haven't done the things I'd planned to do through the winter. I think life must go faster in your 30's.
So anyway. Its ridiculous that I haven't blogged since I butchered the pigs. The pork is delicious by the way! Here are young chickens I hatched in November. I had 23 eggs sitting on my counter that I couldn't be bothered to wash and put in the fridge so I put them in the incubator instead. 17 of them hatched. My roosters are earning their keep. Unfortunately, most of these birds are roosters. Which means I will have some chicken in my freezer in another month or so.
Last weekend I'd planned a brunch for friends at my house. I took out this 12 pound bag of pork to grind up for sausage patties.
The first Australorp to hatch in a batch of 39 eggs the kids and I drove down to Duncan to acquire.
Saturday night(the night before the big brunch) one of my kids woke up with the flu. She barfed all over her dog. Dexter wasn't quite sure what to do with himself covered in barf. I gave him a bath and he felt somewhat better.
More chicks hatching!
Today is a day off from work. I decided that rather than 'waste' it I needed to get some stuff done. Its not very often I actually accomplish what I write on my list but I did it and more. My house is still a pig sty but my list didn't say anything about cleaning the house.
Fuzzy butts on their way out to their cozy new home in the barn.

So I guess that's about it. My next big project is fencing a chunk of the yard for the chickens to have safe free ranging away from the dogs when I'm not home. One day all the things will be done.
