A lovely grand opening celebration at our little library this afternoon. The new addition has been under construction for what feels like years, and it’s so nice to see it completed! I took the girls - we dressed up, and they beelined for the refreshments. 😬 They were the only children there, and everyone was so gracious...until Beans decided to hide in a closet, loudly. We only made it 30 minutes, but at least I got to see some of the art.
Day 13 of #harvestonthehomestead - find the jar! 😳 I think I need to tidy that shelf a bit. I’ve got oodles of jars but rarely can, mostly because I don’t ever get enough of anything to make it worth heating all that water. I do freeze in jars though - applesauce, berries, peaches, cider - and haven’t ever had a jar break. And I store dry goods in the big jars - rice, popcorn. #balljars #canningjars
We lost our Marigold yesterday, my favorite chicken, our Chicken Dog who would follow us around and let us snuggle her and jump up into the car when the door was opened. We found her dead in the coop before dinner - poor Beanie found her, actually, when she went to collect eggs. Not a mark on her, no blood, no sign of broken bones or struggle. Old age perhaps - we adopted her from a family who was downsizing way back in our first year of chicken keeping, so she was at least 4, maybe older. Hard to know, but this one hit us hard. 💛 #chickendog #marigold #backyardchickens #deathonthehomestead
