Pam's Perusal

As usual, I don’t have long to write, but I just wanted to tell you all “hey!” We have so much going on…you should see all the wonderful goodies that Kayla and I have canned lately - strawberry preserves (two different recipes,) peaches, peach preserves, spiced peach jam, hot peppers, pickles, and green beans. With the extra peaches, Kayla also made popsicles and fruit leather. Praise the Lord, the garden is doing very well! (The strawberries and peaches were purchased elsewhere.)
Our farm seems to ATTRACT animals…one day last week, Titus and Philip were out riding their new miniature horses, and they came home with an extra! An animal that looks like a cross between a mini horse and a donkey followed them home. (I’m calling it a miniature mule!) We have tried in vain to locate its owner…Of course, I think it’s adorable, and I hope it just stays here! I have visions of training it to pull a cart…
Then, Fiona (my dog) tried to catch a baby rabbit, but Dave rescued it…so it now resides in our kitchen and goes by the name of Peter (Rabbit.) It is SO cute and will soon be released far away from Fiona!
Last Thursday and Friday, we put our first round of chickens in the freezer - not a pleasant job, but well worth the effort! We’ve been out of chicken for a while (we don’t do store-bought,) so we are extremely happy to have some now! We have our own feed recipe mixed for these birds, they are rotated to fresh pasture twice a day, and they live a wonderful happy life until they fulfil their purpose. This great care makes for really good food…and I know good food!
