Good morning, Steemians! š
Itās been another whirlwind of a week here on the homestead. (We were blessed with a friend with a truck being able to take us on a feed and grocery run. We hadnāt gone out for groceries since January and our stocks were low. That took up the better part of an afternoon, but it was a lot of fun to hang out with them while we did it.) I love that the turkeys donāt mind me being out among them during my morning walks. They are so neat to watch. š
Iāve been trying to add to my skills list. I spent a lot of time working on, tearing apart, and reknitting this much. I should have a scarf for one of my grandchildren by Christmas. LOL! š
The hatchlings have started getting their tail feathers this week, theyāre so cute. š
We had another snowstorm this week, but we also got some amazing sunset colours tis week, too. š
Chilling with my friends. š
Strutting. There are so many Toms here now, Iāve lost count. š
This is Star. š
We still canāt be certain how many hens/roosters weāve got, but weāre looking forward to seeing whoās what and what their feathered colourings will be. š
Weāre working on getting them all used to being handled, so they donāt get overly stressed when it comes time for them to go outside. It gives us a chance to look them all over and try to find distinguishing marks, so we can tell them apart, too. š
Iām sure youāve heard the term ādog pileā, well this is a āchick pileā, LOL! š
Once theyāve assumed the chick pile position, it doesnāt take them long to all fall asleep. š
My handsome husband and some of his work crew looking over the garden, to discuss the scratching efforts of the team so far, and they all agreed it looked good, but could always use a bit more. š
One of our Toms was still sleeping up in the tree and I managed to catch him before he woke and glided down. š
Iāve been blessed to see this pretty show almost every day this winter. š
Iāve tried to make baked beans in the past and they never turned out, the flavour was okay, but the beans were always hard before. This week I tried to make them in my Instant Pot; thereās a bean button on it, and I thought, how bad could they turn outā¦well they didnāt turn out bad at allā¦they turned out quite lovely, not hard, and great tasting. YAY! š
Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! Iām grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. š God bless you all. š Have an awesome week everyone! š
