Busy Weekend

Today I picked up 4 new hens. Two of them are wheaten bantams, about the size of pigeons. They shall henceforth be known as Tikka and Masala. The other two are barred rocks pullets of uncertain age; they are definitely not old enough to lay, but judging by size, they're probably pretty close

If the truck had not died just the day before, I would have picked up the footed skillet. But alas, I'm looking at a car payment soon. I think we'll be seeing you at Colonial Plantation, tho, so we'll see where we are at that point ....

If you're going to Colonial Plantation, could I ask you to pick up a couple of items Rob has for me? I can pay you back for them at Mousehole.

[eleanors_closet]

Sure. Shouldn't be a problem.

[stringmonkey]

Thanks so much! Rob, is that a problem for you?

I love what you name your chickens!

[stringmonkey]

I *SO* want a chicken tractor. Alas, it will have to wait until we can be at Great Snoring full-time.

Yah, they're pretty easy to build and maintain, and chickens are lower-maintianence than, say, dogs, but they DO require some daily attention and having someone to discourage predators doesn't hurt, either.

Please let me know when you've figured out what kind(s) of bread you want at CP. I need to rev things up on the yeast front, since last time things were so insufficiently uplifted.

Quinces are in season again, so I predict another batch of quince pastes in our future :-)

Oh, yes. Wafers, too. And if you could save a couple of quinces for the Great Unwashed to inspect, that'd be great.
