So, our chickens have gone to meet their maker. It was so fun to see Steve running around at 7 this morning in his gumboots (with pants tucked in) catching chickens and tossing them in the back of the van. Priceless! He's becoming a farmer! LOL! It was a family effort with the kids helping round up the strays, and the attack rooster was quickly caught and subdued before he could have another go at attacking my feet and legs. I'll be sure to cook him first! Bwa ha ha ha! Who's laughing now?!?!
This afternoon I'm going to bag, tag and weigh them all and hopefully sell a few. That'll be good. We could use the money.
Last night we went to Collins for dinner along with Elder and Sister Ovard, and while the kids and guys watched Ratatouille (did I spell that right?) we girls fitted my wedding dress. So it's decided...need bigger breasts...need chiffon veil (ordered from eBay this morning for $10) ... going to wear crystal drop earrings and a necklace and not pearls. One of those silly cultural superstitions I guess but the English don't wear pearls at a wedding. Not traditionally anyway. And I still may wear white holey soles, I mean they're SO comfortable and nobody is going to see them anyway, right?
Janet has said she'd make some jewelry so I'm excited! Her stuff is so beautiful. and unique.
I had a nice visit with Annie and Autumn today. After we did all our chicken chasing and dropping off, we came home for a hearty breakfast of eggs, bacon, and pan fried potatoes. The girls joined in and then stayed to play for a while. When John got here to collect them they were half dressed and playing in the closet, but they were a load of fun to hang out with and I'll miss them. I know Steve misses seeing them so much too and it was good to see him chatting away with Autumn. Annie left today with the monkey suit so she's happy and I sent them off with muffins too so I bet they have a good afternoon.
Gotta run and clean, make more muffins and then finish processing chickens. Wanna buy some?? I don't have Jack and Madylin today as she is at camp and Jack is sick, poor guy.
