Random Ramblings

This has the potential to be one of the more 

random blog posts that I have ever done .. 

{consider yourself warned}

Chickens:

We still have chickens

4 to be exact 

They are laying daily

{I don't think I have ever eaten so many eggs before in my life}

But they are good {the eggs. that is}

A couple of the chickens have

fallen head over heals in love my

husband {I get it, most days I am not jealous}

But this one loves him the most:

Isabella 

I really like the chickens,

In fact .. I think we will be getting 

some more in the spring.

{who knew, I would ever like a chicken}

Photography:

Lulu has decided to be like her daddy 

and take up photography.

With a little practice,

I think she will do good with it!

Farmer's Market:

We have decided to {try} to eat more

whole fresh foods and to cook at home more.

So we headed to the farmers market.

We got a bunch of veggies

And some apples

If I had my choice I would get only organic

veggies and fruit but unfortunately,

there was only one organic stand there 

and he only had a few items.

We did get several things from him and

they were oh, so good!

He even managed to get both of my 

children to sample tomatoes and raw sweet potatoes

{I have no pictorial evidence of this .. but trust me, it happened}

They ate both things and liked them {imagine that}

Maybe it was because he called it candy?

After we walked around the farmers market, 

we headed to eat at the Farmer's Market Restaurant

The kids really enjoyed all the old farm equipment

 

and of course this day would not have been

complete with out a picture with the giant metal pig 

in overalls, perched atop a block wall outside the restaurant.

We then headed here:

They sell local meat 

with an old fashioned small town butcher kind of flare.

Playing:

Saturday was a beautiful day so we could not

resist going outside to play

Hope even enjoyed basking in the sun

Oranges:

We got some fresh oranges from Florida

{Thank-you Meme & PopPops 

and Mike & Courtney}

So we decided to juice some of them

and oh my word ... it was sooooo good!

I may never be able to drink bottled juice again!
