Core G Week 27 "B" IOWA TEST May 21-29, 2016

Core G Week 27 "B" 
IOWA TESTING Week 
May 21-29, 2016


Hello Friends!  If you are looking for a post about Middle Ages reading material; this isn't going to be a good one to read!  I scheduled Dd to take the IOWA Test this week, and I wanted to give her some free time to watch some movies, read "her" books, and be.  Then she ended up getting run down and sickish Wed. and Thurs.  Just getting through those IOWA Tests was a major accomplishment, and seemed to take it out of her.  Now to wait one or two months for the results!
The chickens keep flying out of the tractor so they can perch on top!  Kinda funny!


Chickens:
We signed Dd up for 4-H this week.  She decided to show one male (Buff Orpington) and one female chicken (Black Sex Link).  She signed up for a few other things too---she is going to make a cheesecake, show a drawing....
The chickens are doing well.  We have been working so hard at building the chicken coop, meanwhile they are spending their days in the chicken tractors.  I will put up a whole new post on our construction days after this post.


Gardens:
After Dd and I had bought all our plants we had a lot of planting to do!  Our lettuce, garlic, leeks, spinach, celery, red, orange, and yellow peppers, tomatoes, kohlrabi....are all planted and growing.  The things we brought from Indiana are all doing really well too---asparagus, strawberries, cone flowers, daisies, red poppies,black-eyed susans, grapes....




Just how did Agnes manage to squeeze under the sunshirt and hat?  The chair was already full, and she somehow made it under all of it!

  Some cute kitty pictures of Agnes for Chelle and her Dd!


GERD: 
I had had a really awful time of it last week, as I had allowed myself to believe I could have a bite or two of gluten, and a bite or two of ice cream...but, suffered miserably afterwards.  Last week I got back on board, and started having less reflux and heartburn.


Chicken Coop:
Dh took Friday off to focus on coop building.  Dd started to feel a bit better by Friday, so we all worked together Friday and Saturday.
