October 11-17, 2020 Garden, Canning, Winter Prep

Hello Friends!

Dh turned the table he had made for himself to use when he thought he’d have to keep his head down for another three months into his new rooter table.  He will of course tweak it for weeks now to get it all perfect.  He is making drawings for improvements already this week.

Chickens:

I continued working on the chicken coop, wrapping it up in plastic to prepare for winter.  We drove out to the farm where we buy straw and bought a bunch so we would be set up for the winter.  I am using the bales for insulation until we need to use them for the chickens.

Garden:

The garden is doing really well.  This week I canned greens.  I canned chicken bone broth from the bones I cooked down this week.  I’m still picking kale, green beans, celery, and Swiss chard.

Bible Studies:

Both Bible Studies are going well.  I’m enjoying the leadership training sessions before my Bible study each Monday night.  There was also an online leadership training course this week.

 

Dd’s Progress:

Dd worked a few times at Walmart and quit b/c they wanted her to work weekends in the beginning and she didn’t want to accept that as that would take her away from seeing her boyfriend.
