Playing catch up!

We had family visiting again for three weeks in August and we've been busy this summer as usual.. we don't seem to spend enough time *inside* to update our blog.

Our chicks have just starting laying and are proving to be extra noisy, I'm guessing they've learned well from our three older hens! We tried to put them in one area together but I had to break up a big fight so they are staying separated.

The chicks (okay, I *really* need to stop calling them chicks! ha!) are still little compared to the other 3 hens, but we'll take what we can get :)

Our garden is incredibly productive right now, we can go out daily and collect produce, it's great! Here's a photo of a small sampling from our garden.

Let's see, in the basket we have scalloped summer squash, zukes, yellow summer squash, yellow crookneck squash, a japanese cuke, various tomatoes, a poona keera cuke and a gem squash. There are other various veggies as well, not pictured here though.

What a blessing to be able to go out into our backyard and pick food for dinner... or go out in the morning and gather eggs for baking!
