What's going on around here? Our 14 chickens are still laying eggs but not as much as we'd like. We haven't taken the time to "cull" and harvest/slaughter the lazy layers. It could be too many roosters in the coop are stressing the girls out. Now that the days are shorter and it's getting colder, we anticipate less eggs - we're getting about 6 a day. We planted our "winter" garden awhile back. We planted peas, beans, squash, peppers, broccoli, chard, lettuce, spinach and onions. We still need to plant the sweet peas and lavender. Today a peacock died from "lead poisoning". He was way too interested in the tender shoots coming up in the garden, so the big hunter had to take care of him. It's funny, once you shoot a few of the peacocks, all the others seem to stay away, for awhile at least. I guess they aren't as dumb as we think. Sorry to offend any peacock lovers! We have a few pumpkins that are still a bit green - so we're letting them continue. We carved a couple pumpkins, now we need to find some good pumpkin recipes --- pie is always a good option! Today is our big class day - we have art, science, history, etc. Always a fun day! Better get down to business - the books are calling!
