I've been pretty quiet on here, because not much is happening...but growing.
The girls, and Leopold, have all of their adult features, and they are now "just" getting bigger.
People keep asking about those eggs. Not yet, but soon. Right now they are just getting bigger.
We have incubated two of our duck eggs, and they will be hatching this week! It's been so cool watching them grow and move around inside their shells (through candling). A month of waiting is about to pay off!
Our garden is growing too! I've already harvested some green peppers, tomatoes, pickles, squash, peas, and strawberries. MANY more tomatoes, corn, green beans, black berries, and cucumbers are still growing, but SOON!
I am planning on making my own tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, and berry jams. We have purchased 1/4 of a cow (which is in our freezer), and have half a pig coming soon...then we should not have to visit a grocery store for quite a while!
I made my very first batch of goat cheese last month! I bought the milk at a local grocery, and then proceeded to make the cheese. It was a HUGE success. We used it, mostly, to top off steaks/chops/burgers to add a touch of Heaven to the meat!
I think I'll do it again very soon!
Check back often! I'll update when the blackberries are ready for picking!
