These are my new friends. These fine ladies provide fresh eggs whenever my little heart desires. (For now, they are at my mother in laws, as my hubby has a chicken coop on the docket for upcoming projects.)
They have also provided hours of entertainment for Molly-girl.
Tomorrow, I will be working from sun-up to sundown to get the garden planted. This is going to be quiet the undertaking, but I am looking forward to having my own produce center out back. My goal is to only need to go into town for meat, cheese, and flour. So far, I get up early three times a week to make bread, made dish soap this morning, made a body scrub, beginning lotion bars, made hand soap, and finished crocheting a dish towel. Throw in a few e-mails to my Merchandising Coordinator for my book, a few phone calls, bill paying, and cleaning, and you have my Wednesday.
I can't wait to get my hands dirty tomorrow. There is something calming about reconnecting with the Earth, and reminding myself that some things take time. That a lesson is to be learned in not rushing, just being.
Hugs and all that good stuff.

Lotion bars??? You've got my attention. :)
Sounds like a heck of an amazing day!
Chickens make me happy! :) We had a dozen a few years ago and I loved being able to go out back and gather enough eggs for us plus enough for Perri to sell. It taught her some responsibility at a very young age and padded her savings a little. :) I've been begging The Hubster to get some more.
Sounds like you're really getting into the country life. :) You're going to have to blog about all the things you're making! Sounds really interesting. Pictures and recipes, please! :)
Hope you have a terrific day in the garden. It's still too wet here for us to plant, plus there is a chance of frost for a while yet.
You are one busy lady!
Your kitchen looks like such a happy one...and you do look happy there!
Lady, I looove your hair.
Yay for chickens! As soon as we get moved into our new house we plan to get some! And I have NO idea what to do with them once we have them! ha!
We don't have chickens, but I do get so much pleasure out of my little garden :-) It is so nice to walk outside, gather some food, and bring it in for a meal. Have fun!
Blessings,
Marcia
