Catch Up Time...Again

Wow, it has been almost a month since my last entry!!!
My sister-in-law pointed that out to me yesterday,
thank you Miss Janet :)
So here goes...it has been a busy month in many different directions.
 
First of all my brother is moving to Florida  :(
That in itself is very hard for me, we have not been apart
for many years, but I understand that he needs to make this move.
He has been raising Lady Gouldin Finches, but 
he didn't they would make the move well
so he gave them to me....
 


 
So I have 9 of these little beauties.  I had not had them a week
when two decided it was time to mate...
 

 
So they have been separated and a nesting box set up.
The male did all the nest building.  I provided him with
coconut hair and he did a fine job.

 
Then the female laid 1 egg a day for five days.
They look like jelly beans :)

 
Now we wait for about 3 weeks and hopefully 5 little finches will hatch out!
 
My brother also gave me a pair of Cordon Blue Finches.
 
 
 
Now besides these cutie pie indoor birds, I also
was given a new rooster, Richard and 2 new hens.
 

 
They are now adjusting to their new home :)
 
Next up is updated pictures of the kittens
 
Miss Lucy

Simba

Tiger & Dot
So much fun watching them grow and play.
The other 5 have new homes :)
 
 
Now for the work part of the past month...
The Garden = Canning & Freezing...OH MY!!!
 
24 jars of salsa

32 jars of green beans


grape jelly, strawberry jelly, and peach butter

sweet pickle relish

41 bags of corn.
 
Still have banana peppers, butternut squash and spaghetti squash
to work on this week.  Then I'll take a couple weeks break...
then it will be applesauce and apple rings and apple pie filling.
Then after the first frost...persimmons!!!!
 
Oh and we also had a HUGE 2 day yard sale.
So nice to have gotten rid of a lot of stuff and
made a little $$$ too.
 
Well that catches me up on the last month.
Hoping soon to be back in the sewing room...
if I can remember where it is!!!
Glad you stopped by, hope to see you again soon :)
 
Hugs & Blessings,
Terry
