Pickin’ chickins bock bock bock…Pickin’ chickins…bock bockity bock…
Guess what we did today?

The crew consists of 3 Black Sex Link, 3 Red Sex Link, Ameraucana and 3 Barred Rocks.*  Each of my 4H crew can choose a group to call their own.  Come fair time if they are all similar they can show as a group […]

Run, run, as fast as you can…
Once I got home from practice I found the 12 qt stockpot FULL of bread dough PLUS another small bowl full.  Seems that Robert gave it a hair cut every time it oozed out enough.
It being 10:00 at night I quickly smooshed it down then divided into my four […]

Bread Baking II

Little Missey had lunch & a nap so on to the second “new” recipe–the four yo one.  The directions have everything mixed in a roasting pan or a large stock pot.  It seemed easier to mix in a roaster so that is what we did.

We had our our yearly 4H banquet this past Saturday.  It is rather late, so late that the year in review is October 2006 through September 2007.  This makes for some interesting “what we did” speeches as many of the leaders kept getting confused.  Our group was in better shape–I send out reminder letters that tell […]
