Chickens/free apples

So exciting! We got our first egg yesterday from our chickens. Feel like we should put it someplace special or frame it after all the work.

Spent the evening last night doing spaghetti sauce and applesauce. Lots of tomatoes on the vine right now so we made a big batch of spaghetti sauce. We also canned 50 pounds of wormy apples someone had given us. They made great applesauce and there is nothing cheaper than free apples. We got them from our friend's neighbor that lives in Richmond. We are hoping to get some more next week and that should set us up with plenty of applesauce for the year.

Mary's big 16th birthday party with all her friends is this evening. We will be spending the day touching up the house, baking cakes and generally getting ready for the onslaught of 18 teenagers. They are planning to tye-dye and play lawn games besides their usual of hanging out and enjoying each others company.

Hope everyone has a great day!
