We woke up to temperatures in the mid 40’s. It’s amazing how cooler weather lifts your spirits. Our chickens were loving it.
Our teenager chicks inside were getting cramped in their pen so it was time to add another wall to their enclosure. We have two that are very brave and love to chicken fly around the room when they get a chance.
They are finally too big to fit through the openings and are actually calmer now that they can see what’s going on outside of their pen.
They are cute, funny and very chirpy. I cannot wait to get then out of our living room. Only a few more weeks until we can start introducing them to the flock.
Did you know that coconut oil can be used to condition wood? I used it on the chair I refinished and it made such a difference. I still need to start on the matching chair, but I’m pleased with how this one turned out. I’m still searching for just the right fabric to recover the seat in.
Getting all that paint off is hard work.
We try to buy from small business whenever we can. Today was the local vendor fair around the corner from our home. It’s grown so much from when it started.
A company that sells French frozen yogurt made with sheep’s milk was doing a buy one pint, get one free. Hannah got a free sample of their chocolate dipped bars and said it was really good so we decided on the vanilla and strawberry flavors. Delicious! You should really try this brand if you see it in your stores.
There’s no way we can pass up smell goods, especially handmade ones. There were so many booths that had some really awesome soaps, lotions and candles. I think we found two of the best booths. Hannah and I both picked up lotion and I found a cinnamon apple pie soy candle that we both decided smelled like Fall. It really does because I lit it as soon as I got home.
And as an ode to this wonderful weather, I made Mexican Soup. I’m going to link the recipe. You can change it up and make it to your liking. I add corn, green chilies and have shredded chicken on the side for whoever wants it. It’s so good with shredded sharp cheddar and sour cream.
While I’m on the subject of food, Annie’s orange jelly is *chef’s kiss*. I’m now really wishing I’d gotten the lemon jelly also.
