Homestead chores and update on the chimney

Most days the homestead is anything but the dreamy thoughts of life on the prairie. Take this morning... before heading to work I:
Feed the chickens, geese, turkeys, guineas and made sure everyone had water.
Picked cantaloupes for breakfast
Had poo-girl duty (picking up dog poop ...ohso glamorous)
Laundry
Put away last night's dishes
Washed the eggs
Made dinner for tonight and started tomorrow's
Turned the compost bin (not much, just put in the kitchen scraps and turned it 7 times)

Breakfast





Dinner for tomorrow put in the crockpot. 



Dinner for today... Thai lettuce wraps. Started with ground sausage, add fish sauce, honey, lime and hot pepper flakes.



Add your favorite veggies and mint....simple and good . 




The chimney didn't get done Saturday. When friends heard we still needed help many offered help. And then one came over without being ask... he just knew we really needed help and needed this project done.  Yesterday Jamin and Dude got the stone applied... well, Dude taught Jamin and Jamin did most of the work since Dude is having trouble moving.  Today the rest was to be done and grouted but the winds were just too high to get up on the roof .  I love how it looks so far and so grateful for the friends we have. 



By the end of the morning I got a lot done. Dude had feed and watered the big animals, milked the goat and did the laundry.... I was so glad I could cross that one off the list. 

peace
