Today was warm but extremely windy.
The garden was green and very happy looking. It is amazing how little you need for your family. Keep it trimmed and it will continue to give you food.
Spinach
Red Lettuce
Butter lettuce
We filled a basket to make our lunch and dinner side.
We picked a couple of radishes to go with our salad.
I trimmed the parsley... again. I like it as a salad, in recipes, a garnish and dried for winter dishes.
We made a big salad.
I headed to the store while Dude moved big rocks with the tractor and got the chicken house ready for new meat hens. I took pictures so you could see some birds are more expensive than others. Meat hens are $2 each.
I picked up 30 chicks to raise for the next 6-8 weeks for our fall and winter meals.
They cozied themselves under the heat lamp.
Dude continued outside while I got the table and dinner ready for Holy Thursday.
Lamb shanks are going in the oven for our Seder meal for Holy Thursday.
We raised this lamb. I am not sure we could butcher another lamb. We are raising two and Dude says he is not sure he can eat these two tender friends.
When it comes out of the oven we will have it with apple salad, regular salad, matzo , hard boiled eggs and cheesecake for dessert.
May you have a very blessed Holy Thursday.
peace
