Twomgroups of turkeys paid us a visit this weekend:

The two groups visited on the same day and it was quite the lesson in watching the two Tom’s strut their stuff.  It was an interesting experience and we were completely taken with the turkeys watching them for a good long while.  Meggy, too, watched with great interest.  Coalby slept through their visit, I wish I could have photographed both cats and the turkeys… maybe next time.

We have new neighbors.  They moved in over a week ago, but we hadn’t had a chance to meet them until Saturday.  I’m excited to say that they seem like nice folks and I look forward to getting to know them better.  We made them a welcome to the neighborhood basket that contained a jar of applesauce and some chocolate sourdough cookies.

Independence Days Challenge – Week 28

Plant Something: Nothing, and that’s not likely to change until March of 2010

Harvest Something: Nothing

Preserve Something: Nothing

Reduce Waste: The usual composting and recycling, little purchasing.  I crafted using only items from my stash.

Preparation & Storage: I found another pair of jeans at the thrift store for a whopping $5.

Build Community Food Systems: I taught a canning class to a wonderful group of folks.

Eat the Food: As we’re not buying any groceries, we’re only eating from storage.  We’re eating tons of good stuff, too, I plan on sharing more about what we’re eating later this week.
