I never posted any pictures of the kids' trip to the Indy Children's Museum. My in-laws sent me these:
It sounded like they had a great time.
They also washed Grandma's truck when they got home:
We celebrated Gyunay's and my nephew's birthdays.
Back at home, Mama hen and her chicks are doing well. On a whim on Sunday night, Nathaniel and I bought 6 chicks from Rural King. We had a broody hen, so we stuck them under her that night. She's taken to being Mama very well.
She now has 3 lavender orpington chicks and 2 barred rocks.
She's doing a great job with them.
Although I haven't been getting much from my garden, I have been doing quite a bit of canning.
We picked blueberries in northern Indiana, plus we bought cherries in Michigan. Last week, I also gained a bushel and a peck of peaches from a local orchard, and my mom just sent a bunch of frozen strawberries home for jam. I've made several batches of jam and some honey peaches. I still have a lot to work on, though. My family goes through a lot of jam, and we give out quite a bit of it, so it takes a lot of half-pints to last us a year. I hope to can over 70 half-pints. Plus, most of the peaches are going into quart jars of honey peaches. They are a favorite at breakfast club, and they are so easy for me to grab and go!
