Turkey for dinner

Here is our bronze breasted turkey hen waiting to be processed. She had 1 bad leg and that was removed by our Amish processors. She is now in a brine soon to be put in our freezer for dinner.

Here are four overzealous roosters from this years summer crop. I had nine roosters born this year and had to cull these four. I still want to cull a few more but these will fill our freezer for now. We lucked out buying two used poultry cages from a local flea market. We have used them quite a bit and are handy to have. Needing to transport poultry around town, cages are a must on the farm. 

Under Pressure


My husband testing our our new blood pressure machine.

We decided to find a machine that records both our numbers for blood pressure. Mine was high before 
my surgery and I wanted to get a handle on it to avoid taking meds. So we bought one for the house. You can see our cat, Coco, aka Ump, watching Alan. She is wearing a sock over her recovering neck wound.

Nap Time

Pepper and Daisy holding down the sofa.

Still have not moved all day.

Me taking a surgery recovery nap along with Daisy. It is so nice to take a nap and feel refreshed after.
I hated naps all my life. But post surgery has finally given me a good reason to nap. And my cats are 
very agreeable to that.
