Our Stable in September

Here are more views of our stable add on to the chicken coop. We got the roof and skylight panels in place. We need to put up the OSB walls and gates for the horses.

The Roof is On!

This evening under the full moon we got the roof to our stable on. It has taken all summer to build this stable ourselves from the rocky ground up. We put up green sheet metal and also clear panels for light to get through since there is no electricity in our stable. Our cat Poppy climbed the ladder to supervise. Our Chickeneastas came by to peck at acorns and mason bees. Now we only have to put up the walls and gates. Soon all our horses will have a place to call home.

Little Green Bucket

Mr. Bean adores his green bucket. He has claimed it since he could get up and walk to it. It is the bucket I use to bring his grain in. While empty he still insists on licking the bucket clean. Then I remove the bucket until afternoon feeding. And Mr. Bean will wait all day for his turn on his little green bucket, again.

Apple Me This

This week my goal was to use up all the apples I purchased. I did not want any to go to waste. So after canning half a bushel I dehydrated the rest. I borrowed my neighbors apple peeler/corer and I so have to buy one. I love this cool device. It makes dealing with apples fast and easy and it was fun to use. You can find one here. I put the apples slices in lemon water then into the dehydrator. And now I have crisp and very tasty apple chips with no sugar nor preservatives added.
