Eggs, Blood and Busy-Ness.

 Well, we have LOTS of eggs.

We are taking a break from making our

own dog food - they are taking a break

from eating it!

So we bought a bag of dry.

But, since we aren't making our own

AND its spring, a time when the chickens

are in FULL production,

we have a LOT of eggs.

We took 2 dozen over to a member's house

yesterday - they invited us over for dinner

along with another family and a gazillion

young men. (They have 6 kids, 1 away at

college, 3 teens and a couple younger ones.)

(And I'm pretty sure it was also the entire

Priest's quorum as well...)

Anyhow.

I figure they eat a LOT of eggs and

I have a LOT of eggs... so... voila!

Then we also put 3 dozen into the freeze dryer.

Along with a couple of trays of apple sauce.

I want to do 5 trays of already cooked chicken,

but I didn't have enough to fill 5 trays

so I did the other instead.

We are doing a "pantry challenge" this week.

Eating out of the pantry / fridge / freezer.

I made Rhodes rolls (from the freezer),

salad (from the fridge)

cheesecake with blueberry topping

(from the fridge and freezer) 

to take to dinner last night.

It was very satisfying!

Meanwhile...

The new girls are loving their new coop.

I just pulled 2 eggs out.

There are only 4 girls in there right now

because that was all we could catch

the other evening before the roosters

got all riled up and I was worried about

getting attacked.

It doesn't take much to make me bleed.

 

This is a "scratch" from Kyle's new dog, Bear.

I've been putting Bountiful Balm on it

and it was looking really good yesterday.

But it was getting itchy as it was healing

and I guess while I wasn't paying attention,

I rubbed it.

And broke it open.

More salve and it was looking really good

this morning.

And then Kyle and I went to Tractor Supply

and got 100# of Buddy's feed and 40# of

rice bran to help him with gaining weight.

While dumping one of the bags into the 

garbage can, I must have popped it open again.

Sheesh.

Anyhow.

I'll clean it up (again) and cover it in salve (again)

and it will look really good tomorrow.

Maybe a bandaid would be in order????

grin

Anyhow.

I now have an officially called Secretary.

That's all.

I have submitted names for Counselors

and teachers but no final word on them yet.

And this week I am "double dipping".

Both of my instructors needed this week off,

so I'm teaching both the morning AND the evening

zoom classes this week.

Plus working at the town on Tues & Thurs.

Plus I'll probably teach the RS lesson this week

since I don't know who all has been called to

do what this week and don't want to rock that boat...

So... long story short (ish) there may NOT be

a ton of blog posts this week.

OH!

And I need to run over to the eye glasses place

and have them do something about my new glasses.

I have to squint to see out of them.

They are better than nothing, but not $235 worth of better.

Everything is still blurry and out of focus.

So... tweaking is necessary.

Anyhow.

Hope you are having a good week!

We went out on the patio last night and

watched the lunar eclipse until the mosquitoes

discovered we were out there and tried

to drink my (readily available) blood.

It was really pretty!
