New Light

 When Kyle got home yesterday,

he went into the coop and got

the new light all set up.

He got the new extension chord all situated.

That's the chicken's water tank.

It hold a LOT of water, in fact, he just filled

it, about 3/4 full, 3 days ago.

Last time he filled it was in September!

There is a tank heater in there so it doesn't freeze.

And he made SURE the hoses didn't freeze either.

Hahahahahahahaha.

Next he got the shop light all set up

on a timer so they have plenty of light

but also plenty of sleeping time.

Looks good!

Notice the sunlight coming in around

the top of the walls... plenty of ventilation.

Meanwhile, I cooked up some spaghetti

using our home canned spaghetti sauce.

I used one jar of meat sauce and 1 jar

of just sauce.

Dumped them in the pot together,

added about a half tsp of baking soda

to cut some of the bitterness,

and added a couple tablespoons of

italian seasoning and some parm cheese.

It turned out really good!

I poured the leftover into one of the jars

so we can make another meal out of it.

I think I'm happy with it!

I'll probably try a different recipe next

year when I do it... but with my little

electric pressure canners, its easy to just

do a small batch, see if we like it,

and if we do, then we can get busy.

Oh! And Rod baked a loaf of savory

onion/garlic bread. 

It went REALLY well with the spaghetti!

(I forgot to take a picture... sorry dear!)

It was delicious though!
