The Country Homemaker Hop #39

Hello Homemakers

I hope you've had another week full of adventure and happiness. I sure have.  I've been keeping busy.  In the kitchen this week I canned more tomato soup, the last of the grapes became jelly, and I am dehydrating herbs right now. I still have about 100 onions to dehydrate so I better get a move on.

I have been cleaning up the house because I will have engineers here on Friday to inspect and prepare our roof for solar panels.  Yippee!!!  I am so excited.  They have to go up in the attic to make sure the roof can hold the load and install an anchor for the technicians to hook up to, to prevent a fall from the roof during installation.  

As the installation requires a few county inspections, we've been warned that our garage (my sewing room) may be full of panels and equipment for a while so I have been working to set up a temporary sewing area in the TV room. Woot! This winter I'll be sewing in warmth and style as I watch my favorite shows Once Upon A Time, Revolution, and reruns of Mad Men.  <Smile>

Queenie, 3 months ago...

In the coop things have been a little too exciting.  My little roo Queenie started seeing me as a threat this week so I am working on ways to avoid upsetting him again.  So far, walking out backwards or shoving something yummy in front of him seems to be working...  

Queenie this week.

I hope he chills out.  He can really pinch skin with his beak.  Ouch!  

My young hens are amazing.  They'll be 6 months old this week and today I got 13 eggs. That's a record for our little hen house.  The ladies are averaging a dozen eggs every day.  

In the sewing room, I am behind a bit in my Thimbleberries Quilt Club.  I have to make 120 flying geese rectangles for a mystery scrap quilt, so I guess I better say goodbye for now and get back to work so I can get them done before Saturday...

Have a GREAT next week and please share what you've been up to this week by linking up below...
