Four little girls....tap tap tap!

Our hens are such a joy. We laugh constantly at them. This past weekend we were inside trying to stay cool (and putting up tomatoes of course) and my husband kept hearing this noise...tap...tap...tap. Once he got up to investigate, he quickly found the source. Outside on our screened in back porch stood four little hens pecking on the glass patio door. As if to say "hey, Mom and Dad, can we come inside or can you come outside? We just laughed....and of course immediately went out to spend some time with them. Those girls have made their way straight to our hearts.

Tomatoes!

I'm picking atleast 20 tomatoes a day now. Trying to find my favorite recipes for spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce and salsa. Spent part of the day freezing Roma tomatoes and figuring out the process for homemade tomato juice. Going to be busy for awhile with 26 plants growing strong!

Happy 4th of July!

Had a relaxing day at the beach, although it started out a little rough... missed an important turn that resulted in a longer drive, spilled sweet tea in the floor of my jeep and dropped my book in the water. However, we spent some quality time with my sister and niece, took a nice long walk while chatting and picking up seashells, and enjoyed an early seaside dinner. A nice 4th.
