Survived the Holidays
We survived the holidays without serious mishap. The stomach flu has been going around and we’ve managed to escape that as well. We both felt like we were getting upset stomachs and broke out the raw ginger. That stuff rocks! No it doesn’t taste that good but it works for me. Maybe it’s all in my head.
With our recylcling and composting efforts we’ve reduced our weekly trash to one or two kitchen sized garbage bags. Not bad. I found the recycling center and was sad to discover that as far as plastic goes, they only accept #1 & #2 plastics. I’m also disappointed in the hair gel I use. They don’t label the bottle as to what type of plastic it is.
They hens are now laying at full capacity. We’re getting about 16 eggs a day. We need to find a profitable outlet! So far the excess eggs are going to friends and family, but it costs us about $9/week to feed them. But it is so worth it. They taste great!
