I had eggs and home canned applesauce for breakfast. I thought you'd like to know that, because it was the highlight of my day yesterday. Actually it was, because we are clean out of fresh fruit, and remembering that applesauce sure cheered me up.
The other highlight is not breaking the egg I put in my coat pocket. I bent over to get some hay and almost forgot it was in my pocket. That would have been disastrous.
Hubby and I came to a decision on the meat birds.
We are not ordering this year. I'm hoping what's in my freezer will last until fall, and we can "ponder" on fall meat birds. We haven't decided on layers just yet.
I'm sure a few kiddo's will be happy this spring. They don't particularly like helping with meat bird chores.
One day left of the month, and I'm still reading my current Hemingway book (left). I have one more in my books stash, and then it's time to check the library. I'll admit, I haven't been in the mood to read. I have to be in the mood.
I took a "sneak" peek photo of my next floor rug, but forgot to load it. I guess I will just wait until it's finished.
I printed off two more scholarship applications for our 18 year-old. She asked for help, but now she is bombarded with homework on top of applying for these. She is still a senior in high school, and taking another college class on top of it.
I asked her if I earned any "Mom" points with her yet. I bet she never thought I find so many so quickly. Now, let's hope she gets some of them. Her room at the college is already secured. The food card cost is astronomically high. However, it's the only way to really eat there, especially the first year.

I can't wait to see the rug...loved your last one!
Wonder how many homestead/farm jacket pockets have had an egg broken in them? I'm betting a LOT! :o} I know I've done my share . . . and probably will do more.
It's such a shame that the food costs for your daughter's first year of college look to be so high. But, sigh, we all know how food prices have skyrocketed so it's costing all food services more on their end, too. Does your daughter have a job lined up for this summer? Before she starts college?
Perhaps she could work for herself?
House sitting through the summer, working a near by farm, cleaning out stalls ...hehe... I see the humor there. But she does have experience.
Cleaning houses pays pretty well, as does dog walking and things like that.
She wouldn't have to check groceries, wait tables... the sky is the limit!
Good for her getting her work all done... and being so diligent about it.
I have to say...seeing your books reminds me that I have a ton of old books that I want to begin reading...
Many great works and classics.
You're such an inspiration!
I'm still working at the moment of using up my yarn... so reading is just another thing on the list
