Garden Planning ~ Lunch Packings ~ Chicken Treat

Looked what arrived in the mail.  It's my current "read."  Thank you Leigh for telling me about this company.  I am having a fun time looking through it, and planning the garden this coming spring.   What is your favorite seed source?  


I got the "Mom!" alert yesterday. School lunch packings were at a minimum.  

I baked up some strawberry chocolate chip muffins.  Yum. Do you have a favorite fruit muffin?  I can't say this is our very favorite, but it's one of them.

I also made a pan of homemade smoked almonds.  However, the joke is on me.  School called last night and said they would be closed today.  Although it's -2°F outside this morning, if feels like -18°F.  It will be colder tomorrow yet.

I treated my ladies and "Stud Muffin" Sparta (aka chickens and rooster) to some warm, cooked oatmeal.  They chowed it down too.  If you are wondering how I go those three plates out to the barn in one trip, along with a watering unit, I took them out on a sled.  It's been a big help this winter (the sled).  I use it for firewood as well, and to get the feed to the barn.
