Chickens!

I've found a place that does local organic humanely raised chickens! And eggs! It's Pete and Jen's Backyard Birds. They even have chicken feet, which I'll use to make stock so I don't have to buy stock from teh grocery store as often.

That means I've got fruits and vegetables from Brookfield Farm, beef and lamb from Red River Rock Farm, chickens and eggs from Pete and Jen. Now all I need is a local source of milk and milk-based things.




I've been re-reading the Little House books, as I mentioned below, and I've just gotten through "The Long Winter," in which the town almost starves to death and I'm feel some pull in what Christopher calls my Russian soul to stock up my pantry and larder this summer.



My mother and father are coming back from the Carolinas today. They called yesterday and said they had a wonderful time -- the weather was perfect for beaching it.



And that's all the news there is to print.
