This and That 6

Been another busy day here. Had to get Devin off to Safety day camp then hit a couple of rummage sales and scored a nice find. I got a low carb cookbook that has a lot of Paleo friendly recipes! Can't wait to sit down and find a few new recipes to try.

I have the kids/guest room all ready for my company that are coming this weekend. Went through all the toys and got rid of any broken or parts missing things and have all of them in totes and under the bunk beds.

We got a few ripe strawberries, Coach and I shared them Romantic I know, LOL. There was a few more ripe-ish ones that seemed to spoil over night. They were not ready the day before and then over ripe the next day. So we missed them. We only had 6 plants so every berry is highly prized.

I have enough rhubarb to make a batch of jam and might get to that next week. I am excited as this is rhubarb I grew from seeds from the plants my mom had when I was growing up. It is one that gets a nice long thick stock and is green with a lot of red on it too. I like this one the best of all the ones I have had. I have another one I got a few years back from my friend Tracy and that one is all green. It makes a good blend the one I grew from seed.

Think the rabbits are getting close to butchering size finally! We might do the smallest one next week and see how much he weighs out at fully dressed. The other two are sold to a lady waiting on them getting big enough to butcher. I am thinking I might try to get a New Zealand buck to use with my Californian does and see if that will speed up the growth rate to butchering size. I recently read that Californians can be on the slow side and mine are proving so. I do not want to feed them any longer than needed or they are not cost effective.

I am off to finish cleaning the bathroom and then on to the living room. I am leaving the kitchen to last!
