Mid summer day dreaming

Summer is half over now, with the cooler weather this year my garden has been providing cool weather veggies, but not much else. Fruit trees are taking a breather this year again after being overly prolific last year, glad I was able to dry much of the fruit from last year, and still have some left!!!

I've had some rather interesting experiences with my little homestead this year. Got some baby chicks in mid March, which I finally got moved out of doors into the orchard in May... then some of them promptly were attacked, not sure what was the problem until I saw a raven actually trying to eat one of them. I rescued her, took her indoors to be taken care of and nursed her back to health, meanwhile doing what I could to prevent further decimation of the flock.

After a month in my kitchen, the skin on the back of her neck had grown back and she was getting feathers again there, though she has a piece of skin that was moved to the side, so now she has a kind of a "pony tail" on one side of her face... kind of cute, but looks a bit unusual, so I call her my designer chick. The other chickens were not too anxious to allow her return to full status in the flock so now in the pecking order she is low chicken on the totem pole, but has managed to be swift of foot and able to fend for herself quite well now, thank you... amazing what love energy will do for the process of healing.

The first eggs are now being laid, pullet eggs being smaller than the eggs of mature hens, but now there will be lots of excelent clean free range egg protein available for the duration of the year.

As usual, summer is a busy time here, so again my posting is catch as catch can and time becomes available.

With all of the happenings in the world right now, I wanted to share a bit of information on how to protect what you have been working for all of your life, so that you can retain the fruits of your labor through asset protection.
