We have received lots of sweet corn from friends and from Stennes' job. The boys have faithfully cut it off the cob to freeze for winter time. Yummy!
Mean Ol' Mama has been busy, too, with work from the College. Lots of essays to correct...
Schoolwork has been a bit sporadic these past 2 weeks. Gardens and animals have priority right now, and the kids do their work whenever they can. [
The Girl works diligently on her Greek...]
The kids have also been cooking a lot because Mean Ol' Mama is busy-busy-busy. Fried egg sandwiches and fried potatoes make a tasty lunch.
Do you think we have enough potatoes? It's the same with zucchini, cucumbers, peppers, etc. Lots of yummy, fresh food.
What are you drawing, ChubChub?
An airplane!
The Girl has enjoyed making a few crafts.
Our Very Special Cousin has now moved into the Pink House, but she had to store most of her furniture, so the fellows lent a hand...
We have had a total of 32 people in the home throughout the past 3 days. It's been fun, and we've eaten/cooked a lot of food!
Poppins gave the boys handgun safety classes. They really enjoyed targed practice!
Stennes attached a lightswitch plate that Mean Ol' Mama bought for 10 cents.
It didn't quite fit, so he had to re-drill the holes. Kind of handy to have a clever boy...
Cute, eh?
On Saturday afternoon, Poppins and Doctor Peter took the boys to a chicken auction. They returned with 159 chickens! Yep, you read that number correctly. Thankfully, 17 have already been sold for a profit, and 4 more were...well, shall we say that those 4 contributed to lunch. Keep reading to see what happened to them...
Our Mexican friends wanted to cook us a "rancho" meal, so they came early Sunday morning to get things rolling.

Levi brought down two huge buckets of zucchini to add to the caldo (soup with chicken, carrot, squash, and potato).
These two roosters were fighting, so Josiah had to separate them from the others.
The Girl helped Doris make a mountain of tortillas. 
Gamaliel kindly tended the pot of caldo. They are such kind people.
Lookind foward to another busy week...
