Sorry about the Turkey's. Wish I was closer so I could help out. You are a hard working Mama and a tough lady to boot. I bet you make the family very proud with all the hard work you put in everyday. Heck I feel proud of you and I don't even know you,

My GF really wants some Ducks or Geese in the future so I'm researching this idea.

Saturday is our BIG Party. We'll be renewing our vows (15 years) and celebrating 3 birthdays.

I finally got my renewal vows wrote in my "book". I'll share what I wrote after the party since DH and I aren't sharing prior I don't want him to get a peek.

I'll be going to the Farmer's Market in the morning on Saturday and then have to get home and make our "cake". It's not really a cake, but I'll be using watermelon, other melons and fruit to create the look of a cake. Yes, I'll take pics of it

Tomorrow I go back to the doctor. I've still got a lingering cough and hopefully it clears up by Saturday. Those are my orders....clear up by Saturday cough!

Broody hen, Wynette, had 4 chicks yesterday. I had to take 2 away from her because she was trying to kill those 2. I'm really hoping that she does ok with the other 2.

Frizz and her large crew of chicks have been turned out of the broody pen and are now in chicken general population. I cannot wait to see her running around the barnyard with all those chicks! It usually takes the broodys a couple of days before they leave the coop with their chicks.

New ducks are doing great. Happily enjoying the big pond.

Fudge is back to thinking he's a chicken.

Cinni's guinea keets are starting to hatch! She's up to 8 and has a total of 25 eggs.

Here's some pics to get you going:

Thank you! DH did good with his vows

I was a little disappointed by the turnout but my Grandma Emily was in the hospital so that excuses some of my family. But no one from DH's family showed up. Regardless the whole thing was about me and DH so whatever.

I'll have some pics to share in a bit.

We worked the Farmer's Market this morning. It was a good day. I even met a BYC member there.

And I got a new idea for a jam. I'm thinking a condiment for fish this time - Lemon Thyme Jam made with chopped lemons and lemon thyme. Gonna do that experiment this week. I came up with that one as I was sitting staring at some lemon thyme that I brought along with me.

Glad to see you back! Also glad to hear your vow renewal ceremony went well. Sorry to hear about your Grandma Emily being in the hospital though. What about doing a spice mixture for seasoning fish. You could have dill in it and maybe your lemon thyme. My uncle does a seasoning mixture at Christmas for gifts that has dill and some other seasonings in it that is good on fish and even in eggs. I don't know what all is in it though besides the dill as that is all I recognize in it.

It's about a new jam recipe more than specifically something for fish

Well it sounds interesting.
