This was a lovely easy dish, Baked Chicken Breasts with onion, celery, turnip and sour cabbage, very tasty and easy to turn from a baked dish into a soup with a bit of cutting up and adding broth..

Round two..

• Hot soup, while reading the CBC and National Post sites, along with a hot cuppa tea.
• Put a pot of black eye’d pea’s on to cook and be made into a dish later today
• Dishes
• Floor Washing
• Put the wet gloves on the drying tubes
• Folded laundry and put it away
• Feed the fish
• check the barn/lambing/lamb
• Cuaght Pippin, petted him, and picked up front feet and gave him a cookie
• Adjusted Brandy’s head halter, it gets loose when wet but can tighten back up a bit to much when it dry’s so needed a adjustment
• Cleaned, wiped down my horse harness, it was a bit dirty from the last times used and a dirty harness is not a good thing.. the perk of my harness is that its super easy to clean, just wipe down and then dry and down.
• Go to town cloths load next, coats are dry and hanging up.
• Took the hounds out and gave them a run, they are now currently crashed in patches of sunshine snoring..
• Groomed a purrpot, and cleaned her ears as well.
• Worked for an hour on scrapping the rabbit hide, plus softened it,and then did its final salting for a couple days yet before I will smoke it and then finish it off with fine sandpaper, and then run it over the back of the chair a number of times and rub it will saddle soap and then fluff it.. I’m very pleased with how its coming.
• Barn check, still no second lamb and no signs of contractions, momma sheep is settled, lamb always seemed to get milk only from one side, so I striped the other side, and sure enough it had a plug on it.. This is one of my regular milking girls and her bag is huge! and very, very  full, I figure I will give the baby another hour or two and then I am going to go tie her up and milk her pretty much out and put the colustum in the freezer in portions for just in case. This is one of the girls I have been waiting for, last year when share milking with her lamb, I was still able to get a full quart jar of sheep milk from her per day, thats pretty much a liter of milk or close to two gallons per week, and her milk is so rich that it has cream rise to the top of it (which they say is not to happen but it sure does!)
• Put the water on for a big old pot of herbal tea, when made I will pour it in the thermo for the afternoon use.
• General Tidy
• Milk the sheep and freeze in little jelly jars for future use.(should do a post on that)
• Have a Nap with lots of warm furry bodies all snuggling up.
