getting back to normal...

For the past ten days, we've been resting, relaxing, and getting back to "normal"...

it's like Christmas in July! i got all my abeka and cc curriculums in!

we added a rooster to our brood and our hens freaked! hardly any eggs! << this means i accidentally didn't check on the egg supply before i made cookies << which means, i had crumbly cookie dough.
