The Time had come.....

Stew the Rooster is no more!
**Some photos show graphic images**


Stew was hurting some the hens. He was eating feed and not producing anything but crowing. (Not that the crowing bothered me...) He just wasn't pulling his weight around the homestead.
So the time had come for Stew to make a contribution.


We rung his neck. Plucked his feathers. And dressed him out.





Of course stew was destined for the stew pot.


In his honor, I whipped up a batch of homemade egg noodles.


The final result, Stew made a mighty fine pot of chicken noodles
~or as they call in here in the South~ Chicken Pastry.



Thank you Stew. You taught us many things.

Happy July 1st!





Around the homestead....
The farmer came and cut the winter rye fields adjacent to us to day. He really kicked up a good bit of dust. Sugar didn't like him messing around so close and was on guard all day!
After the garlic harvest, we needed a ground cover, so my sweetie planted rape seed. Boy, did it germinate fast. I love the gourds. The aquaponics is still turning out great lettuce, even in this heat. The last lonely strawberry flower in a bed of sun scorched plants! Poor thing!

My chicks....
They are still hillareous! That is Hilda on the left. Wings out, ready to leap of the roost. She is such a show off. The Bared Rocks are really pretty. All of them are growing so fast. And Stew(Stud), the rooster, likes to strut his stuff. I heard his first crow Sunday morning. The nine chicks we started with are still with us. 8 hens and 1 rooster... I expected more roosters. I feel we will probably get more eggs than what we know what to do with. Egg recipies anyone?


Did I ever tell you that I love sunflowers?
What would a summer post be with out my beautiful sunflowers!
