A Homegrown Family: Field trip

Field trip

We were gone all day yesterday on a field trip to a pizza place. We had fun and the kids received a pizza for dinner. They were very patient with over 20 kids crammed into there little kitchen.

We also stopped by the feed store to get green bean seeds and walked away with 10 pullets. We are moving our chicken yard and changing some things so we gave away our hens. I usually change them out every two years or so anyway. These cuties are barred rocks.

Tomorrow I hope to post some of my sewing projects from this week. I still have two skirts to finish though.

Have a blessed day....

Love
Erika

Dear Erika,

Ooh, Barred Rocks are my favorites, next to Buff Orpingtons! I wish we could hold them. :)

A field trip to a pizza place sounds like fun, too!

Love,

Marqueta

Thomas Jefferson’s 10 Rules to Live by:
1. Never put off tomorrow what you can do today.
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before you have earned it.
4. Never buy what you don’t want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger, thirst and cold.
6. We seldom repent of having eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.
8. How much pain the evils have cost us that never happened.
9. Take things always by the smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before you speak, if very angry, count to a hundred.

Ben Franklin’s 13 Virtues
1. TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
2. SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.
3. ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part of your business have its time.
4. RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform without fail what you resolve.
5. FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
6. INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
7. SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
8. JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.
9. MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.
10. CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, clothes, or habitation.
11.TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.
12. CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.
13. HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
