From Town to Country: A Wife's Tale

• Saturday, March 8, 2008 - Soup Bones?

Posted in Family

After reading Kelli's blog at sugarcreekfarm.net, I decided I'd try my hand at making vegetable beef soup using some of the soup bones that were in the bottom of my freezer.  I wasn't sure I'd ever use them up.  I gave Kelli's recipe a try and I must say it was a big hit and so very easy.  I added some seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder).  This recipe is definately a keeper for our family.

Madison spent some time with her bunnies, she has 18 babies at the moment and spends time with each one socializing them.  7 of the little rascals will be ready by Easter for new homes.  Here she is with her favorite baby mini lop, Caramel

Rich was at the farm today doing chores and called me to say he found 2 blue chicken eggs.  I guess Clara (lone chicken) decided she was a chicken after all.  You see, she was a rescue chicken from the humane society and was living/bonding with 8 goats on my friend Beth's farm.  When the goats and Clara came to live at our farm, Beth mentioned she never got a single egg from Clara.  Rich told her that since Clara thought she was a goat, she'd have no reason to lay an egg since goats don't lay eggs. lol  Anyhow, we are happy to know our little hen is laying eggs.

Well, I'm off to bed.

About Me

We've been working on the family farm for 3 years trying to get it back to a working farm. The farm was neglected for 15+ years before we took it on. The summer of 2008 is our family's first experience living in the country, so began our journey from town to country...
