Day 222

1. Moving a ton of hog feed around with the tractor.

The feed gets placed into eight barrels which each weigh around 250lbs. I then manhandle two at a time onto the tractors bucket, drive the tractor inside the barn and then unload them onto pallets. Let's just say it's a really good workout.

Day 221

1.-3. From my morning walk  with Juli after toastmasters. I love the caravan!

4. Got the pigs settled in a new pasture.

Day 220

1. God totally made my day when, as we were looking for a parking spot in LO so we could picnic by the lake, we passed a Salt & Straw ice cream truck. Oh yum. Mom and Jacob had never had their ice cream before, so I treated them. :)

2. After a day full of errands, came home and made two blue berry pies. One of which got consumed immediately as Scott and Juli came over to visit. This one is now waiting for tomorrow (breakfast?). Or possibly for Andrew and Daniel once they get home. (Pam Forster's recipe)

3. I also made two peach pies! This one, that I'm too impatient to wait until it's baked to take a picture of, is for John, the owner of our local fruit stand. He gave me two boxes of peaches in exchange for a homemade peach pie. I hope it lives up to his expectations! I, of course, made one for us to eat tomorrow. The recipe came from The Pie and Pastry Bible.

Now it's off to bed once the peach pie is done cooking. 

Day 219

Picked up Jacob from gymnastics camp today (Andrew's teaching camp this week) and here's some pictures!
