I haven't been canning lately... I feel kinda burned out. So many so so so many batches of jam and preserves and pickles. So I'm taking a break. Which isn't all that smart because it's starting to heat up around here.
We got chickens. Yeah. Chickens. Easter Eggers. And then two died, so we bartered with some neighbors for a few more. And then another one died. *sigh* And then Devin named them after characters in his favorite fantasy books. And that might not have been the exact order that things happened in, but give me a break. There are chickens in the back yard. And I took some pictures of them and played around with them and made them retro artsy fun. So, here you go... Aven is the white one. The brown bigger one is Alexa. The reddish smallish one is Aeris. And the yellowish smallish one is Alianna.
The most important thing about the chickens though? Devin loves them. And since he loves them... I try to too.
As far as the house goes, Dev is still building the first set of shelves for the pantry. I got all fancy pants on him and made him inlay mirror into the shelf ledges and it takes him a very long while. Well, that and we took a semi-spontaneous trip to Wichita. I mean it wasn't like overnight or anything, but it was two weeks in advance that we decided to go. And I'm glad we did. It's nice every once in a while to powow with someone who is married to someone so very very like my hubs. It's amazing what sharing a room growing up will do to you.
I took some fun engagement photos for the bro and his fiancee yesterday. Some of them turned out pretty cute. I was skeptical about their choice of a parking garage to frame their pre-married life and all, but it turned out fine. They're not finished by any means, but they are still kinda fun this way.
