We finally have most of the supplies for a chicken house, so we hope to have that finished in the next few weeks. The garden is marked out, just waiting to be tended. The rabbits are all enduring the winter, and we are expecting two litters of kittens (baby rabbits) in the next two weeks. A greenhouse for growing mushrooms on a larger scale is in the works as well, and we couldn't be more excited. I can't wait to share all these projects with you.

We have been incredibly productive the last two weeks since we came home. Most of our efforts have been focused on building and organizing the new shop (quite an endeavor), but we did find time to plant garlic we snagged at our first trip to the Grandin farmers market. This morning we harvested the remaining basil to dry. I'm going to paint some pretty glass jars to put it in come spring. Do you think there's a market for organic grown and dried spices in hand painted jars? We also marked off the area of our future garden, which has me so excited to find graph paper and begin planning it out. Our first real big garden. Life is pretty incredible. planting garlic garlic point of view we planted 50 cloves total mmmm water them in! basil drying the garden to be  the shop-in progress Live simply, Angela and Jonathan
