Books and Chicks

The Books are Here! (Well, Half the books are here due to a wee mix up at the printers but I  am sure they will do their best to fix up this error today and hopefully send them asap.  Melissa my copilot is onto it and will let us know how that is going.)

However I think we can gently proceed with the sales while I have the girls here to help with the packaging.

So all those of you who wished to buy the Book: Letters for my Little Sister – on Amazon.  It is all set up and ready to go.

I will put this link in the book orders page for you too.

Paypal, cheques and writers can start tomorrow when the Postmistress has done the weighing, etc.  I shall put all that info in the book orders page too and let you know here tomorrow.  All of you who have reserved a book: your books will be set aside with a card that has your name written on it. They will wait for you.

PHEW. This is exciting in a traumatic kind of way.  But I think we did it. We made a fellowship Book. Now  I am dying to get posting.

I am also ordering some fall chickens. I have this theory I want to test out.

I usually start them in the spring and they grow all summer, start to lay in the autumn and then down goes the light, it gets cold and dark and they wind back down ,moult and go into their rest period. Effectively losing a seasons laying while they are young.

So this year, I am going to let them do their growing during the winter and they will start laying in the spring. I have a new young friend who is working with me on this and he has a heated shed and a hankering to put in a couple of acres of vegetables to sell at markets. So we are working together. It is pretty cool to have someone nearby who is as enthusiastic about good food as I am and handy with tools.

We had over four inches of rain yesterday. I don’t think we will be cutting hay, the ground is flooded.

I hope you all have a lovely day.

Your friend on the farmy,
