   Well the fun has begun in collecting eggs.  I guess you could say that we have been at it since about the beginning of July.  Started out slow, one or two a day, now we are up to nine eggs a day.  One thing that I really like is that we have one that is laying double yolks.  Considering we have 10 hens I guess that makes up for the one that's not laying.  My husband Jerry says that he needs to go out and have a talk with them, that someone is laying down on the job. 
    I have also started collecting from the garden and canning.  I might be at it a little later then some but that is ok.  At the moment I have made salsa, tomato sauce and caramel onions (which I have not tried yet).  I'm in the process of making pickles, sweet pickle relish and dried cherry tomatoes.  Like I said before it's not easy but sooooo worth not having to go to the grocery store to buy these things. 
     Well, I have jabbered on enough, will go for now.
