I ♥ Wednesday

Today I ♥ my biggest boy


Wednesday is going to be the one slow day of my week this year. So I have decided I am going to take a moment each week to stop and reflect on something I love.

Lamb



We have our first little dorper lamb to mummy Jean. She is so very cute and likely to be so very yummy.

Jean is being such a great mum, looking after her so well. Was rather difficult to get this photo.

Now dorpers are suppose to be all white or white body and black head. This poor little lamb is a bit back to front. There are high chances of her lambs also being the wrong colour, keeping her and selling off her lambs may be difficult as she is not a colour people want. Just selling her may work, someone may want a little cutie lawn mower. Otherwise she will create a yummy dinner. After all we did get the sheep to grow our own meat. Knowing what our meat has eaten, the life it has had and knowing it has not been to the abbatoir will make for a much more enjoyable meal.

Frog bread

I stumbled onto a recipe to make frog bread. I thought it would make the perfect lunch time surprise at preschool. So set about the enormous task of making 4 bread doughs, adding colouring to them, splitting, shaping and laying in the correct order to create the awesomeness of the picture directly below.


On our diet we can only use natural coloured food dyes. Things rose oddly and so my frog bread was far from idea. Hmmm I would like to try it again one day though.




ETA: the recipe I used no longer exists on the web so the link has been removed and a picture added instead. It was just a regular bread dough recipe so whatever you normally use just add food dye.

Chicks


We have our first little baby chickens. Such a cute little things. We didn't have great success with our first attempts at an incubator. Only 6 chicks hatched a handful others were very close, I am sure I even heard some of them piping but the temperature changes were just too great for the poor little things. But we still have 6 little cuties to play with.

The breed is Plymouth rock. They are a large breed. Good layers and good for meat too.
