Homestead:

Chickens are rocking! we currently have 2 Dozen eggs in the fridge and getting about 5 eggs a day.

I have been not feeling so hot for the last few days so I have been loving my kindle. I can’t believe I havent gotten this sooner. Let me share a few sites with you that deal with books/kindle. I love the Kindle Deal of the day.

I love Goodreads. Be My Friend! Currently reading Mill River Recluse.

I am now working on Clue 2 (7 Clues total)of the Mystery Sock by Knitter’s brewing Company. Dont Forget about this months Contest.
