Good morning, Steemians! 😊

I was trying to get a picture of the cute little Hummingbird house and one of our pigeons decided to photo bomb it and took my cameras focus away. 😊

We got to spend a bit of time outside this week and H&T stopped by to visit each time we did. 😊

I made several batches of buns and a few loaves of bread last week, this was one of the batches of buns, fresh from the barbecue. 😊

This week’s loaf of bread. 😊

I can’t believe we’ve eaten almost six dozen cookies in the past week, they were a few different varieties. I’m glad I made a whole bunch and froze them, or we wouldn’t have any for dessert tonight. 😊

I went and purchased a drawer organizer off of the site Temu and when it arrived, I let my OCD-side free. I think it turned out quite nicely. 😊

Our house pepper plant went outside a while back and has peppers growing on it. Yay! 😊

Our handsome rooster Sandy and the hatchlings out for a prebedtime stroll. 😊

We enjoy just sitting down with friends for a snack and chat. 😊

Our potatoes look amazing this year. 😊

We had some older jars of applesauce in the basement that needed to be used up, so I went looking on YouTube, found a recipe for “Old-Fashioned Applesauce Cake”, made a few changes and substitutions to suit our tastes and this is how it came out. 😊

This is the basic “Old-Fashioned Applesauce Cake” recipe, cut in half and put into cupcakes. 😊

A friend of ours was going into the Costco in Fredericton and asked if we wanted them to grab anything for us, so, of course, I said “yes, a couple of their chickens please” and after stripping the meat off of the bones and putting the carcass in the freezer for later use, we made some lovely chicken sandwiches (above), chicken fajitas, chicken nachos and a couple of omelets. 😊

Look, @goldenoakfarm, Half-Penny stopped by this week. 😊

Half-Penny telling another squirrel to, buzz off, from the railing. 😊
image.png
This looks like a squirrel doing push ups, but they’re stretching, LOL. 😊
image.png
I told Half-Penny that I wanted a good picture of his handsome face for you to enjoy @goldenoakfarm, and this is what he gave me. I hope you like it. 😊
image.png
This is our first year for growing asparagus here, so we aren’t sure if this is good growth or not, but to us they all seem to be doing well. 😊
image.png
I’m grateful our hatchlings didn’t kill this one when they escaped. Thankfully, I was near by and could shew Caramel away from it before she pulled it out or ate it. Time to trim some hatchling wing feathers. 😊
image.png
Ducky’s feathers are coming in so pretty. 😊
image.png
We had a new pigeon come by this week, we’re calling her, Angel. 😊
image.png
Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! I’m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. 😊 God bless you all. 😊 Have an awesome week everyone! 😊
