Adorable Cuteness

So yes, the tomatoes and peppers have moved into the hoophouse...

The cukes have long since moved outside...

But, really this is much more exciting.
Awwww.

The broody hens were successful.  We've got a few cute little chicks in the coop now.

We are quite curious to see what these turn into.  The father is a buff orpington, the mothers are barred rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Golden Comets, etc. etc.  Anyway, they are a fun distraction.  

Yes, in the email, I said there would be turnips.  There are not.  Seems like that succession of turnips is past, but the next one was not quite ready.  Broccoli instead!

By the way, the experimental thyme lemonade from last week was really good.  I might even add more thyme.

Whatcha Eatin?
Kale Chips

Bunch Kale
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
Salt

Preheat Oven to 300.
Rinse and dry kale.
Rip leaves off the stem in large pieces.
Toss leaves with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Arrange in a single layer on baking sheet.
Bake 8-10 min. (closer to 8 min for our oven)

Watch it closely!  The kale goes from raw, to awesome, to burnt in a narrow window.
