I can't believe the days are getting away from me. Seems like my feet just hit the floor and its already past bedtime before I turn around. Hidden Haven is keeping me busy but I am loving it. I am waiting to see if Bonnie and Clyde are going to hatch goslings tonight. All the piglets and momma pigs are doing wonderfully. I have to break Tessa the turkey heart tomorrow and remove her eggs. She has been sitting so patiently and they were due to hatch today. I checked and every egg is rotten with some of them already collapsed. She and Fred have watched all the babies around and wanted some of their own so badly. I hope she will start laying again this year. I haven't had a chance to get back in the gardens. I have a ton of seeds and seedlings begging to be put in the ground. This weekend is my plan for that if nothing happens. Rusty is going crazy trying to keep check on all his farm babies. He is not liking people coming to take any of them away but will have to get use to it. He walks on his hind legs following them all the way to their cars trying to see his baby. Then as they drive away he looks at me like I am a mean old lady and goes inside and hides under the sofa. That is life here at the homestead. Never ending days but boy are they filled with blessings.
I have had several requests for the strawberry bread and the strawberry butter recipes so here they are. Enjoy!

I've copied the recipes and will be trying them soon. They sound great.
I hope you don't get attacked when you try to remove the eggs. I know that geese can get pretty fiesty.
