Baking Day

We don't see the sun but the Moon sure is wonderful at this time of year.    The Magpie showed up along with the lone Raven for half an hour and then they were off to check for the Wolf pack.  They are a sure sign that the pack is near by.

 The two Sussex Chickens stopped laying eggs about 4 days ago.  They were down to one egg every 2 days for a bit.  Now it is back to EGG REPLACER, the most unsatisfactory product.  It is just corn flour etc.  If any one knows how to get dried real eggs let me know.
The frozen Blueberries with a little flour, sugar and butter make a wonderful pie.  I tried canned pie fillings and they are just junk.  Too much sugar and corn starch.

FROZEN BLUEBERRIES ARE A WELCOME TREAT.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES, FLAX SEED-OAT BREAD, BLUEBERRY PIE, CINNAMON COOKIES

 I can make fresh whole -white flour with my Vita-Mix machine.  We buy 25 lb bags of Red Spring Wheat and keep it out in the shed.  When talking to our local Doctor in Atlin about staying healthy out here, he said the best thing you can do is use fresh flour for baking.  After two weeks of being ground it looses it goodness and vitamins.

Bryan roared into the yard happy to be back.  When he came in he said "Sure smells good in here".  Made the effort worth the while.

FULL MOON over the Lake

 It was so spectacular Vikki got out of bed and put her cloths back on and went outside. 

 The Moon rise and the Sun rise are in the same spot... We don't see the sun though until about 11 am.

Hannah is happier out side during the day and a wool sweater keeps her happy.  -9 C.
