A different sort of GREEN.

Here on the farm we have many kinds of green.  Of course, we have the greenhouse where we grow all things green - no kidding.  But we also take recycling seriously as well.  

Doug and I have been married 37 years this month and it didn't take me long to realized I married into a sorting, separating, recycling family.  My father in law sorted out paper, metal, glass way before it was the "right" thing to do.  There was a lot of family joking about this recycling thing but when you take a load of metal to the recycling plant and bring back $200.00 plus - well it's a no brainer. 

This week the older boys have been using the rainy weather to recycling an old boiler from our basement.  If you were to come to our house, you would see containers of aluminum cat food cans and foil, boxes of brass fittings and old wire cords cut from old electrical appliances, and  anything really that says - metal.  

Here a chick, There a chick, Benson's has some chicks chicks chicks.

Here they are.  The little chickies I've been waiting for.  Not really sure what variety other than heavy brown laying hens.  I truly prefer buff orpington's but this was worth the wait.  Every Sunday we stop at the Oneida TSC to, among other things, check out what they have.  Usually, nothing.  But today not only did they have chicks - but they were on sale.  How perfect is that.  $1.00 off of the $2.49 price so instead of 6 I got 8.  Right now they are in a stock tank in one of greenhouses getting used to there new environment.  Molly and Max have already checked them out.
