One of our neighbors beautiful chickens decided to lay her nest right beside our front door. We all had been seeing this chicken making a long run down the dirt road up to our place but didn’t think any thing of it until 3 days ago. I was making tofu inside and I kept hearing our dog Pickle bark.  After a while I went outside to see why and there were 3 baby chicks on the ground! They were so cute and fuzzy yellow and they were peeping at their mother who was up above on the brick divider.

I picked them up and placed them back with mom and ran inside to get my camera to take picture.

We thought there were only 3 chicks, but then we found out there were 9! And three more eggs that have not hatched yet.

Day 1

Day 2

 Sunday night, Mom come over for dinner and brought a big suprise with her.  She had about 6 lbs of banana peppers,  2 gallon jugs of apple cider vinager, and a brand new pack of pint size canning jars.  She had a big smile on her face and said were canning banana peppers!  I have never canned anything in my life. It was so much fun and easy.

This is only a small amount of the banana peppers! We had 3 bowls full.

And the final product.  I can’t wait to try them.

Next is pickling Okra!
