Love that Lilac aroma

Dan helped me trim up some of the trees. I brought in branches of the Red Bud tree and they have made a spectacular display in the keeping room on the end of the piano. Abby had her turkeys outside. They basically huddled in the corner together. The hens, the "girls", gave me only 4 eggs yesterday and 4 today. Hopefully, 6 will appear tomorrow. Had to wait for them to lay a few before I could make cookies. I used Mom's chocolate chip recipe, but substituted 3 cups of whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour. The end result was definitely different, but still yummy.

Today, Abigail and I went to Molly's for Spanish and to see their pullets. Then, Abs drove from Molly's to school. The longest trip yet for her, I think. She'll start driving classes soon.
Betsy brought Violet up. She was SO cute. Vi's at that age where she picks up every little scrap off the floor and brings it to you. Walking around the farm she's decided to pick up all the sticks. That's cool with me! We got out the wheelbarrow and she filled it up with all the sticks laying around after the winter. Later, she pushed Betsy and me on the hammock. I think they call that Child Labor.

I cut some of the purple Lilac and filled two mason jars. Heavenly Sweet Aroma!
