Chores and Tasks

[fitzw]

I haven't posted one of these for a while — thought I would see if I could get back in the habit.

For today:

• Reset traps for rats in barn
• Feed chickens
• Gather eggs
• Wash eggs (done by helwen)
• Candle eggs
• Sort eggs by weight
• Deliver eggs to hardware store (for resale) and local restaurant (with Helwen)
• Make granulated maple sugar for cotton candy

No, really, that granulated sugar iswas in process — I'm typing this on my laptop next to the industrial stove.

Tomorrow:

• Feed chickens
• Gather eggs
• Wash, candle, and sort eggs
• Deliver more eggs to hardware store
• Add fresh bedding to hen nests
• Sift granulated sugar
• Kung Fu class in evening
• Dinner out after class

ETA: First batch of granulated sugar is done.

About 50 a day -- I put them in a dilute solution of white vinegar, scrub off any nest bedding that sticks to them with a soft brush, rinse them, and then space them out on a tray lined with a white towel to dry.

I should note that I use a soft brush so that I remove as little of the bloom as possible. Helps keep the eggshell sealed.
