Sourdough Starter

-

Yep! I am going to try and make sourdough! I am so excited!



I am using a recipe from Bless This Mess Blog. Her name is Melissa and she has so many wonderful recipes! 

I bought mason jars from Target.


I also bought a wooden spatula from Ballerina Farm. I was told that using metal isn’t good. But I’m not sure. I haven’t done to much research about that, yet!


Yesterday, January 6th was the day I started my starter. I have to feed it (give it flour and water) every 24 hours (give or take) for about a week. Once it’s pulled enough natural yeast from the air and gets nice and bubbly then I can start making bread! 🎉 




Today I fed it. I hope it’s working!

If you want to see videos (they aren’t working for me to upload them on here) you can check out our Instagram (Hechfamfarm98).

I’ll keep updates here as I go along!

Here is our Pink Chicken Coop that we did ourselves. We built it in 2019. Nick built it and the kids and I painted it. He came up with the plans, after showing him some I liked, and built it. Then Brichette painted the Sunflower 🌻 and bee 🐝 on it for me. It wasn’t very hard to build and didn’t cost much. I love it so much!  We added party lights and pink lights for the night. 🤩

Today is National Popcorn Day (along with National Tin Can Day and Get to Know Your Customer’s Day). We love popcorn! 🍿 We eat it all the time.  We like to make our own, but also like the white cheddar Smatfood popcorn, kettle corn, caramel popcorn, from the movie theater, and even some gas stations. Today I made caramel popcorn. I got the recipe from Nick’s mom. You can find the recipe  Here Xander got this popcorn maker as a white elephant gift. This is the white cheddar popcorn we like. Did you know… Popcorn is over 5,000 years old. World War II’s sugar shortage led to Americans to eat 3x more popcorn. It’s gluten free Nebraska produces more popcorn than any other state. Unpopped kernels are called Old Maids Americans eat 17 Billion quarts every year. It’s the state snack of Illinois. What are your favorite flavors of popcorn?

Rain Chain

  We bought this watering can rain chain last year at Western Gardens, but I couldn't decide where to put it.  Well, I finally decided on putting it in the front yard. I really like it here.  I get to see it everyday and I can enjoy it through all the seasons. I like having stuff that isn't common... That no one else has.  This rain chain is unique to me.
