We had a loss at The Acre this week, a hawk killed two of our egg ladies. The first bird made it home to the coop with a hole in her, we thought she had been shot. Until the second bird made it back to the coop with a hawk on top of her. In police work, we called that "a clue".

| Red tail hawk, be more accurate |
We have to keep the girls cooped up until this bird of prey finds something else to feed on, they are illegal to kill, so we gonna have to wait this one out.
Other than hawk drama, we had a typical week. We made butter, smoked meat, and did some baking.

| Fresh butter |

| From scratch dinner rolls, to eat with the fresh butter |
One DIY project we did was canning related. We ran out of home made pizza sauce after Big Man figured out how to make from scratch pizza dough. So we broke out a few of our remaining cans of tomatoes, and whipped up enough for another dozen pizzas.

As always, we leave you with....
