January has become such an enjoyable time for me! First, no mowing grass!!! Secondly, time to get stocked up on seeds and start planning the garden! I thought it would be nice to pass on some of the resources I like best. For baking, I order our grains and beans through a bread co-op in the Columbus area, who then orders bulk from Bread Beckers. Anyone can order direct, but there is a savings when ordering through a co-op. I do believe you can get connected to a co-op in your area on their site. My favorite seed catalog to browse, is Baker Creek Heirloom. I read it like a magazine! Also, we are going to order chicks special for meat production and compare against the birds we are butchering now. We have received chicks from Murray McMurray Hatchery and Randall Burkey Hatchery. We find reading through these catalogs can be quite interesting. Day old chicks are sent through the mail! We have had about 40 chicks delivered this way with not one loss! We probably will be ordering sometime around March - April. It's amazing to go to the Post Office to pickup your cheeping box! Will definitely post pictures!

To make good use of life one should have in youth the experience of advanced years, and in old age the vigor of youth. Do you think so?
