Our spring break has turned into the spring break that never ends. The world has canceled everything. No church, no school, no eating out, and no extracurricular activities. Toilet paper and cleaning supplies are non existent anymore. All baking isles have been emptied of flour and sugar, and grocery stores are emptying faster and faster. If stores are staying open, then they close early in the evening. The first day of our spring break we did manage to get to the beach, but since then some of the beaches are closed, and all state parks are closed. You can go to the Volusia County beach, but no beach ramp access and if they feel its to crowded they will close it down. School starts on Monday for virtual learning. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, and how this will affect the car business. Cavan is already being told that they will not be getting in any new cars which means no new dents to work on. On the plus side, we will have a lot of extra time to work on our homestead. We recently got 10 new laying hens and a rooster. We have meat chicks ordered. And in 2 weeks we are getting our farm dog that will help keep the predators away from our chickens. We are working on clearing out some the pasture and fixing the fence to get a couple beef cows. I have my garden up and going, and just planted a bunch of bush beans to store green beans in our freezer. I also finally made a successful batch of sourdough bread!! I made sourdough pancakes this morning,which was so good! Next thing I want to learn is how to can tomatoes and fruit.
