Welcome to A Victorian Year in Ontario

Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen, the year is 1865, Her Majesty Queen Victoria has reigned since 1837 and we are in the midst of a prosperous era. The purpose of this blog is to record the daily round of chores, tasks, trials and triumphs of our household in rural Upper Canada (now known as Ontario). We have embarked on an experiment to live a year as close to the way it was done in 1865 as we possibly can. We will post our remarks and await your comments, suggestions and critiques. So join us as we travel back in time.

Chicken tv episode 2 season spring.....

If you want to be entertained , if you want to laugh , turn off your tv and get some chickens,,and then just watch
This morning I threw out some pitch (which in chicken speak is leftovers and peelings ) a bunch of our chickens were near by and ran over to see what the bounty held. I was talking to Ken in the boiling hut and we heard another bunch of our chickens running to beat the band hollering away..Towards the pile of pitch,,,,I am sure they were yelling "wait don't eat it all"..."save some for us".I know this is a "you had to be there moment " but I just had to share..
Oh and by the way ...this years syrup is absolutely amazing.
Talk to you soon
