This Week

It’s been a busy week but I did squeeze in some hill time to go from this… 

To this. A bit more picking to do but getting there. 

The sun doesn’t come over the mountain until about 8:30 now. It’ll be after 9:00 Dec 21. 

Sent some extra cockerels off to freezer camp

Doing chores by headlamp in the morning sucks but the sunrise is pretty 

Made a yummy cheesecake from chèvre. Cheated and bought crust. Did you know they come in pecan now? It’s so yellow from my egg yolks. 

This poor chicken had a bad case of fowl pox but also somehow it’s eye is infected. Not sure it’s going to make it but she’s up eating and drinking so I’m doctoring. 

Mmmm. Posie your legs are just too short. I did find my beat up, dented 40 year old milk pail. It’s a bit shorter than this new one so using it now. The new one is fine under big tall goats but Posie has really short legs. 

I worked a bit getting grass out of this bed. Will take a few days before it’s all done and ready to plant again. 

Mmm. Pulled some carrots to cook. Not sure if they have nematode damage at all, it doesn’t look like it although forked roots can be a symptom these look more like the soil is not deep enough. I should probably double dig these beds before I try carrots again. 

And I found a heart rock

Today I appreciate that the weather has been really nice.
