Then last night, just as we were settling in, Grace comes tearing into the house yelling that Delilah (the dog) is throwing up blue stuff in the driveway. It was D-con. TANGENT: we have mice galore. D found one in the bedroom. Grace saw one upstairs and then one ran over her foot in the laundry room and she lost it. Screaming, crying, more screaming. So Mike relented and put out some poison because the Mice in our house can lick a trap clean of peanut butter without tripping the thing. How do they do that!??!! The poison was out for 30 minutes in a closed room and she must have gotten into it when I went in to the laundry room to get a towel or something. So anyway Mike had to take the dog into Salem to get her treated. She is fine of course, but we were up until 1:00 with her so we are tired today. And D seems the only one able to squeeze a nap into her busy schedule.
And that's probably enough bitching for now. Summer vacation is off to a roaring start!
This Week We Will Have:
- Raw milk every day
- Little round cheese in fancy flavors or plain: Saturday
- Maybe Feta later in the week
Other Farm News:
Things are sort of in a holding pattern. Veggies are growing, but not grown yet. Chickens are getting big, but not big enough for eggs or meat. Cheese is aging, but not edible. Berries are blooming or little green nubs, but not ripe. We are mostly mowing grass and fighting weeds and getting ready to start taking down some trees and old logs for firewood this winter. And making cheese, of course.
