Well family...........our garden is coming along nicely...........big thanks to Mike for all his efforts there. We now have planted: rhubarb, beets, onions, kohlrabi, rosemary, lettuce, parsley, comfrey, celery, squash, radishes, carrots, bush beans, potatoes,chiles, sunflowers, garlic, corn and chard....of course, the grapes are still there as well as all the strawberries. All the fruit trees are in full bloom and the bees are a buzzin! Ray and I spent the last two days bucking up that massive old oak tree that was uprooted and fallen into the creek down by the Spiderdome, into stove sized pieces (there's a lot of freaking wood there). I've learned quickly to cut "uphill" and send the wood "down"! Its gonna be quite a chore to get all that wood up to the wood punky! Would be sweet to have the PowerWagon up and running....I gotta see that beast in action! Weather is great here once again. Has been for the last two days, and will be, in the mid-70s for the rest of the week.......great warm weather for frolicking in the sunshine without a stitch on! Mageline has really upped her milk production.......guess she was seeing to many people eyeing her more as a meal than a milk supply (she got the message quick)! We've got a few visitors here right now and we're thoroughly enjoying their company..........come on up and see us Bears!
