The weekend.

A busy weekend and lots got done thanks to my boys Seth and Miles - hardly boys any longer but young men with their own families and responsibilities - they came together on Friday to help out. We expanded the pig area (yippee, say Red and Spot!) and fenced in the garden against the growing but not yet grown chicks. They then continued on to cut and split a pile of wood that I feared was going to become a piece of permanent art in the front yard. Supper with my favorite people in the whole world ended the day. I also planted acorn squash, pole beans and cukes and see that the second planting of potatoes is up.

Yogurt from the goat ladies is in the refrigerator now - a half gallon of it - and I think we may try to make frozen yogurt. I'll check back in with results. Peahen eggs keep coming....

Picked up a soil test kit on Thursday at the extention office and need to get some samples sent off tomorrow so it's off the computer now -
