We are preparing Trouble for herding trials over the weekend - we will need to be out of the house and on the road by 6:30 which means a lot of chorework done very early. I'm hoping for no more rain as we are beginning to see trees breaking from the sogginess and weight of the water. The gardens are coming along well, the potatoes are just getting ready to blossom and the lettuces are wonderful...the beans are sprouting in just a day or so which seems amazing and Jack in the Beanstalk-like!
The buttermilk from this week turned out excellent and I think we'll be making more for baking. I'm hoping the little buck kids leave this coming week as they're drinking milk I'd rather be feeding the pigs now....speaking of whom --- they are now weighing about 150lbs or more which means perhaps another month before they are off to the big pasture in the sky.
