Busy, Busy

Right now is the busiest part of the the summer. The garden is going great guns, the organic cherries have arrived and are in need of processing right this minute before they go bad, the hay has to be put up, pesto has to be made, the garden weeded, garlic pulled, etc. Out of the twelve boxs of cherries that we started with, there are only four left!

The bale(idiot cube) tally as of now, is 926 or 18 tons. That's off of three fields, and there are two medium sized fields left. The next on the list is a fourteen acre field right next to the one that we just did, and the one after that, the last one is about eight acres.

We got 423 bales off of this four acre field. The pasture behind the little grove of hawthorn trees is the next in line.

Yesterday, while it's still cloudy, and before the horse shoer came, me and mom hauled seven or eight wheelbarrow loads of sawdust and dumped it into the turkey brooder before they come this morning.

While we were hauling wheelbarrow loads of sawdust for the turkey poults, I caught Jetta doing this:






















And mom found these when she was weeding the tomato jungle in the greenhouse... .
