I’ve only planted a few things outside so far, and the tomato seeds I started indoors are dying. I’ve been taking them outside for sun each day and I think spider mites have gotten to them.

Fortunately, we don’t need too much food.

So, now you can milk this goat, too, right? I’d always thought that animals were milked by humans AFTER the calf/kid was done nursing, but noticed at Seven Trees that they started milking their cow right after the calf was born. Makes sense; supply/demand system, afterall. Would she let you do that yet, and have you set up a milking barn?

Too much activity for me to comprehend as we haven’t felt well enough to do much of anything for almost a month now. Just on the cusp of getting rid of our colds, it seems we got infected with ANOTHER cold. I think we nipped that one in the bud, though, with a product I learned about from No. 2’s roommate. ZICAM … taken at the very first sign. Em was even able to mow today.

Funny how life works, isn’t it? Now that I have rain-buckets to catch the rain it rains more than the buckets can hold. We didn’t have any flooding, though. We have sewers that suck small children down the drains, so it’s flash flood watch one minute and totally dried up the next.
