Feeding Cows Burdock

I grabbed a bunch of Burdock leaves to feed the big Mama cows.

I got their attention.

Their large tongues tug the burdock right out of my hand and they munch it up within seconds. It is a pleasant sound listening to them crunch. They are so gentle and sweet.

nom nom nom!

Second Page Complete!

I completed the second page of my 18 x 24 inch fabric book about the Feathery Ladies at the Wormfarm!

I made some Strawberry Jam for my Momma.  Naomi and I made Strawberry/Rhubarb jam as well. Yum!

Moo.

A Beautiful Day

Crook sprawled out, absorbing the sun!

Work in progress.

The garden is full and gorgeous! I could never have a summer without growing food ever again.  I see myself always working on a farm, or helping my own little garden grow...or maybe...owning an organic farm of my own someday.  Either way, I have to have my hands in the soil somehow.

Rainbow Chard.

Chard for dinner!

Little apples.

Little pears.

Little squash.

Blackberries are almost ready!

I spotted a little skunk. I got so excited and started to follow her until I remembered they could spray me. I had a terrible image of everyone on the farm laughing at a stinky me.  I decided to let the skunk go.

I am sewing the many colors I have seen on chicken eggs.  I intend for the entire grid to be filled up.

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

Fresh local strawberries!

Strawberry Rhubarb Pie.  It is the first pie I have ever made and I can't wait to bake many more.

Dinner!

My pink ride.  Riding down these Wisconsin hills is amazing...going up them...not so much. 

Potluck Sundays and Rhubarb

Potluck on Sundays. I made a spinach salad with shiitake mushrooms that I sauteed in lemon juice, kalamata olives, capers, garlic and balsamic vinegar. Threw in some red onion and pine nuts on top.  It was delicious. I look forward to our potlucks each Sunday.

Found some Rhubarb...I think I will attempt my first pie!
