Straw Hats, Black Caps and Chicken Cards

Group photo of the straw hat wearing artist farmers.  Eleanor, myself and Naomi.

Then Crook came along.  He is a cuddly one!

I went foraging for blackberries for 2 and a 1/2 hours.  I was covered head to toe to avoid being eaten alive by mosquitos.  I was dripping sweat and my hands and arms have many scrapes from the brambles but it was worth it!

Three pounds of blackberries!

And I made Wild Blackberry Jam! A couple weeks ago I made Rhubarb with Rosemary and Honey Jam and it was incredible.

I love searching through the garden to figure out what to make for dinner.  There are so many veggies growing now!

I have been making chicken business cards.

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.
