We made a beet and
zucchini smoothie today. Think pink. We also put yogurt, mango juice, and frozen strawberries in it. Still not sweet enough.....added
ice cream ......perfect. It was all
slurrrrrrrped down in about five minutes. Good stuff. Very pink. But very, well, earthy.
Ok, fine, there was a very distinct flavour of dirt that we had to add more ice cream to hide. Apparently that's just what beets taste like? I assure you they were thoroughly scrubbed and all dirt was removed prior to being smoothied!
Today we also made cheese noodles, weeded a bit, played with chickens, caught up with mama friends, planned out the week.
The pigs are on the pasture now and look so much happier. They come when they are called and it is so adorable the way they bound and trot.
All in all it was just a very quiet, little day. We needed a day like that. Also, I am sorry I made you cry Aunt Bee. Very very sorry.
My little sister is getting married, yippee! To Aunt Bee: I am so very happy for you. Please ignore my little selfish tantrum. I love you. <3
We've harvested about 65 pounds of strawberries and I've given half of those away. Sharing the love. Also, my fingers started to bleed so processing ceased to be fun. The berries just keep on coming. Next up, gooseberries, mulberries, and then blackberries.
Mother, wife, sister, friend. This is our second year on the farm, a dream we've had since we were first married. We unschool, AP parent, and grow our own food (or try to).
Anyway, this is the pig house Dearest built. We'll paint it soon.
They are so very happy now. They bound out to see me when I bring them food.
My helper.
This little piggie stayed home.....
We fried them up in cornmeal and Cajun seasoning. Mmmmm m m m m m. These are bullhead catfish, the largest here is about 12 inches, but they caught a 14 incher tonight.
