Hello everybody!
So, I have nothing monumental to blog about...only the everyday monumental things. But daily life is just full of things to be thankful for; and I'm afraid I often forget to keep track of them. For this post, I'll just breeze over a few things that have been going on around the place.
I'll start in the jardin!
We really wanted to grow a lot of sunflowers this year (a lot for us means maybe a couple dozen). The unique beauty of these plants wows us every morning. This one especially...looks like it's just waking up after a late nighter :-)
"If one could manage to squint past those most appalling spears of nutgrass, one might observe a fledgling stand of dill."

Milk and los Huevos
We had a glut of eggs for a while...
So I pickled'em. No, it's not gross. At least, Daddy, Emori, and I don't think so.
We always feel so decadent when the goats are in the peak of milking season. We try to drink as much milk and make as much cheese as we can before dry season - the hard, milkless winter (moan)...I mean, it's all or nothing for us.
Anyway, lots of milk means...
Paneer Cheese!
Fresh Paneer for supper. It is amazingly good.
We were blessed to be able to babysit the dear E. family's milk cow while they went out of town. The cow milk produced the best mozzarella I've ever made. While I still love the milk from our goats, I must say, cow milk is really cool. I can't wait until our own heifer freshens for the first time!

And here are a couple of extra "farmicular" things (I invented that word, just in case you couldn't tell).
A lion painting in it's half-finished stage...
those are the noblest looking creatures.
Emori, practicing her cello.
Ahh...sounds like "Master and Commander" soundtrack in here :-)
Or, at least it will soon!
Okay, so that's what's been going on here. Thanks so much for popping in, and may you have a joyful day!
Your's truly,
Callie
