Happy Bastille Day

For all you Francophiles out there, yes today is  Bastille Day, when the brave french people stormed the fortress and released a handful of old people.  So I am not a Francophile.

And tomorrow is Saint Swithin's Day, of which is said:

St. Swithin's Day if thou dost rain, 
For 40 days it will remain.

Don't really want 40 days all in a row.  I have no ark, just a canoe and a kayak, and where would I put the chickens?  It wouldn't be a kayak, it would be a bagak.

On a completely different note.  I just have to share the birthday card I got Jim this year.  If I searched the world over for the rest of my days, I will never find a more perfect card.  Those of you who know Jim will understand.



Well, it finally happened.  I called my friendly neighborhood organic farmer for picking orders, and he didn't need me!  I guess I'll be forced to use the time to do chores around here, like cleaning chicken houses (up to 3 now), harvesting seeds from the garden, picking soy, pulling weeds, etc.  

It's really sad when you will pick someone else's garden just to get out.

I love the country, but need to see more of it.

On a lighter note, I am back in the goat cheese business.  Got my first liter of goat milk and processed it and flavored with savory basil and dill.  I'll see how it tastes tomorrow.  I am still toying with the idea of goat milk soap, but have to figure out where I can make it.  That's on the back burner for now.

and lastly, IAATC
