Do you want help with your vampires?

Good.  We have just harvested lots of fat and delicious garlic.  Maybe I don’t want to share these with the vampires, tell them to grow their own!  They get too much publicity lately anyway. Vampires just ain’t what they used to be!

Once clean of all the dirt, these were plainted into ropes and hung in the new storeroom, Le Cave. Is that right ViV? Le Cave or La Cave.

Charlotte and Peghorn are at war.

Peghorn is getting very fat and shiny on baby pig food.

And the Shush sisters have begun to move him along. Frequently, I hear the cackle and flutter of hens accompanied by the breathy chuckle of little pigs.   

The lavender is coming out. This week I shall make lavender jelly. But not too much because this is the second favourite flower of the bees. Lucerne or alfalfa is the first!   Or maybe borage I shall ask.  Though bees are not big talkers. 

Is that rain coming? No. We are still having a lot of warm wind and it is full of dust as it dries out the cracking fields. The sun just keeps baking down from the rainless sky. 

Someone is showing off!

Good Morning. Daisy has begin calling to me the last few mornings. Standing at her milking parlour  gate.  So i feel a little hurried! Yesterday all together she gave three and a half gallons of milk.  This will steadily increase as she gets stronger. In a few days we will strain some and see if it is ready for us to drink. That will be a wonderful moment, as it has taken us almost three years to raise our own house cow. A long time dream this one.

After chores, TonTon and I are off to see the Old Codger this morning and take him his walking stick. I believe he is in the last week of his stay at the retirement home. Training him from the walker to the walking stick will make him a lot safer getting about the house. So cross those fingers again. I will know more this afternoon.

Take care. Have a great day.
