Yesterday our two girls Molly and Whitney were the 1940’s Kitchen Mamas. They are travelling together, have known each other since kindergarten, though they go to different colleges now and like all old and fast friends are a perfect team. And by the end of the day after making bread, muesli cookies, ice cream, quiches for lunch and pizzas and salad for dinner – they had sore feet. But were very proud of their work, and we were very happy to eat it!
What a perfect way to have a holiday with your best friend. They will be here until Monday.
Fede worked on the Enterprise with some help from Tane and the naughty goats. Very naughty goats.
Later. We ate outside – observed by a pride of cats laying in the sunflower patch.
I hope you have a lovely day.
We will. Fede is the kitchen Mama today. The girls will be outside with me though it is meant to rain.
Life is Great!
Love your friend on the farm,

p.s. Almost forgot to tell you. We all sat around the table in a very dark room last night and candled the turkey and peacock eggs. It was almost a religious experience seeing all those little developing embryos. Everyone was terribly quiet as I slowly lifted each egg into the light. We even saw one move. AND every single one has started to develop. The girls are so disappointed that they will not see them hatch. But at least they have seen the candling. Exciting stuff! Molly took some photographs – I will see if we can get one to show you tomorrow.
Love, love,

I am fascinated by candleing eggs- I sure hope your photos work! Have a terrific day!
I keep repeating myself what joy I get from supervisors Ton and Boo . Always in the thick of things. Love the goats. I note Fede is left-handed. Love the cats in the sunflower bed. I can’t wait to see candling photos and sunflowers all grown up.
Good work on your candling! It’s a magical experience. I have some photos to share, too, the moment I get approval.
Youe candling is especially exciting! tThough you don’t see many of these Spanish blacks anymore. c
I cannot wait to see baby turkeys! Cannot WAIT!
Molly and Whitney sound like they have found a home from home. Exciting news about eggs, I have fingers knees and toes crossed!
Sunflowers are not doing well here. Too wet. I think they are rotting before they get a chance to sprout.
Oh how miserable. Bad luck..
There will be a few sad and reflective moments when the girls go . . . and Fede will forever have a connection with the farmy . . . but am thrilled that the gals will return to College with skills unable to be learnt there and stories of which most classmates will be jealous . . . many of us cannot make bread and as many balk at ice cream . . .
How wonderful that 2 old friends have come to enjoy The Farmy together, and make new friends. Love the photos especially the field of ginger kitties 🙂
How delightful are your farm guests! More memories being made to last a lifetime.
