Piggy Naps

Business first...

Debbie Garcia, email me your address.

Yours was the random name Hubbs pulled from a hat.

Wear the wrap in good health... it comes with a special

hug from the farm.

(I think I will keep doing this from time to time.)

(I've started another.)

I only wish that I had knitted 60 shawls, so

that I could send a hug to everyone who commented.

That's the hardest part of doing a give-away.

Well, it's Friday, and a rainy one at that.

In spite of this past week's cold temperatures,

I did manage to get a lot of garden chores finished.

Yesterday I tackled the asparagus patch. 

I forgot to take a before picture, but let me tell you...

it was a jungle!

Now it is weed-free and has a fresh layer of compost

on the top.

I did notice a few tiny tips just breaking through the surface of the soil,

so it won't be long until we have fresh asparagus.

Sadly, it is the only time of year that we eat asparagus.

I won't buy it at the store, because by the time it arrives

from half way around the world, there is no nutrition left in it.

And if you have never had fresh homegrown asparagus,

you don't know what you are missing.

It's the best!

We had enough sunshine yesterday afternoon,

that I parked myself in the sheep/pig yard

and soaked in some of its rays.

As I lay there on my back with MaryAnn at my right hand,

I listened to the birds singing and felt the sun on my face.

MaryAnn was peacefully laying there while I stroked her neck 

and everything was right with the world.

For that moment, there was no corona virus, no global warming-

no worries at all.

If you have never napped on some mossy earth, in the sunshine,

with your best piggy friend by your side,

you don't know what you're missing.

If you think you are in need of this experience,

let me know...

maybe we can arrange it when this pandemic is behind us!

Also, if you are in need of dandelions,

I can help you out.

We've got a bumper crop this year!

In case you were wondering about the violets that I mixed in with 

my salad greens yesterday... I couldn't taste them.

They are supposedly good for the circulatory system.

Well, it's the weekend...

which, these days, is no different than the week days.

Our activities will be determined by the weather.

Either way, I am sure we will keep ourselves busy.

Have a good Saturday and Sunday...

and we'll be back on Monday with more tales!

To Kathy S, on the subject of our outhouse.

I could not be happier with this little outhouse.

It's a composting outhouse and it has absolutely no smell.

I would highly recommend a composting outhouse if you are in need.
