July jubilee!


snuggling with Aleida. Get well soon baby girl!


me, Aria and Ryan.

sisters, sisters, never were there such devoted sisters

trellising the peas. although i just had to re-trellise with chicken wire because the rain battered them all down onto the ground


the goats going crazy over their salt block on a hot day

Peas!


ryan feeds the goats

shooing the chickens back out of my garden

more plants that aria rescued from the compost heap at Morning Glory farm. this time it's lettuce, bok choi, and multitudes of butternut, delecata and hubbard squash

glowing lilly

bubbles gets a scratch...and tries to eat it. typical goat

desmelda, the youngest goat has just begun lactating for no apparent reason. she's not pregnant as far as we know. i've been milking her twice a day, since i'm the only one who knows how to do it. I have to build a milking platform for her.

sky makes a funny face

desie again

Food? fooooooood!

meeeeehhhhh! foooooood! my food, no mine!

our almost fully grown chicks. they function as a seperate flock of eight and so far they haven't learned how to go into the chicken house to roost for the night.

ryan must not have the latent dinasaur phobia that i have. he's apparently fine with small dino relatives pecking his fingers

Matt shoving the last of the brush into his truck
