food for thought - eat less meat - it really does take a life...

Assisi: Week 12

She is free to roam off into the woods, and every morning she follows me up behind the house.  I am hoping she will get with another family -  a deer family.  She follows me around right now, but soon she will feel confident enough to stay on the pasture without us.

Sometimes she likes to help Gene in the Workshop!

The buddy system!!!

The dog run

The dogs get run regularly and it is great to see them on a full sprint.  This is them after a swim in the river when I leash them for the return trip back to the barn!

...the dogs are in great shape because they get a full out run and swim regularly - they are lucky to have the land on which to do it!!!

Another Rain Soaked Summer

We have been riddled with increasing rainfall here near Cooperstown, NY.  The tomatoes are green and ready to ripen.  Now is the time they need summer sun to become sweet and juicy - like any fruit.

Signs of early and late blight continue to sneak up on the plants each year - without sun - the disease progresses and kills the plant.

We plant lots of tomato plants but Mother nature is not cooperating!  Next year we'll just grow crops that do well in wet conditions - the kale and swiss chard looks great...
