Just a brief post on the goings-on about the Kendall property...- First off, it is actually our property now! Very exciting. Grampa Joe gave us a huge 'gift of equity,' which made the whole transaction a possibility and reality for us. Big thanks to Grampa Joe.
- Secondly, we've got lettuce coming out our ears...which is also exciting, though also exhausting to keep up with it all. Washing, rinsing, spinning and whatnot.
- We found out we have a rooster, who will - no doubt - be dinner this fall. I've got to try it out this year so I know if I can process meat birds next year, and Thatcher is going to give me the opportunity.
- And lastly, a snippet of conversation from yesterday in the car. We had just passed several pieces of large scale farm equipment used for spraying crops. Elise thought they were bulldozers, and I was explaining that no, they were used to spray chemicals.
Wyatt: "Why?"
Me: "To kill weeds and to kill bugs."
Wyatt, in sad voice: "But bugs are good for the world..."
Me: "I know; you're right."
Wyatt, emphatically: "They're not using their brains!"

Big congrats to the Kendall clan!!! Land owners! Woohoo! We are planning on coming back out this summer, so must call you all...

Just a thought on your rooster friend. He may well be good protection for your ladies, and if you have a hen who becomes a good mama, you can replenish your own birds. LeRoy, our old rooster who was killed by our dreaded fox from down the lane, was a good old boy. I miss him.
If you do cook him up, I wish you luck. Make a stew that simmers for hours.
Now we just have to figure out how to get you and your clan our here to bottle feed these goats for me.
