The bright spot of the week has certainly been Polliwog going to his new home. I am so excited for him that he gets to go be a pet goat along with his half-brother, Niblet. The family said Niblet has adjusted well and he seems to be spoiled already. He gets rocked like a baby and plays soccer. Here are a few pictures of Polliwog before he left.

It's life as usual for the rest of the livestock, everyone is doing well. The new order of chicks, poults and ducklings arrives next week. So cute and yummy.

"Whatcha got there?"
The crops are GROWING! There are tiny snow peas that will be ready very soon, and everything we planted last weekend has shot out of the ground. We're getting a few strawberries here and there and I'm looking forward to getting enough to do something with. If this hot weather keeps up my spinach is going to bolt before I can harvest it, but it's supposed to cool down again this weekend a little.
And lastly- milking is going well- we're getting at least a gallon a day. While we haven't tried the cream separator again, Chuck has made several batches of delicious cheese. Queso blanco, mozzarella, and ricotta so far. Mmmmm.
That's all for today!
