What a long day! The last few days, for sure.
Monday I made eight loaves of bread, a pound of cheese, hung out two loads of laundry, mowed most of the yard, with the help of Rebekah. It was suppose to rain Tuesday so I wanted to get it done.
Tuesday I went to town to do my mother's hair and go to the local meat/produce market. Packed in the chicken breasts so we should have some to last a few weeks.
It was nice to go out on "date night" though. Ken bowls on Tuesday nights so Tom and I take him in and make a date night. We usually went grocery shopping, or anything else that was necessary because of trying to cut down on driving into town. This week we went miniture golfing and had an ice cream cone!
Today I am really dragging. Made more cheese, took Veronica's kids down to the neighbors (so I should be getting more milk!) and helped put up hay at the neighbors. I should have known that it was going to be a busy day when I tried doing chores myself and let the girls sleep in. I took out Bob and Stan and they are usually always good. This morining they decided to take off into the woods. I donned the spray and hiked the perimeter of our property to find the buggers. I didn't spend a lot of time as I had milk on the stove waiting to be made into cheese. They finally came back smelling really bad from the pond and the flooded trails. I wouldn't mind so much, but I don't want them bothering the neighbors.
On a good note, I took a once over in the garden and found another round of peas, about a quart of yellow beans, and an arm full of carrots. My arm was too heavy with what I found. There are more carrots to cut and clean tomarrow, before we go and hay again!

Is the mozzarella working out now? Your carrots are beautiful. I have never successfully grown them. Did you do them in rows and then thin them?
