I just have a bunch of random thoughts this evening and am not even sure where to begin. You might be wondering how the pigs are doing - I'll say not that great. At least none of them died this week but their condition and lack-luster appetite is concerning.
In the coops, the turkeys are routinely putting themselves outside of the fence and then calling until I trot out to open the gate so they can go back in. I'm getting pretty well trained.
The pumpkin patch is looking pretty good. I tried to get some pictures out there of the blossoms and one of the bigger pumpkins but they are just not blog worthy, sorry about that - so you get these:
Cheese - Kurt and I made this farmhouse cheddar around the end of October and it has been aging in the wine fridge since then. The flavor is good - quite sharp, but the texture is on the dry side. It does not melt like a store-bought cheddar does so it wasn't a hit in Kurt's omelet. I am really enjoying crumbling it up on my salads and I think it would be good in a pasta salad, so may give that a try.
Spot - She has a talent for finding the sunniest place to nap - here on the dusty backside of the baler.
Hoover - He likes to hang out as close to me as he can, so that means he is frequently underfoot in the kitchen. You might think this was just a momentary pose but I believe he was sleeping when I took this one. The kitchen floor was recently redone in painted plywood (thank you Rollie!). That is working out okay so far although I do intend to put another coat on at some point - this winter maybe?
