We have had a pretty busy week and weekend here at Ole Lake Farm. It was the second farmers market weekend of the summer season and much of the week (outside of our day job hours) were spent organizing and getting ready. This will soon become a routine and not be so rushed.
The view from the milking stand is solidly green these days - yes, including that big John Deere that is still in my way!
I have made some progress on the garden make-over but am not done yet and haven't planted anything out there. Kevin and Rollie continued with their planting this week - buckwheat, sunflowers, and the cornmeal corn are now in the ground.
I guess a highlight of the week has been the little turkey family. Most of the photos I have taken so far have been of their fluffy little backsides as Peanut moves them away from us. She is a good mama and very protective of them. She has taken them pretty far afield on a couple of occasions but has been bedding down in the hayshed with them at night - sometimes on her own, and sometimes with a little herding persuasion from us. We are very pleased that all twelve are still with us.
That is all I have for you this evening. I will be back next week though, and until then, be well friends!
