Coffee anyone ?

I was at the farmers' market last Saturday. Organic meat farm had a special on lamb, stewing meat, bone in. I decided to give it a try, $6/lb.She said it's from the neck.

What do you think, slow cooker?

I'd probably braise it. Red wine, garlic rosemary, onions etc. There's a bunch of recipes here:

I've gotten some fantastic recipes there.

I'm very sorry. Poor things.

Part of the way this goes. They are dying off fairly quick one or two here and there at a time. Think I'm down to 10 now or less, I stopped counting.

Coffee is ready. Tussling with myself on doing more chickens today or waiting until Monday. I’m really ready to be done. But I’m really tired too. I have a little angel chicken on my shoulder saying wait until Monday, let them live another few days. And a little devil chicken on the other shoulder saying, slaughter them all now!

Beautiful day out -- 60s going to mid 80s

Want to get out there. Finishing coffee. Gonna walk a fence line to be sure it's good, then move goats for the day! Yeah, when going to a new field THEY check fence line and test it too. Just in case it's their wanderlust genetics.

Ducks went from laying 9 eggs a day to 1 (no they aren't molting), all 40 ducklings are dead, none of them made it. Couldn't get none of them to eat or drink, went to bed with 5 still alive to find them all dead by morning.

I’m sure it was that delay in their shipping. When they send you replacements, I hope the weather (and everything else) is favorable.

That’s awful. I’m so sorry about your baby ducks.

Angel chicken won the debate, they can live a few more days.

Worked outside all morning, called it quits about 2pm, knew the sun was going to give me a headache if I pushed it.

While sitting inside, cooling off, this fascinating video popped up on my feed, demonstrating English "hedging". They used the hedgerows as fence between the cattle and the crops.
