Need Some Corn for the Ribs

Smoking ribs on the deck and realized I didn't have a side dish. Pearce, Claire and I ran down and whipped off a few ears of corn.
I wrapped the corn in aluminum foil (shiny side in) and tossed them on the warming rack of my grill. They'll roast for about 30-40 minutes and we'll see how they do

Time To Make The Butter

I started making some butter from the cream I skimmed off the milk I got this week. When the punkins got dressed they had to "help." Pearce even showed Mr. Artichoker, his pet turtle.

My next project with this milk is to make some mozzarella. Stay tuned for that. Oh and there may be video later.

An Hour Before Daylight

I know it's not an hour before daylight now, but I have already done a load of clothes, set up and started the irrigation (sprinkler, still haven't fixed any of the soakers), made coffee, caught up on my devotionals, and just now realized I need to go post today's devo for WPC.

I need a detached workshop so I can work on stuff during this time. Actually, putting an under deck roof on the deck would do. I really want to refrain from putting any structures in the yard for now. I want to get what needs to go gone (stumps that have turned into gigantic bushes and the ivy in the corner) before I add much of anything. 

A Little Farming, A Little Chilling

Farmer Small and Farmer Big chillin' like villains (or pirates) in the pirate deck boat.

The Latest Addition to the Farm

Kristi brought this pepper home yesterday. Gonna put this one in a planter and watch it take off.

Slowly I'm Getting the Garden Under Control.

I let the garden get a little ahead of me. Slowly, but surely, I'm getting the weeds down and manageable. I'm going to try and get the mantis running to help get the big weeds out of the way. Otherwise it will be elbow grease and Lucy hoe for me.

All In A Days Work

This is my first client's (neighbor) front yard. It's nice and small. The backyard is about half an acre though. Just got the front done yesterday. Busy, busy, busy doing Extended School Year, getting the yard, having a dishwasher delivered, and picking the kids up. I've been doing this yard for a month now. I'm picking up a new yard today. Hopefully the will come geometrically, not arithmetically.
