Summer came for a visit today!

Today it actually felt like Summer is on it's way.  It was beautiful, sunny and quiet.  What better combination could there be.  :)

I woke up a 5:40 this morning, went for a quick walk to cut some salal from the roadside up the street (for a sample bouquet I was dropping off to a client this morning.  Then I made my first batch of granola!  It turned out great!  I'm never going to buy granola again!  It was really easy and it tastes great!


We finished the upper pasture gate today, so I invited the neighbor's goats over for a snack.  They have a very shady lot, so they don't have a lot of ruffage to eat.  My neighbor, Laurie was so excited to see them running around in the grass.  I was dissmayed to watch one of them walk right through the electric fence!  It turns out the bottom line wasn't hot like it should have been.  So Jason had to make a quick fix and then they got the shock they should have the first time.  I didn't want to see them get shocked, but I did need to make sure they were going to be contained!  I think they enjoyed their visit.  They only stayed for about an hour because  it's fresh spring grass, so Laurie wanted to make sure they don't get too much rich grass too soon.    It was great to see them munching on the blackberries!


Maude was so funny today.  She decided to lay in the feed bin.  I've never seen her do that before.  I assume it's because of the warmth of the black plastic.  Whatever the reason, it was pretty funny.



My friend and neighbor, Rachael, came over to help me weed in the garden today.  She made excellent progress while I was off working on the gate with Jason.  She does a really great job.  I'll have to try to remember to take a picture of it tomorrow.  You'll be impressed! :) 

Last but not least, how can something so annoying be so beautiful...

  1. Granola is on my list to try ... what recipe did you use?

    I love your pic of the dandelion. Ry will happily blow the seeds from all of your dandelions - just say the word.
