The days here have been sunny and warm
my husband has been busy planting tomato...
pepper, eggplant, cucumber, ochra...
more corn and watermelons
I planted more butternut squash which are doing well
somewhere out there on the homestead...
a hen has been laying her eggs where I couldn't find them
well, while my husband was weedwacking in one of the small cornfields...
these eggs suddenly appeared
muddy but, still good
she had made a nice little nest under one of the corn stalks
it surprised me that rats or opossums didn't have late night dinners of them
since then, my little cornfield hen has gone back to laying eggs in the coop...
the more appropriate place, of course
speaking of eggs in the cornfield...
we've been eating some nice corn
always roasted because it's so much nicer than boiled
we've had quite a few and are leaving the rest of them to dry...
for cornmeal and chicken feed
and plenty watermelons have been produced by the vines
my husband kept bringing them up...
and going back for more till he had enough to sell to the market
of course, we have been eating them, too
even our chickens and cow have been getting the rinds which they devour
for a really nice drink for two people...
put two cups of cut up watermelon (de-seeded) into a blender
put in two big tablespoons of plain yogurt
1/2 cup of coconut milk
1 tablespoon of raw honey
blend together...
and enjoy!
and what about Meshach?
he now has a new home with a medical student...
who fell in love with him and has also trained dogs for blind people
I couldn't be happier
May your day or night be blessed in the grace of the Lord.
