Dinner - Steak, Potatoes and Corn freshly pick out of the garden.
Spaghetti Squash Cooling - when cool, just take a fork and scrape out inside of squash and it comes out looking like spaghetti noodles.  Very delicious.

To Cook Spaghetti Squash place in pan with a little water - bake at 350 degrees until tender.
Beeswax - mashing it to drain the honey out.

The Circle of Life

Little Bunny Foo-Foo did not make it. :(  We had hoped that we could be a surragate mom to baby bunny but it's just too hard to keep a newborn bunny healthy and alive in captivity. I'm sure this is just one of many baby bunnies we will find on the farm.

Craigslist is the place to be....


Yesterday we spent 6 hours on the road to pick up a John Deer 2 row planter that Cris found for sale on Craigslist. It was in Huntingdon, TN which is a little North East of Jackson, TN. We had to drive from Memphis, to the farm to pick up the truck & trailer, drive through the pouring rain (not complaining....so glad it rained) and by the time we picked it up and ate dinner (note to self....do not eat at Bailey's Restaurant, Wildersville, TN ever again), we decided to just head home with the truck, trailer and planter.

When Cris went to the farm this morning to drop the truck off, the rain gauge said it had rained 2 inches on the farm.....hurray!!!! He also took a picture of one of the sunflowers I had planted long ago that is finally opening up.

The bunny we rescued ("Foo-Foo" we call him), has taken to the eye dropper and his new mommy, Cris, is able to get a decent amount of food into him. Not sure when he will open his eyes but I think he will survive to roam the farm when he's older.
