THIS & THAT.

The last harvest of sweet corn....sadddddd.
Some experiments in sun drying going on in our high tunnel.
Opal and Livi glitterized this poor little snail with some nail polish.
Our favorites - Cherokee Purple - at market in Nashville.
Apple and plum wine - from heirloom varieties we picked up in Somerset.
The view from our porch right now - Bugtussle's rams have to stay out of the herd for a few months, so we are putting them to work on our poison ivy!- Hannah.
A DAY IN PHOTOS: SOMERSET.
We had a wonderful time at The Market on Main in Somerset last week, seeing old friends and making new ones, eating lots of good food, and leading a sauerkraut demo! Here are some photos from our day.
GUINEA UPDATE.
Our guineas are growing! They are getting so big (and so LOUD). We are hoping soon to start letting them free-range - right now, they are in a portable coop that we move several times a day. We tried letting them loose last week, but the dummies did not come back to roost - choosing to sleep on the GROUND in a big pile in the woods. Knowing they would be promptly eaten, we put them back inside their coop for a bit longer, trying to get them used to roosting there.Any ideas? Should we just let them out and hope for the best? Or wait a big longer for them to get acclimated to their little perch in the coop? We are eager for them to be FREE and start eating all of our ticks!- Hannah.
