I think the garden is soggier than last week. The forecast is for more soggy weather and then warm and sunny toward the end of the week. Our tilling plans are revised again.
In anticipation of hard work in the garden, we took the week off from homeschooling, but today we're indoors. The next thing on the list is wall washing and touching up paint so that's the focus of our attention. After my mother-in-law died but before we moved in we had the whole inside of the house painted. It looked so fresh and new. After two years of living, that fresh look is gone. There are nicks, holes, and stains. Today we started with filling in holes and washing walls.
Our last butternut squash in the cellar are looking sorry. After cutting off the soft spots, the rest went into the oven.
Part of the benefit of being a "licensed" raw milk seller is that the State Dept. of Agriculture does regular testing of our milk. It's nice to know. Our first testing came back good except the somatic cell count, an indication of sub-clinical mastitis. We fought a case of mastitis last November, but those cells shows that a low-grade infection is still in progress. Now we need to make a plan on how to deal with it.
