Bees on the Move
The bees have begun their Incredible Journey. At one foot each day (on the days we remember, anyway) they should make it to their new sunnier spot in about 3 months according to Paul's precise measurements (see below). We picked blackberries AND blueberries today. The blackberries were ours, and the blueberries were from the Koskela berry farm right around the corner from us. After running the blackberries through our juicer three times, we were left with some delicious blackberry sauce for jam and some tasty blackberry seeds for the chickens. Speaking of which.....apparently Rosie is a rooster. She's the second one from the left - the big one with the comb on her head and the big tailfeathers. Oops. I guess that means we'll be able to make chicken babies ourselves! (Well...not exactly ourselves, but you know what I mean!) Patches says hello from the farm! :)

Looking good out there with your animals.
We had an unfortunate visit from some neighborhood ruminants last night, after we unintentionally left the gate open. Deer absolutely sheared our green beans. They left a fair number of beans, but there're no leaves left except at the top of the pyramid that they couldn't reach.
Other victims included a few tomato branches (not many, thankfully), and they nibbled a bit from the raspberries, potatoes, some flowers.
Anyway. It sucked.
what a picture of Patches! She is the queen of the farm. And yay for picking blueberries!
so sad to hear of your deer invasion. sometimes, those deer, i just wanna....you know.
