I’ve had several inquiries as to how my little garden of hope is doing. It’s still alive! And sprouting! Yet looking a bit forlorn, leggy, and neglected. We’re having a slight thaw so I took the herbs outside to the porch bannister for a bit of natural light yesterday. (Do you SEE that green down there? First time I’ve seen green on the ground in a month.)
The above story regarding the herbs should be spoken in the past tense, to be honest.
Not long after I took the herbs outside…..

….SOMEONE…. I don’t think I need to say who.

Let’s JUST CALL HER SPICE….

…knocked the herbs off the porch and down to the goat yard….

….where everyone had a nice snack.

Clover: “Herb salad is almost as good as cookies. Next time, add sugar.”
I told you those herbs were doomed.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

That cat sure looks guilty. And Clover looks…self-entitled.That goat is just uppity.

Well, you cannot report that YOU killed these plants…it was all part of the conspiracy that continues between the cats and the goats! And they were looking soooo good, too. Try again……just get some seeds and put them in your seed starters….most herbs are very forgiving (well not against goats!).

That’s a shame, but what can you do with animals who like to conspire?

You can’t give up, you know. You have to plant more.

I really think you should consider a series of farmyard stories for children Suzanne. You have so many funny and interesting tales to relate.
Re. Pigs,see my post “Eureka” in the forum!!!! might solve another problem

I hope you’ll start more herbs.
My hubby and I listened to a little of your interview but then it was cut off by some annoying pop-up claiming my computer was crawling with trojans, spyware, etc. I’ve seen it a few times before. It’s a scare tactic ad trying to sell a security program and impossible to get rid of without closing the window.
I didn’t want to mess with the website again so didn’t go back, (plus the intro was so long!) but we were sorry not to hear the whole interview. It was great to hear your voice on the little we heard though

Can’t wait until the future adventure with milking cows! And it’s hard to be angry when those sweet faces look up at you. Luckily it’s not too late to start over with the herbs…

I wanted you to know that you have inspired me to start baking! So far I’ve made the cheddar bay biscuits, surprise cookies, snickerdoodles, chocolate pudding cake (brownies next) AND today I made the Pie with Beef and Italian Peppers – it was awesome! (I couldn’t find the ‘medium hot’ peppers and had to get hot, but believe me they are NOT hot at all.) My hubby loved it – Thank you, and Bee, for posting the recipe.
I’ve not tried bread yet, but you never know….I work away from home during the day, but I need to keep busy during the evenings and weekends during the winter months when I can’t get out and enjoy warm sunshine.
Oh how I miss summer!
Take care and a speedy recovery to Morgan’s broken foot.

Thanks for the interview link, just a couple more things to do around the house and then I will give it a try.
