I can hardly believe that it is State Fair time already! Wow what a summer we’ve had. I meant to make a post and call it, “Haying Season, It was the best of times and the worst of times”. But then haying season was long since gone and the post rather stale. Maybe when I get back from Fair I’ll revive it as: “Summer it was the best of times and the…best of times!”
It truly has been a great summer and I am sad that the blog took a far back burner and I haven’t shared my summer with you Dear Reader. Give me one more week and a day and I will be back to the blog better than ever.
The Fair will be over on Sunday, by midnight Sunday the turkeys will be back to the farm, Bet, Dirt and I will collapse into bed then wake up and do the necessary on Monday and Tuesday. And then, barring catastrophes, Bet and I will both be getting back to a less harsh schedule, one that includes keeping up on our blogs and staying in touch with dear friends, far better than we have for the last four months!
I have lots to share!
Like how Bet, who turned 21, July 1st, got us started on sheep milk and how I’ve made sheep cheese. The Market Garden changed again and more changes are in the works (imagine that?!) and I’m so excited for the next phase! The grandbabies are growing and another is due the first part of October! And we are about to experience an El Nino winter! For us that means warmer and dryer than usual to which I say, Yahoo!
See you soon Dear Reader!
LOVELY to have you back!

Good to hear from you! That is some cake Bet got for her birthday..beautiful..both she and the cake! Lovely photos of your grands..and a new baby coming too..what a lucky Grandma you are:)
She’s alive – hooray! always good news to see what is going on at Vicktory Farm – your girls are SUCH gorgeous people – and yes I’d like a slice of that cake please. Missed you this summer but it hasn’t been the best of times for me – but the Lord provides and I’m leaning on that. What about puppies? oh and plans for extending the crops? and – well you know me – I am wanting to hear it all without sharing a thing with others on my blog – don’t know if I’ll ever get back to it – life just ain’t the same in so many ways – but then – there’s the fair and it is time — seasons and alla that stuff
It’s so nice to see you back blogging, Lanny. You were missed. Great pictures! Sounds like you had a busy summer, and a good one too! Happy belated birthday to Bet!
Sorry to hear of your Charles Dickens haying season. We had incredibly dry weather too.
It must be all of us meat eaters.
I missed you greatly during the summer months but certainly understand. Congrats to Bet on her 21st bday!!! She looks beautiful. May I have her blog address??
