Our house stinks so badly that no one wants to love on this big baby! In order to give him a bigger collar, trim hooves and horns we had to first bathe him. You see, fit season is coming on and he is getting ready. Scent glands near his horns are producing oil in abundance. He ribs on everything and leaves an odor that is beyond description. He also likes his brand of cologne and seems to attract the girls this way. Which way? Well, he urinates on his beard and legs and drinks it. Boy is he strong
Guess his mama never told him that a little goes a long way! As soon as I got him rinsed he figured too much smell was gone and started the process again...sigh... At least I got his hooves and one horn done! And then took immediate abrasive showers!
These are beets and horseradish from the garden. I used the beets to make a beet cake. I decided I will have to try this with green zucchini at Christmas! As you can see, Z thought it was delicious. Now O need to come up with time to pickle and freeze the other 50 beets. Good thing most of the girls like beets!
Elderberries G and I picked from one patch. We are drying and selling them. This box was solidly filled...a 18x8 box. So far I have about 15 cups of dried berries and half of the box to go. I have made elderberry syrup and elderberry tincture. Lots of dried berries for tea and to sell. $1.50 per 1/2 cup.
FYI...when you handle a buck during rut. . . use disposable gloves. The leather one of B's are so strong even after being in the rain and sun for a week. . . I don't want them in my house or even in my washer!!
