I woke up at 4:30 am to have a video chat date with David who was just going to bed. I ended up going to bed much later than I planned because of my visiting last night.
Sally continues to improve. I’m giving her nutritional yeast and some sucanat to stimulate her appetite. She is like a junkie when it comes to that stuff.
I took a nap. I got maybe 30 minutes of sleep and that was quite helpful.
I tied up the tomatoes to the trellises with strips of old T-shirts. I also weeded the tomatoes. There was a lot of amaranth growing taller than the tomatoes. I fed the weeds to the pigs. There were 3 ripe tomatoes! the first.
We went to my parents’ for dinner. They made burgers and beans and wonderful ice-cream parfaits. Yummy. Andre drove us there and back.
I gave buttercup a bath tonight with me.
Milk Stats: We milked 6.89 gallons; Sally gave 25.3 pounds or 3.02 gallons; Janie gave 19.7 pounds or 2.35 gallons; Annie gave 12.7 pounds or 1.52 gallons; we collected 26 eggs or 2.17 dz.
Andre got registered for his next semester at CNM
