In case anyone was curious, freshly tilled dirt makes the comfiest sunning spot. Bruno gives it 10/10 stars!

Unrelated, Iā€™m definitely going to need to get a garden gate before I plant anythingā€¦ šŸ˜…

I made a rookie mistake this evening while picking raspberriesā€¦

After several minutes of my berry-muncher begging to hold the berry bowl I agreed to let him hold it. He promptly made it his mission to eat everything in the bowl šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø. I really should have seen it coming but I underestimated how many he could eat and how quickly he could eat them. After finally taking it away from him I realized the extent of my mistake, I had picked about 3 times this amountā€¦ šŸ¤£

In all honesty though, Iā€™ll do it again because I know he really loves his berries. ā¤ļø I just might be a bit more careful with how many he eats in one sittingā€¦ šŸ˜…

Itā€™s exciting when the garden produces enough to make a meal, but Iā€™d like to acknowledge and appreciate when it provides just enough for snacks too. Because I donā€™t know about you and your family but Iā€™m pretty sure we survive on snacks in our house 99% of the time. šŸ˜…

It was such a nice day out today! I was able to get to several things on my to-do-list.

One of those things was pruning our peach tree. I removed new growth that was growing straight up or into the center and also used twine, weights, and some straight sticks to correct the angles of several branches.

Before photo was taken yesterday, you can see that some of the height was reduced and the lower branches now reach a little farther out in the after photo.

PSA - Remember to trim your animals nails.

I was trimming nails on a few of my rabbits today and one of them got spooked. In my attempt to keep her from bolting out into the yard I received another (of many) scratches. Rabbits nails, especially the younger ones, have nails like razor blades. They are all cute and cuddly looking but will also rip you apart if they get scared. šŸ˜…

Iā€™ll definitely be working on handling her more often, plus bring her lots of garden treats as bribery.

Last Friday was a big learning curve! So Iā€™ll be changing a few things for this weekend. Full disclosure, I only got about 90 minutes of sleep Thursday night and only about 4 hours Friday night, those are not sustainable sleep habits for me. It was a rough weekendā€¦ šŸ˜…

So this week I will have cookies and banana bread available on Friday, and sandwich bread and cinnamon/dessert rolls on Saturday. More details on specific items will be announced later in the week.

Additionally the farmstand will be open Friday and Saturday 8 am - 12 pm then again 4 pm - 7 pm each day. If you are wanting to pick up something between 12 pm and 4 pm on either day just get ahold of me and I can have it waiting for you in a cooler out at the stand.

Again, to avoid too much food waste I will only be baking a couple of each item. If you are wanting anything specific be sure to message me before the end of the day on Wednesday!
