OK, so I have been in San Francisco for the past week for Slow Food Nation. I definitely need to step up my timetable for the dairy. When you get out of your area of the country, especially when that area is somewhat isolated in its' foodways you see what's coming. The demand is huge. I also found out today that two small cheeseplants came on line within 100 miles of me in the last month.
My fences are all still down. Bill Hatton said it'd be another week yet. It would go faster if we got some rain. The ground is so hard he said he'd broken any number of posts trying to drive them with the hydraulic tamper; he even broke his tractor mounted augur. Of course it could just be he took another job and is putting me off- but the ground is very dry. One of the small viburnum I put out in the yard browned out in the week I was gone (viburnum is a native dogwood, very heavy bearer of small blue fruits birds rely on for a winter food source).
They also didn't bring any feed while I was gone.
Back into the fray once more...
