Really- I am alive just busy.  Between the c's and the other c's chickens and children.. I am very busy.  The garden is almost to the point where I just say DONE!  I am at the place where I pull plants and replace with a few others.  Here is a few pics of the garden. 
Much to the groans of my husband I have decided to learn to make cheese!!.. Homemade cheese with fresh tomatoes..  I think he is worried I will be on the path to a goat but really I can't take ANYMORE animals!  I will be looking for some fresh milk from a local farmer and maybe some fresh goats milk ... I know what you are thinking... crazy girl just go buy some cheese.  HEY --it's science and a challenge!
