And Just Like That, June is Gone

Monday, July 1, 2024
Hello friends,
              Just like that, June is gone!  That was fast!  Those of you who live in the Kansas City area got pelted with rain this morning.  We saw the dark clouds.  We watched the radar.  We heard reports about flooding.  Not a drop fell here.  Isn’t that amazing?  Less than an hour south and we can have very different weather.  In this case, we are still fine after 0.8” of rain this past weekend so we weren’t longing for the deluge.  Looks like more chances of rain are coming.
              The WHOLE family will be here this week so we will have a happy house full!  Christin is home for a few days, Max and Rachel with Josephine will be here, and Stephen, Celia and the boys will be here.  I’m looking forward to it because everyone will pitch in.  It’s a great time to have everyone here because the garden is producing!  Help us eat all these wonderful vegetables.  I am stockpiling eggs and not selling them this week.  We just got a steer back from the butcher, so we have all the cuts available in the freezer.  The cows are producing lots of milk, and we have a cheese cave full of cheese.  We will not be hungry!  Living on a farm is a lot of work, but it’s nice to have an abundance of food in season…
