It is February.
In my thought all the time I am wondering about our weather. We have not had much of a winter, nor much snow.
I am really really really looking forward to spring though....starting my seedlings, digging in that warm, moist soil...that smells so yummy!
Today
I am making cheese. I am really excited!!!! As this is the first time since I have been making cheese that I am using animal rennet. I am hoping for better results & better flavor. A big part of my hope is that this rennet will have a longer shelf life & be consistent until I am at the end of the bottle.
I also need to put clean straw in the barns & water all big troughs.
Chicken soup for dinner tonight. I love the smell of chicken stock simmering...it is comforting somehow.
In the middle of this my goal is to spring clean one area everyday.
Started my nine patch today. When I am free of the other tasks I am sewing sewing sewing.
My cheese was amazing...I haven't seen it finished yet...but the difference with the animal rennet I can tell during the cheese making process that it is WAY different.
A friend of mine came over & hugged & hugged me! So nice!!! She brought me a cake & told me I was a really great friend. So nice to have great conversations....talking about cows, chickens, kids....the best in the world! As she was leaving we went out to inspect my heifers baby udder....ha ha hah LOVING this life!
I sewed 7 blocks together. Made two pressed cheeses & two bag herbed cheeses, took fresh straw to the barn, watered the big troughs, really cleaned my stove top, & made brown roasted chicken stock & the yummiest chicken soup. Helped my Mom tonight with a felting project. It was a beautiful day!
