A few night's ago, I made deer sausage. Never before have I done that.

Tonight I lost my mojo because of it...

I wrecked my car hitting 2 deer on the way home.

Thankfully no one was hurt. Thankfully the car is not beyond repair. Thankfully the kids weren't with me.

I will never cook or eat deer again. I want my mojo back.


eta: I've had near misses with deer before but never hit one until tonight.

my BFF normally hits at least 1 a year and one year it was 9. He lives on a dark road with lots of deer. He says they hit him

Added more goat products to Harvest this morning.

Gotta bake tonight as products gotta be in CFM-CC by 7:30 in the morning.

Farm Market season starts on Saturday! The market I sell at is another month off but a neighboring county starts this week and I'm so excited!

I think your tummy just liked the sausage so much, it was just trying to help it get more

I didn't eat the deer sausage, just cooked it for the rest of the family. I'm real superstitious about deer and didn't wanna break my mojo by eating it...guess just cooking it was enough to do it.

We lost our best doe today to a bad kidding...kid(s) too. I've been gone all day and just had the opportunity to check the field and found her at the far corner of the property - long gone. Seems a horrible way to die...while trying to produce life. Daisy you will be missed and were greatly loved by us here.
