Love the mascara bunny.

Well the steer is no longer in the backyard...
He jumped the fence into the field with Jerry and the kids. :/ DH drug him out of that field and back to the backyard only to watch him jump back over within 5 minutes. I'm not happy about where he's at but he seems to be being good for the moment. That dang critter jumps like a gazelle.
Tomorrow is the last day of this season's farmer's market.

Last day of the market went great! In fact it was my best week yet for sales.
I even had a doctor seek me out as his wife has just started "going gluten free". What a boost it could be if they like it and talk to their friends.
We'll be having winter markets in the church's community room. So it's not over. One market in mid November to coincide with their holiday craft bazaar and then once a month January through May.
Beyond that I'll be making deliveries when I go to town weekly and will be offering shipping (already on my site).
I think that next year I'm going to offer a Gluten Free Baked Good CSA. I love being creative with the stuff and having folks order specific things kind of stifles that. What I really need is a bakery....it may come to that but right now I'm happy with my home kitchen and the way things are going.
I need more time in the day...anyone have some that they can share?

Lost a chicken tonight to coons
I may have to move Jerry back into the main field...or get a guardian animal for the chickens.

Sorry about your chicken, Elevan. Raccoons are so nasty when they go after chickens!
I really don't know how you find time for all the things you do. I feel like there aren't enough hours in the day either! I certainly don't have any to spare for you.

So this morning as I was about ready to walk out the door for an appointment something "told" me to go into the backyard. From there I was able to see that our steer had managed to get himself stuck. He had decided to try to go over a half wall and couldn't get his back half over. I yelled for DH to come help. I then went out and pushed on the steer until he was back over the way he had come and then DH and I had to fix the situation so that it didn't happen again. I had to speed to get to my appointment and I hope that DH wasn't late for work.
I can say definitively that we will not be growing on our beef again. I'll stick with goats and poultry, thank you very much.
I have to take the kids to the doctor later, help the kids with homework, get dinner on the table, put the poultry in and then do some baking to fill an order for tomorrow. I still need to find extra time.
I was "challenged" by my therapist to make time for myself...to find my inner peace and listen to myself more. I'm gonna try, I guess that's all that I can say. I do have to admit that after being apprehensive about seeing a therapist I'm glad that I pushed myself to do so. I really needed to talk to someone about what I go through with the kids and my hectic life. The kids are a major stress because of all that is going on with them and just having someone that understands other than my DH to talk to is such a relief.
Looks like the town about 10 minutes from me is having their annual Heritage Days festival and they are having a farm market in conjunction with it. I'm gonna call and see if I can get a spot (I think). The only problem is that I'd have to drag the kids along and they do drive me crazy when I'm trying to work...I'll figure something out I guess.
I did just finish up a major project, so I've got one load taken off my shoulders...until I decide to take on another major project

You must learn a very simple word. Toddlers use it all the time. It's a hard word for some of us to say. Some of us feel guilty when we say it (for a while). But you must use it......"NO". You can follow it up by...."I haven't the time right now."
