We just had dinner of the best side benefit of raising sheep and that is eating the meat. I made a quick marinade this morning and then cooked them on the grill awhile ago.

We will have to wait and see how it works out. He has worked with goats but said he much prefers working the sheep since they are less hassle than what he is used to.

We are still getting Asparagus but will let the bed rest in a couple of weeks. We have had a lot of Sugar Snap Peas and Yellow Squash and it's nice to be getting something out of the garden beds. I sprouted some okra and we planted it today and put chicken wire and step in posts around it to keep the chickens out until it gets established and then we will remove the wire.

The lambs that we separated last week have quieted down and are getting into a routine. I'm working on getting them used to being handled now that their protective moms aren't around. It's only been a couple of days but they are already coming up to get scratches. The bottle lambs Princess and Taffy made it easy since they are so calm and showed the other lambs that they had nothing to fear. 
The Buff Orpington that has been sitting on eggs should be showing some newly hatched chicks in the next day or two and we put a bunch of eggs under a Barred Rock hen yesterday who has been sitting on golf balls for a couple of days now.

Teresa and I decided to spend a good part of the day in Nashville at one of the malls and grab a bite to eat at a Vietnamese deli that is also a market. We need to pick up some things that aren't carried in the stores in our little towns around us.

We got to the deli we wanted to eat at and they were closed so we decided to hit the Food Court at the mall in Franklin. It's upscale as over half of that city has been built in the last ten years. The Food Court has offerings in a dozen ethnic types of menus from Mexican, Greek, Italian and a bunch of others. We chose the French deli that specializes with various types of filled crepes as that was something new for us.

When I was visiting in Denmark, I was introduced to filled crepes, very popular there also....and very yummy!
