I never did put any info on the fecals we did with the ram lambs this week. Out of the 8, we wormed two based on FAMACHA score and it turned out one of those had only a few eggs. We gave everyone a drench of garlic concentrate and 3 of the 8 had half the number of eggs as the fecal that we ran the month before. The others literally had eggs in the single digits. This isn't scientific by any means but it makes the garlic drench look better all of the time. By the way, when we do worm any of the sheep now we are doing two different (different class) wormers (full strength on both) and we are seeing an extremely lower egg count on follow up fecals than we had seen in the past.

I had a little over 4 hours of grass cutting today since all of the rain had me behind. I usually do some cutting each day over a 3 day period so it doesn't take all that long each day. I had just finished and was putting the mower away as the sky opened up this afternoon.
Teresa said I was a strange man tonight as I was cooking a single pod of sliced okra in some olive oil. This was the first to be harvested but it's going to be a couple of days before I get any more so it would have been soft by then. Not to be one to waste the first of a harvest, it got cooked and we both had a couple of bites.
We have an appointment for a recall on Teresa's Mazda tomorrow so we will make a Costco run for a few things since it's almost next door.

At least going to Costco is better than sitting in a waiting room at a car dealership.

And one piece of okra is better than none!

Getting ice cream/frozen yogurt or whatever they're calling it would make it even more fun.

Teresa had an appointment at a Day Spa (a gift from the daughter) which was going to take around 2 hours which is why we made the appointment with them for 9:00 and the time for the Mazda dealer was set for 9:30. I dropped Teresa off a little before 9:00 and got to the dealer about 20 minutes early but they got the car right in. About 15 minutes later the CSR came into the waiting area with a very sheepish look on his face to let me know that they ran out of the needed parts yesterday and we were supposed to be called (we weren't).
He seemed totally surprised when I just said, If that's the worst thing that happens this month, I have no problems. Sooooo, they will call when the parts come in.
I got the 3 or 4 things I needed to get from Costco and headed back to the
Spa. I only had about a half hour and had a book that I was wanting to finish anyway.

I have a file that is nothing but sauteed cucumbers for this time of year when you have an abundance and did this one today. . We are giving away a bunch and we still have enough pickles left from last year to see us through until canning time next year. Radishes are another thing that benefits as a sauteed dish.
Asian Sauteed Cucumber
Total Time: 20 minutes
Makes: Serves 4-6
This is a quick side dish, great with just about anything. Just a few ingredients and a light saute and it is done in minutes.
Great with BBQ, grilled fish or just about anything. I love that it is simple and has a clean refreshing flavor. Warm or room temp is fine for this.
Ingredients
3 medium to large cucumbers (seedless cucumbers)
1 carrot peeled and shredded
2 scallions chopped diagonally 1/2' pieces
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 squeeze or 1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Vegetable oil to saute
Dash of red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
First shred the carrots and prepare the cucumber. Don’t peel. Cut lengthwise in thin strips and then in 2" pieces
In a large pan (non stick) for stir fry, toast the sesame seeds just for a minute or two until lightly brown. Remove and set aside.
Then heat the oil in the same pan. Add the scallion, ginger, cucumber, soy and cook a couple of minutes. Then add the carrot and lemon juice, salt and pepper. Toss in the sesame seeds and remove from the heat. Serve warm NOT hot or room temp. A great simple side
