Today was a good day. Mae slept well, we all slept well. We woke up about 6, maybe a little after. Morning chores and a breakfast made up of eggs from our girls and cheese and milk from Marilyn, along with scallions from our garden. Very tasty. We all got cleaned up and got dressed for church. Mae loves church. Mostly because she gets to go and play in the playroom for an hour with some of the other kids from church. After church we came back home and had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch. Then some...

She has separation anxiety when Marilyn is away from her, and she...

As usual Mae woke up super early like the true farmer she is! We checked on the batch of candles that Dan made last night including our yummy layered smores candle. I set Mae up with a silly youtube video of cartoon animals slopping around in the mud (her laughter at this video is so animated and silly) so that I could let the chickens,ducks and Matilda the Saint rabbit outside and throw the goats more hay. Mae does best if we keep busy, so to work we went cheese making,freezing homegrown kale, dehydrating bananas and blanching our own summer...
