Canning, Gardening, and Ranching
6/12/07 - 3rd Day - Mid-Morning. Spent a good portion of this morning canning green beans. We've been getting about 4 quarts every two days. We're also now getting jalapeños, banana peppers, squash, basil, cilantro, onions, and we got our first nice, ripe tomato yesterday. Yesterday evening we had bbq pork ribs from our pig - and they were delicious. I love this time of year, and I am looking forward to canning a lot this year (DV).
I've been working editing my next book (The Process Driven Life), and spent most of the day yesterday on that task. I've had about 5 books within a few months of being ready for 2 years now. Maybe this time I'll actually stay on it and finish it?
This weekend we captured one of David's calves from the front pasture (Rosalinda) and brought her down here to the lower pasture, where David and Susan are working on trying to gentle her a bit. Some time this week, we intend to bring my calf from up there (Bonita) and Holga. Holga and Ami are the pure longhorns we milk and they should be calving next month, so we are bringing them down to the lower pasture in preparation of milking duty starting soon.
The weather has been pleasant but hot, and we could use some rain now for the gardens. Thank you for your continued prayers and supplications for us here at the ranch.

Sorry to hear about the nice old hen and new goat. Hopefully the King snakes come out too to help keep things in order! Will be praying for rain.
