Interesting June and Possible Q&A Friday
7/03/07 - 3rd Day - Mid-day. More rain started at about 3 a.m., so once again I was up a good portion of the night. Don't know how much we received but it wasn't much, which is good, but there are storm clouds all around us as I write this around mid-day.
June was interesting to say the least. We received well over 13 inches of rain in June, probably more, and July is starting out pretty wet too. The great blessing is that it remains very cool. Our temps have remained in the 80's, very rarely going into the 90's. June was our worst month financially since we started the ministry back in 1998, but our minimalist lifestyle, off-grid power, and food production has made it far less painful. We haven't been to a grocery store in several weeks, which is kind of cool in a strange sort of way. In June we lived off of what most people pay in car insurance. Maybe July will be better.
I have received a few interesting questions this week, and wanted to let you know that if I got maybe 5 more or so that I would put out an issue of Q&A Friday - which used to be a regular feature at BiblicalAgrarianism.com, but which was discontinued for lack of interest. Email questions to editor(at)lazarusunbound(dot)com.
Everyone in the community is doing fine, and we are all staying busy doing what we can working around the mud and water. Our creeks, ponds and catchwaters remain full - which a great blessing here in the summer. We should have some more calves born this month, as well as our pigs, which still have not dropped. I was WAY off in estimating how pregnant they were. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I picked up 3 more Californian rabbits for Tracy... or maybe I did mention it and forgot that I did.
Hope all is well with you all, and I pray for you.

Shoot, Michael, I'm full of questions. :) BTW, would you guys like us to send you some seed garlic to put in this fall?
Judy,
We would love the garlic. What kind is it so I can read up on it?
Thanks,
Michael
I have a unknown hardneck variety that has been in family at least since I was a very small girl. I call it "Ada's Garlic" after my aunt who grew it. I also have extra elephant garlic. Once I get it all trimmed up and sorted I'll package some up.
