In the barn, in by the rabbits is a plank of putrescence. I like the alliteration. When ever I walk across it I think of the part in The Princess Bride where the hag in her dream is insulting her. The plank of wood is over a muddy mass (again good alliteration :D) . We have to turn misters on by the rabbits so that they do not overheat. The moisture + the rabbit poop + the baby chick's poop + the regular dirt = GROSSNESS! YUCK! FILTH! PUTRESCENCE! etc... I think it is why I dislike doing the rabbits the most.
I have had slightly interesting and traumatic adventures this week. On Saturday morning I woke up at around 5:45 am. When I got upstairs I heard this constant beeping. The vehicle I use to drive the milk back up was beeping non-stop. I could not figure out why and how to make it stop. I was tired and stressed because Laura and Monte had left for a family reunion on Friday. So finally it stopped I don't know how it stopped it just did. Then I went down to milk. I can now catch Uno or Una (the goat I have previously mentioned being vexing because she never would let me catch her.) without having to go around the goat pen a bunch of times. Uno is usually our best milker, but for some reason she isn't filling up at all. To add to my traumatic adventures the milker stopped working as well. I have had to hand milk all of the remaining eight goats.

I have cut up probably almost two bushels of peppers this weekend to put in the dehydrator. This week I have harvested Okra, more cucumbers, onions, beets... to name a few. Okra flowers are so pretty!
This post is really short but this is all the news I have to tell. I encourage you all to buy whatever you can from local farmer's markets. It is worth it when it comes to taste.
Oh.... our table at market made it into one of the Las Vegas magazines. You can see the two other interns and my fingernails. :D isn't fame grand!
Until next week... this is all.
