Mama's Musings

Tonight dinner consisted of farm raised eggs, wild poke, and morel mushrooms combined to make a delectable quiche. Yes, the wild edible harvest season is upon us! We have been walking with the boys- looking for mushrooms and examining each berry bush we pass. Things on the farm have also started to blossom. We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the free range chicks in a couple weeks, have been planting in the garden and the greenhouse, and I have been milking our goat, Lumpy. I have come to realize that milking is truly one of my favorite things about the whole farm scene. I love walking to the barn in the morning to be greeted not only by an eager goat but also by the swallows dipping in and out of the barn and the pigeons waking with a flurry as I step over the threshold. Am hoping to learn how to make some new cheeses this year (ones that go great on pizza as Caleb finished the outdoor bread oven this winter and we can't get enough of the goodies that are being created in it). High point of the week other than fireflies and the song of the Whip-Poor-Will would have to be the asparagus from the garden...delicious!
