harumph, well, I've been diligently covering the nasturtiums and black pansies to save them fora few more batches of jelly. Convinced that nothing could or would kill the portulaca and that there would be portulaca until the end of october for garlic butter, aahh not so. The minus three with an inch of white frost destroyed the portulaca. Now I am craving portulaca butter and since it was such a good seller and I wasn't concerned with the life span of the supply I have none for myself. hmmm.

The artist in the family has come up with an exceptional label. The computer science guy, is putting together an exceptional website and the process engineer will have to come up with an exceptional process to reduce the labour costs on our products. Nice to have so many talented people in the family. Special note to lynette, when Ang comes out next, I will send some goodies for your family to try. i would have sent something this weekend, but didnt read your comment until to day.

We have the new red clover blossom pancake syrup bottle, all we need now is an exciting label, more red clover blossoms and a gaggle of customers.

Well, Max the neutered dog, seems to think he still has something to prove. Cadbury the old lady doesnt seems impressed. Life for Max is a new challenge, the farm has a lot more things to bark at and chase than town does. It will be interesting to see what happens when one of the things max chases, turns around and chases him back, particularly if it turns out to be a porcupine or a skunk.

well, life at the farm is interesting, wet lately, quiet and has the distinct disadvantage of forcing me to go back to dial up internet. aaaaargggh. Oh well. we have an exciting plethora of products for the giant flea market in melfort on saturday. such as the likes of roasted dandelion root coffee, black pansy jelly, stinging nettle tea, black pansy sugar, garlic portulaca butter, creamy chickweed salad dressing, nasturtium and lemon butter, nasturtium cream cheese spread, toasted evening primrose seeds, nasturtium and jalapeno jelly, red clover blossom pancake syrup, all purpose extra special salve made with cocoa butter, jojoba oil, rose hip oil, tea tree oil, dandelion, portulaca, red clover, plantain infused oils, vitamin e, ecchinaccea, st. john wort and natural bees wax.

wow!! roasted dandelion root coffee, has a sweet, chocolatey, coffee taste, who would of thought, I will definately be out hunting down dandelions tommorrow for the farmers market on saturday.

Max, the dog, has a cone on his head. Quite humurous actually, the spaces between the posts on the side of the deck have become an enormous challenge for max, previously he was able to simply jump between the posts and land on the ground. Max is also quite confused when playing fetch as the ball has a tendency to roll between his cone, and his front feet, as the cone is clear it allows max to see the ball but not pick it up. This is funnier than the comedy channel. Oh yes, I must comment on the Nasturtium and sweet pepper jelly, yummy,yummy, yummy. Should be a resounding hit at the farmers market.
