~SUSTAINABLE LIVING FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

[**D*A**]

Thanks, we FINALLY got a little bit of rain today. Hopefully the next batch of pictures will show signs of improvement.

We really like our little long haired chihauhau.

I know for sure that tomato is a purple cherokee. That's the prized jewel that I'm after. I want to get seeds from it and keep the strain pure. I'm fearing that I have too many of the other varieties too close together. I've got Italian heirloom, brandywine, beefsteak heirloom and another called "Mr Stripey." I'd never heard of it before, it's a yellow type of heirloom and it called my name at the farm store.

I'm down to 16 chickens now. I had over 60 at one time, that was a little excessive. (but a lot of fun!)
