Is Till Eulenspiegel* About?

Last night, we had to rescue yet another set of goat twins and their mother from the top of the hill. It ain't over till it's over, evidently. Mother and sons are fine and in the maternity barn, which may never be empty again.

I was surprised by the amount of red raspberries to be picked this morning and asparagus have been popping out of the ground since we got a little rain two days ago. Even the area which my husband bush hogged has yielded new spears.

This morning, I checked on cabbages in the garden. They are heading up nicely. As I went through the seed-grown row, what did my wandering eyes see: a cauliflower plant? Yep. It was all headed out. Just one. What are the statistical chances of ONE cauliflower seed getting into a packet of cabbage seed?

Well, I was happy to pick it. It will add it to the broccoli that I'm planning on blanching and freezing this afternoon.

Crazy! More babies...

You are never going to be done with that maternity ward...

I like learning about Till Eulenspiegel. What language is that? Till Eulenspiegel loves to visit our house.
