Beastly!

Beets that is - - the farmer's market is in full swing and man, is it a good year. There is an abundance of everything...tomatoes the size of one's head, greens, summer squash, and wonderful beets, 4.5 pounds in one bunch!!! Thank you rain :)



Another group of beasts to note are our new chickens (new since June but who's counting). We got four Black Brahma hens. They are very friendly and one might even call them pushy and obnoxious. They will beg food off of an innocent person trying to eat outside. As the photo below shows, they also take a look in the house for goodies (although they have never actually come in thankfully) . They do a good job of giving us great eggs for all their personality it has been great fun having them.
