So here are the bean seeds sprouting. I find them to be beautiful and kind of reptilian in their patterns. I love reptiles too. "Heirloom Seeds--Sprouting", 6"x6", oil on board, $75.
Danny and I drove down to Roxborough today to get the organic grains that I feed to the chickens and rabbits. Even though the rabbits no longer live here, my friend Alison has them and I provide the feed for them. Anyway, it's a nice ride via the Harts Lane detour. Great little houses along the way.
I watched the GMO Trilogy today. It's really upsetting. Made me want to cry for the situation that our farmer's are in. How in the world did we ever let it get this way. Even certified organic farmers in Canada are affected because their neighbors that do plant GMO seeds have plants that blow onto the organic farms and pollute their land by way of GMO seeds that germinate and grow. Now the organic farms are totally polluted and those farmers are screwed, big time. They usually have to go out of business after the huge expense and all of the work that it takes to become certified. How heartbreaking.
Speaking of gardening--'cause we don't have enough land to consider it farming--the boys started turning the soil in the garden today. It's supposed to rain for the next couple of days, so it looks like we're going to roto-till on Monday.
The wounded hen is still alive, but not eating or drinking. I keep dipping her beak in water and am giving her supplements, I feel so sorry for her. I examined her today for the first time because it was obvious that she was in pain. She's moving around a little, so I took a look. She has a big chunk out of her back, but it appears to be healing.
I'm reading "Villa Incognito" and it is so on my nerves, but every once in a while he (Tom Robbins, the author) makes sense, or I start to understand his writing and I laugh.
I read "The Help" before the Robbins book and really liked it.
Anyone need eggs or have good egg recipes? The girls are laying up a storm and I stopped selling them before I went to CA. I had one for dinner tonight. They're really good.
That's all for now. 'Nite.
