Betty, Sara, and Nick

First full bloom on the orange tree today.  Both the orange and the grapefruit have over 100 more blooms on the way.  Benita is still soaking but Bob's skull is just about ready for final mounting.  Just got to do a final cleaning then glue the nose piece on and slip on the horn sheaths.  Nice visits today with Betty, and future off-gridders Sara and Nick.  65,87,37,0,B,0

Drizzly morning.  Mostly a day inside at the computer.  Slow/steady rain overnight but the road was OK by noon.  Had a GrubShack lunch (no meat) and was there just in time to meet up with UPS.  Manny dropped off the manual stainless steel meat grinder I ordered.  Just in time as I started a batch of wheat sprouts just yesterday.  Hoping to perfect the perfect organic loaf of Field Lab Solar Oven Sprouted Wheat Bread.

Benita was soaked this morning but didn't seem to mind.  She took off this afternoon but a new cow came in to learn that hand feeding is really not that bad.  I think this one kinda looks like Benita and may be one of her daughters.  I named her Betty after the founder of the GrubShack. 73,84,66, .24",B
