You know it is summer when....
...your house is invaded by moths...lots and lots of moths. Moths that fly at you when you turn out the lights when you go to bed. Moths that swarm at all the lightbulbs in your kitchen. Moths that are swift and furious and are hard to swat. Moths that like to buzz past your ear when you are writing your blog.
...you get to eat the strawberries from the garden that are the most ripe (about a dozen each day for the last 3 days, and more green ones that are turning pink). The best strawberries ever, by the way!
...Buffy the Chicken (she's a Buff Orpington) decides she will sit on the nest for days and days and days trying to hatch eggs that we keep taking from her. The eggs aren't fertile (we have no rooster). 3 eggs today.
...your vet calls to say your entire herd is BVDV free (HOORAY!). Ok, so this isn't a sign of summer, but we got the call today that none of our animals has to be destroyed, so that is pretty exciting.
...Jennie locates her shorts and actually wears a pair of shorts out in the world. Jennie usually wears shorts 2-3 times total in the summer, so this is a big deal.
...tomorrow is the first veggie pick up from Cure Organic Farm. I belong to the CSA at Cure (community supported agriculture) and starting this week, every wednesday for 20 weeks I get to go to the farm and pick up my share of fruit and veggies!
