meat, apples, shopping and beets


Today's headline news: Jennie ate meat. Cousin Paul and I went shopping today and and afterwards we went to the new Jewish Deli in Boulder...and I had a corned beef and turkey sandwich. This is the first meat I've eaten in weeks. As excited as I am about a new deli, I'm not sure how much I can support them since delis are mostly about the meat. I really deliberated over the menu and kept thinking about the cows, chickens, and turkeys that I've met.

In other news, the beets I planted in the garden have sprouted! We also seem to have some volunteer tomato and dill sprouts. I'm very excited to see what other surprises we get (besides all the weeds).

When we came home today, we found two dogs in our big pasture, running around and barking at the alpacas (who were thankfully not in the big pasture today). While Michael was chasing them off, I discovered that the gate to the boys' section was open. Since the boys were still inside their run, I figured they hadn't noticed...unfortunately, we found evidence that the boys did go wandering in our backyard today. The apple tree in the backyard was really brutalized...branches broken, leaves chewed to bits, and a lot of branches with bark stripped. Oh those bad, bad boys!

AND, we've finally named our new baby girl. Her full name is SanchoPaca's Doña Brinca, just "Brinca" for short (say it breen-ka with a rolled R). "brinca" means jump...and she is a very bouncy baby.
