Summer is in full swing as we experienced temperatures into the mid-80s this past week, which is about as hot as it usually gets here in Maine.
But without central air, and having to rely mostly on just ceiling fans, shaded areas outside and cold beverages, that kind of heat to more than enough for me!
But despite the heat, it was kind of nice this week to have a respite from traveling, working on my book, filming and a couple of other things that generally take up the majority of my time.
I could have kicked back and just relaxed, but instead...
I built new roosts for our coop.
I made gnocchi for the first time ever (so easy and delicious!)
I harvested our first radish crop and did some half-hearted weeding in the garden (I absolutely HATE weeding which brings me to my next bit of news....)
And ... [drum roll, please] we welcomed a trio of goslings - or baby geese - to our farm!
I'm so excited. I've wanted geese for awhile now and finally convinced my husband that we needed them.
I was lucky enough to be able to get them delivered to our post office from Metzer Farms in California on Wednesday morning and we love them already!
That was also the absolute end of getting anything productive done around here, as we became immediately enamored watching the goslings, teaching them which weeds to eat and getting them to imprint on us as they follow us around the yard.
So please welcome Henri, Sophie and Claudette to our farm.
And be sure to join me on Instagram for more adorable baby photos and cute stories/videos! Lots to celebrate this summer.
Treat your flock to all natural Fresh Eggs Daily® feed supplements!
