Chocolate is the fifth food group, and it would have eggs also, so it's health food. So there!

So much left!
I have gained weight just eating Mackinaw fudge. We bought the box of five slices.

Ahhhh fudge...I get it every time I go to Frankenmuth! Which is about twice a year. So not often enough.

Just winding down the garden and off-roading out here, and winding up the canning/pickling/dehydrating. Also preparing to have our septic system rehauled in a couple of weeks........

And I signed my offer letter with Beacon Health yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's our off-road picnic from Monday, my artichoke I let go to bloom and a cute lil frog that I removed a pine needle from.

Your picnic looks so peaceful...My gosh that poor frog! He was completely impaled

Good work for that tree frog! There are so few here now, it's really sad.
Our three unplanned cockerels are now about 17 weeks old, and one of the two Australorps needs to leave. he's so far not at all human aggressive or nasty to flockmates, but all three can't stay, and he's got to go.

Wow he sure is a beauty though! If you can't find a home for him, I suggest Geyer Auction in Williamston.
I haven't seen a tree frog in years! Apparently toads have been very common at our house, I've been rescuing them from where the dogs walk because they go crazy about them. My pointer had one in her mouth but the toad put this stuff in her mouth from his poison glands or something or other, and she immediately spat him out and was coughing

We have very very few tree frogs and toads, a huge change from two years ago. And this year, very few insects of any sort, necessary food for the frogs, toads, and bats, also missing. And the normal swarms of mosquitoes also totally missing. We don't miss the mosquitoes or deer flies, but again, no food for their predators. And several people in Michigan still managed to get West Nile disease, not good for them, for sure.
