Today was as lovely a day as any Nebraska can dish up: sun, a soft breeze, no hotter than seventy-five degrees, and little puffy clouds in a light blue sky.
We started on the south end of the property, visiting the fruit trees. There are tiny little apples and peaches, but no apricots or plums that I can see. Hmmm, do apricots need to cross-pollinate with someone else?
Then we walked past the garden up to the north end to visit Corbie and Serena. They considered us to be strangers, mainly because we brought no salad offerings ( a wheelbarrow full of garden weeds is their favorite treat right now). Corbie stared at us silently and mooed not a single moo. Serena snuffled hopefully and squelched around in her pen (lots of rain equals good squelching), but we had no treats.
Back at the house, we picked off ticks. The count? Three so far. They're in the tall grass but not, thankfully, in the garden.
