APRIL 17TH, 2008
Well,
The sun is shining, the men have cozied their beverages in the warm sun of midday...all is right with the world! The new patio furniture is waiting anxiously for a good meal and a beautiful sunset, and the sprouts that once were mere seeds...are readying themselves for the exciting shock of true earth!
The future chicken run is what is being pondered and put into production by the men on Goonie Rhubarb Farm. Leveling and anchor points are the key words right this second...but soon...varieties of chickens will be the topic of conversation! Favoroulle, Fayoumi, and a chubby looking English named one. As you can see, we're quite technical and anal with are chicken breed terms. :) We're going to try and get chickens that really aren't the run of the mill chicken varieties. Many of these unusual or uncommon varieties are quite resilient and wonderful. As an example...most are resistant to the avian flu whatnot. Mostly, we just like the 'old world' appeal of variety and heirloom. Photos coming soon of our peeps...once we get them.
On the plate today: Tacos. Ground Beef from Deck Family Farm in Junction City Oregon. Organic veggies from the natural food store in Grants Pass, and corn tortillas that aren't made with GMO corn.
An update on the tomato planting. We're expecting as many as 40 tomato starts from an organic and bio-dynamic farm in Bandon. I guess someone will be making tomato sauce this year! ME!...Probably with a little help, or a lot of help from Rhubarb, Mama Goonie and maybe I could wrangle Mama Rhubarb too! I need her to teach me her yummy squash relish recipe anyways!
Well, I can see the men are starting the chicken run. One, barefoot, in his swim trunks, a t-shirt, and his reed hat from Kauai. The second, in denim jeans, cowboy-ish work boots...and a slew of levels. The third, a small gray tabby cat gleefully 'helping' the other two!
All and all, a beautiful day on Goonie Rhubarb Farm!
