Slow Food


Why slow food? Because you move slow while making it? Because you are slow after eating this? Or because you need time to make it? :) - Of course, because you need much labour and time to make it. As I am busy farmer overloaded with too much daily duties, I don’t do slow food every day, but I try to do it sometimes. Today I am making 3 slow foods: goat cheese, goat yoghurt, bread. So tomorrow I should have at least fresh bread and yoghurt. The cheese needs more time. I have 11 eco eggs, so tomorrow maybe scrambled eggs with dill and lettuce? Or onion? I will see. Tomorrow I would like to make at least two flower beds for pink rose bushes. And maybe one for spring onion. I got inspired of new website I spotted. They do there so much beautiful things. Beautiful, wise, artistic. I like it. I think I will arrange nicely the new planned flower beds in front of the house. In next year I expect to have here young rose bushes.

In search of winter supplies


I am tired! I went for a bike trip to find straw, hay, potatoes and grain for the winter. The bike chain fell down a couple of times, so I had to walk the bike. I did around 15km. I came back with some grain for hens and small, but valuable shopping: oat flakes ;) and yoghurt which I am going to use to make my own yoghurt. How to make yoghurt? Where is google??? I need to use it. I have forgotten the yoghurt making procedure and need to refresh my memory. I haven’t been doing yoghurt for ages... But, I still have thermometer which still works, so it is a good start. I will need it to measure milk temperature. Okay, I have found some recipes. Time to get to goats and bring the fresh milk... ;) 





Cat Visibility

Cat visibility is constantly growing. I spotted her more than several times now. She is gaining more courage and is hunting wildly which is great thing. She was very noisy last night in the kitchen. It seems, that with each day there is less and less rodents here. That’s good. But I am sure she will have here a full time job for all autumn and winter, since rodents like to hide themselves in warm places during cold months, so they will be storming my house in the coming weeks and months. I have here also some winter supplies which attract rodents even more. I think I will bring one more hunter here :)
