Worked the farmer’s market again today.
Leaving to get back to Buffalo tomorrow; work on Monday. Then I’m leaving again Friday night to come back out here because my older sister’s family is coming up for the long weekend. That brother-in-law has some plans to do some deer hunting, using the nuisance permit the farm has, so we can venison up the freezer again a bit. I hope he gets one and I can help take it apart, this time; I’d like to see the process. last time I had to hit the road and couldn’t watch.
Mmm, venison.
We’ve almost sold out of all the chickens we processed on Tuesday. Which is great, but. Uh. We were short on chicks, that batch, and another batch, and I just think we’re going to run short on chickens this whole year. better that than having too many, I guess.
New egg chicken chicks should be coming in, too. I should ask.
We harvested enough flowers Thursday and Friday (mostly Thursday because that was the only day this week it wasn’t raining) that I felt like I could make a bunch of bouquets to hang to dry. We need more dried flowers, it’s a little sparse up there. I should be over there making potpourri but I’m just so tired after working the whole market.
I borrowed a food dehydrator to try to dry some of the petals and flower heads and things i saved this week. It’s been so humid, things are getting moldy if I leave them up in the granary to dry– that’s never happened before, but it’s literally like 99% humidity, and it’s 65 degrees, and that’s honestly a terrible combination– I was so cold last night, and it was only in the high 50s but it was so goddamn damp and what can you do about that?? Ugh. I need a little yurt woodstove. Really I do, and yet, it seems so extravagant. I don’t spend that much time out there. But I do. ??!?! What to do.
Anyway. Got some strawflowers and calendula in the dehydrator, we’ll see how it goes. Set up two big box fans upstairs in the granary too, we’ll see if that helps. Air circulation should help with mold, anyway. Unless it makes it worse.
(There’s no glass in the windows, so it’s not like it’s not well-ventilated up there already.) (The more pre-arranging of dried flowers I do now, the less we have to do when it’s 15 degrees outside.) (oh God, wreath season is coming. Brrrrrrr.)
