We finally had a fence posted for our animals. I really do not know how many wild and hungry predators it will keep out. The days are shortened because of the time change off of daylight savings EST. But It's good to go to bed early and have a good night sleep. The kale and collards from the farm continue to provide us with rich savory greens which I usually make a soup adding a few store-bought things as perhaps a base. Maybe I'll make some Sassafras tea as one of my friends said her daughter was sick. I understand students are dropping like duckpins from the flu or related illnesses. It was good to dig in the soil yesterday to help put the fence in, from what I gather the soil contains microbes which will help with illness. It's the same thing for honey from bees living around here. I cultivate and eat honey thereby protecting us from the antigens and allergies that occur locally. No wonder the animals love it so much. I am glad we do not have bears !!
