Another warm, humid day.. I dug fence post holes on B's line, doing 2 in about an hour. I harvested some kidney beans from the creek garden. 21 eggs today.

Placed Leonardo back with the other goats-he had been trying to mount Gracie all this time, leading us to believe she might have come in heat several times in rapid successions. Unfortunately we don't know if he bred her or not. We had to keep them apart for 10 days! I dug post holes on B's line this very sultry morning and fixed the kidding pen with a higher barrier. The cucumbers planted in the slope garden and fertilized with manure are doing very well. 22 eggs today. I cut the roots around a wild peach tree sprout on the hill. The main trunk produced 2 small but tasty fruits this year. I hope to transplant itt to the orchard. sold 5 doz. eggs at 70c a doz.
