Of Pigs and Pizza
It has been a beautiful Autumn week here on the farm.
Cold nights...cool days...wonderful!!
I have been very busy catching up with chores,
thanks to renewed energy that comes with cooler days.
The 100 blueberry bushes were in desperate need of a good weeding.
So, they are all weeded and mulched with some good rich compost...
tucked in for the winter.
There has been a little activity in the picnic pavilion this week.
Our very final building project has gotten under way....
can you guess what this is?
It's a pizza oven...
a wood-fired brick pizza oven!!
By October we will be able to have artisan pizzas in our pavilion.
This has been a dream for several of us in the family...
a dream that is finally coming to fruition.
In addition to pizza, we will be able to bake breads and rolls, pretzels, etc.
in this outdoor oven.
By next week I will be able to show you the finished project.
Ginger and MaryAnn always enjoy activity at the pavilion,
as it is right across from their yard.
This cooler weather is perfect for our porcine pair of princesses...
and they just love taking naps in the Autumn sun....
almost as much as they enjoy visits
and belly rubbing!
