The meals appeared actually fairly, however the meals I’d in all probability charge 7/10. The truffle fries had been delightfully crispy however wanted salt and a distinct dipping sauce. The lamb kabobs had been properly cooked and downright scrumptious. The opposite dishes had been simply okay, however I wouldn’t organize them once more. The malbec was nice 🙂

THREE: Fall Backyard

I really feel a bit lackadaisical about my fall backyard. That’s a nicer strategy to say I’m half-assing it, proper?

A New House for Duck & Nugget

A good friend with rooster data came visiting this week and confirmed what I knew was true (however was in denial over): Duck & Nugget are actually roosters. She might see the spur starting to develop, the tail feathers starting to curve over, and oh yeah, they crow. Moreover, Duck is beginning to be a bit extra protecting of his flock (as he needs to be).

One other good friend of mine reached out and advised me she had discovered an incredible potential house for my roosters. I referred to as up the gentleman and he really is an answered prayer. He and his spouse personal 50 acres and soak up goats, cows, chickens, and so on. It’s all set that we’ll drop the roosters off to them this weekend. Tears welled up in my eyes throughout the dialog however I do know it’s the most effective factor for all concerned. Simply affirmation that I’m too mushy to be an actual farm lady.
