Leo Update

Leo's now a couple of months over four, and a handful and a half. The changes at this age aren't quite as marked as those of a baby, but they're still significant.

Nicky Update

Nicky is now 14 months old and is changing so fast it's hard to keep track. It seems like he's now more little boy than baby.

Hay

Down by the river, the grass and weeds are already super tall. Once a week, we've been cutting it for the animals.

Grape Cuttings

Several weeks ago, we took some cuttings from a grape vine and rooted them. We dipped each cutting in some rooting hormone and put them in a mix of perlite and dirt.

Ocotillo

Ocotillo blooms make a great tea, a little like hibiscus. They're only out for a short period of time, so make the most of them.

Mint

We are now back into mint season. All along the river it grows wild, a thick fragrant carpet. We have a bag of it in the fridge that we continually restock.

Apologies

I just wanted to apologize for my total lack of blogging recently. We have a bunch of stuff going on (like Leo turning 4!!!!), but what is taking up most of our time is a total revamp and remake of our website. Until that's done, I won't be blogging. But there will be a bunch of new blogs, article, howtos on the new site when we go live. Until then, be patient, please...
