I think your swallowtails were in our yard---we had a large number earlier in the summer, including a caterpillar in our parsley and dill!

I was aware there were lots of monarchs last week while I was on the Pennisula, but didn't record any with my camera. Maybe I'll have better luck as they fly through Madison.

I think I will pass on your kind offer to assist with editing. If I may offer a suggestion, I think you and that Steve guy may be spending too much time with the bartender at the Greenwood. (You know, the one who helps you think up those weird lamb names.) But that's just my two cents worth.... NN Is it you again Ms Fivecents?

I am glad that you are enjoying the book and that you have recognized that without my help the old shepherd would never have made it with the book. Did you know that I ghost write most of the things he writes for Black Sheep Newsletter? As far as watching Vets on TV, I think we will pass. I think we will just weather your joke regarding whether to wether the ram. Hope to see you soon again, NN Hi Ms Fivecents,

If you can hack into PBS out in the barn, you may enjoy Vets in Practice on PBS --though you may need to close your eyes during the "ram to wether" part of the episode. Here's a joke for your pals: What name do you give a ram thats been fixed? -------- a Sham! :) Hi Nanoo Nanoo

It seems that they are all about two days long at best. With all the humidity, it is certainly not enough drying time. If we get more than two days it probably will be so wet from the previous rain that we cannot get into the field with the haybine. It is also rather bizarre with our largest hay field. I got the outer rounds cut before the rains really started in mid June. The center of that same field still has about 12 original rounds to cut and the original outer rounds are already passed prime for cutting second crop. If I can ever finish the field I will be cutting a combined first and second (maybe a third) in the middle and second and third on the outer edges. It makes for interesting geometric patterns on the field at least! Well Judith, we are still looking for those windows! It seems that they are all about two days long at best.

Way too much hay since we never got the 1st crop off because of the daily showers. Tall grassy hay that is a bit tough, but then my girls don't have to work for a living so they should be fine this winter. I'm sure Noela will once again be the plumpist one for shearing. Poor David! Still trying to find that window to cut what would have been 3rd crop. If you find that window let us know! We thought of you and haying when we were trying to get 1st and 2nd off all at once.

I think I will need to defer that inquiry to Nanoo Nanoo (who I would never suggest is fat). I am pretty sure that they dream of drier and cooler days and nights. And as for dying...it is too hot.
