Our Dexter/Jersey cow, Maybelline, had her calf - a beautiful heifer!
Look at that adorable little face! Another future milk cow, yee-haw!
Cow bonding.
Both mama and baby are doing fine, despite the humid, sticky, summer heat.
Meanwhile on the homestead, the flowers are blooming...
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow...

Nasturtiums radiant and wonderfully edible.
Here is a delicious recipe we have been enjoying this summer and thought we'd share with y'all.
Summer Green Beans
3 TBS. Olive oil
1 LB. fresh green beans, snapped
4 medium tomatoes, chopped
1 purple onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tsp. salt
2 handfuls fresh basil
Layer ingredients in order given in a heavy bottom pot. Cook over medium high heat till green beans are tender. You don't have to stir this, or add water- tomatoes and green beans make their own juice as they cook. Cecilia created this simple but tasty recipe last summer and its now our favorite way to eat green beans!
