Hello friends!
This week started out rainy but warmed up by the end. It has been an unusually cold and wet spring for this area. Its' normally hot and dry (a Mediterranean climate).
Last weekend we dragged some other interns out climbing with us on a very beautiful day. Grant and I found out that we are not allergic to poison oak, thankfully. We finished up the second irrigation ditch which is being opened today. The chickens, sheep, and cows all got new grass to eat this week. The dumb sheep story of the week is: A sheep was bleating in distress so we went over to see what was wrong with it. It thought it was all alone, so it was terrified. However, the other sheep were not gone. They were simply behind the distressed sheep sitting in the shade. Very stupid, but funny. Also we weeded peas and carrots, transplanted lettuces, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, onions, and pak choi. And we started thinning the rows of radishes.
On Friday, we went to another farm and ran a soil experiments station for some middle school students. It is part of a program that the watershed council does with local schools. It was very fun.
We also went to a barn dance on Thursday for our neighbor's birthday. There was a huge bonfire.
