I overslept this morning, but water is heating now to brew my nettle/oatstraw tea infusion. Coffee is brewing to wake up my sleepy overworked body.
Another batch of cheese is draining this morning too - Fromage Blanc made with goat's milk. We are enjoying it while we have it.
We continue to get more rain, thunderstorms, and wind here. In between, we get spurts of sunshine too.

More Rain ~ More Jam
I'm canning more jam. More strawberries went into the freezer, but I have four quarts left. It rained off and on, so I could not get into the garden early anyway.
After the first morning batch was made yesterday, I was summoned to take school photos (albeit a bit late this year). We do not purchase many school photos, due to the high cost, and the girls like to pick out their background here on the homestead.
