Today was off to Costco for resupply. I had four of the crew with me today. They were all very excited to go get some pizza!

Busy Monday!
17 August 2026
Mondays are always busy. Back in the saddle with Volleyball, the week started early with drop off and pick ups. Then it was back to the books with the kids getting back into their subjects. We had a pretty good day for Evan getting his work done; Arya had some struggles with recalling how to do math.
But that was partially made up for by Randal, coming to take her away and saying “I need tuggles [snuggles]”!
Then the kids were off to music lessons, but Arya has shifted to Choir club.
Project day!

Jalapeno Cheddar loaf! I’m working on the lamination technique to get the inclusions spread about a bit more evenly.
Pushing on despite the heat!

More work on the bathroom. I got up early and got in the attic and got the old wires pulled, and more new wire run, as well as the network cable.
A view of the existing bathroom fan that is/was venting to the attic. The yellow wire is the new wire for the bathroom.
End of the pool :-(

Randal helps to prepare French Toast for breakfast! both he and Garrett are big into helping cook. The big three also can cook, at varying levels. Evan is always fond of whipping himself up some pancakes for breakfast, too.
A lazy Sunday!

A couple of videos for today. We start with goat shenanigans of a seemingly stuck Zanzi.
A rainy birthday party!

Checking on the crumb of my jalapeno cheddar loaf. I see that the inclusions were all grouped toward one end, which looks to me to be an artifact of my shaping process. So, I will adjust that the next time!.
More goat shelter, bread, and dinner!

In all its glory, here is a completed goat shelter! I had dragged it over in a rush yesterday afternoon as a storm was rolling through. The goats in this pen were already moved to a sheltered spot, so much ado about nothing. Anywho, it was staged and ready for use the next day!
