Dairy farms are also dependent on how well the weather has been for corn and hay crops to feed the cows. Around here most people grow their own (including raising the cows) or they buy from local source rather than purchasing feed. But if the weather is bad and the crops are put in late or there's flooding and they don't produce correctly then farmers have to buy feed which increases the overhead and cuts into their income.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Oh, neat, Beverly--thanks! I had no idea raspberries were cultivated like that. And I hadn't really considered all the expenses in raising cows.
I just got back from a couple of hours at the botanical gardens with my favorite toddler and her mom, followed by a cookout at a friend's. Both were vey enjoyable, but it was more socializing than I've done since last October. Now I kinda want to lie flat for the rest of the evening. The coleslaw that I took to the cookout sure disappeared, though. I used this recipe for the dressing, with an extra splash of vinegar. [link] And I put the shredded cabbage, onion, and carrot in a colander overnight to lose some moisture, so it wouldn't be soggy. Definitely a keeper.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
There were fireworks in the park last night, probably for the dogwood festival. I watched them from my driveway for a while, then I watched them from my patio window. It's nice to be able to see the fireworks without having to go to the park or somewhere else crowded.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Hi Shir! Thanks. I should be asleep now, but sleep isn't quite happening.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Good morning, Shir!

And good night, Americanistas (and others!). Hope you'll get your sleep, Hil.

And she's awake! Hi Shir! How are things on your side of the globe? Did you and your family have a good Passover?
