sounds good!

Pigs are doing well and growing like pigs are supposed to do. I'd venture to say that the 3 older ones are probably at the 50+ lb mark. One of the may be more - he's a chunk. One of them is a month younger than the other three but he's really close to catching up to 'em.

That's not a bad problem to have!

Woo Hoo! Thanks - they've been doing so well!

Thanks ya'll! I think I'll do these in the dehydrator. If I get more, I'll can 'em. I need to check my stock of 1/2 pint jars.

I've getting the baby broccoli plants tucked into the garden. :fl

Sounds like a good start. I've made it before by cooking the squash and extras until really soft and reducing the broth a little at the same time. Then I hit it with the immersion blender and added some cream to thicken and make it yummy (maybe even a little softened cream cheese if you like...
