I can not believe it has been almost 4 months since I posted, well I made my first feta cheese this week using cows milk and marinated on friday we will see how it turns out, it was fairly salty but edible. I marinated in olive oil in different ways, sun dried tomatoes and rosemary, rosemary and basil, rosemary basil and sundried tomatoes and black olives and rosemary and sun dried tomatoes. I crumbled 4 and cubed 1 see if it makes any difference. Can't wait to try. Should have left some plain. Bought some goat milk at split creek and will try making some feta with that and see the difference, will have to pastuerize first. Here is another pictures


with some of the last zinnias of the season. The color of the zinnias in the fall are brillant I always plant a bunch late so that they bloom late summer into fall because I love the deep and brillant colors you get. Most zinnias die off end of summer leaves get full of black spots and then turn brown and die so planting a bunch late prolongs the beauty of zinnias and all their colors. a lot of my zinnias also reseed themselves so I get some interesting colors.
I ahve also started on my third pair of socks don't like the yarn I am using the strands split and it is thinner than the other yarns I used for the first 2 pair so the first sock came up smaller even though I added an inch so it would fit I thoughyt so I will have to take out the toe and make longer once I finish with the second and decide what size I need to fit the person it is for. I want to start to make a scarf found a neat but hopefully simple pattern called koigu x's scarf. If and when I make I will post a picture, also need to finish my first sweater and finally found a pattern to make another simple sweater using a bulky Taos yarn I have been collecting can't wait.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you, I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
