I finally lifted that second bobcat skull out of the peroxide; he's been in there since the beginning of June, so he's a little crispy, but white like you would not believe. He looks great. And I managed to find all of his teeth but those four little fiddly ones that go in the front of his lower jaw. I took the raccoon out of the maceration tank yesterday and moved him into the degreaser; Boy was THAT a revolting mess. I poured it over the flowers and they seem to like it. The tea rose turned extra-dark within hours. None of the teeth had come out (yay!) so I had to pry them out with my fingernails (ick!).
I have been nordic-tracking regularly, and I feel awesome. Also the diet is going pretty well...We had a brief moment of weakness involving bacon-wrapped jalapenos last night, but we're back on track. I think I will fit into my spiffy new jeans soon, which will be a day for much glee.
W went to a homeschooler farmer's market yesterday, which was pretty cool. I got some blueberry-lime jam, a bunch of veggies, and some goat milk soap. I also got my name put on a waiting list for cabrito. I'm trying to figure out how to cook it in the oven still, but maybe it would be better grilled.
I think that's it.

I love reading your blog. It's not quite as good as you being here, but almost. Interesting plant fertilizer, but it sounds like it works. ;-)
Hang in there, I want to see you in those jeans!
Hey, does Pete have a shotgun yet? 'Cause I was just looking at the kids-in-the-fountain photo, and Mina is going to be smokin'. I know she's young yet, but her face is clearly begining to settle into her adult lines. Also, self-defense. You can teach her all that hand-to-hand stuff you know, right?
On a completely less creepy note, CAN NOT WAIT to see you guys at Christmas. I'm literally already making packing lists and stuff.
