If you are wondering why there have been no posts in July and August, I (Teresa) was very sick in July with what turned out (after almost a week in hospital at the end of the month) to be two tick borne diseases, Lyme and babesiosis. If you are as unfamiliar as I was with the second one, there were parasites multiplying and destroying my red blood cells, causing fevers of 103 F 39 C, and I was very sick. Three weeks after getting out of the hospital I am almost feeling normal. I had a lot of naps for a while.
Everyone is doing fine in Ukraine, I hear there are a couple new orphan guys coming to the farm this week. The wheat was harvested in early July and now they are making corn silage. Here's a few photos.
I believe Max was trying to show Garry how tall the corn crop is this year. It looks good.
Last week they were selling cheese at a nearby village for a festival, and the booth looked great. That's one of the two ladies that helps Elena make cheese, Oleg and Elena. You can see the labels- Garry's farm- on the cheese and the front of the booth.
Here's a few photos from a birthday picnic.
