| All seems peaceful at the Pig farm. |
Tuesday morning our walk took us down to the Pig farm. The weather was very cool with temperatures in the 60's. As we walked along on the road that leads to the farm I noticed that one of the wild Holley bushes has berries that are now turning red. The birds really like these berries. If you have one of the Hollies in your yard it will be frequented by many types of birds in the winter. I believe I read on the web site
eattheweeds.com that some people use these Holley leaves for a tea that has more caffeine than coffee or tea.

I think I would have to be pretty desperate for caffeine to drink Holley tea. Once we arrived at the pig farm we found everything in order and started home. When we arrived home I offered some roasted peanuts to the dog and he loved them. I don't know if peanuts are ok for a dog or not but, my dog likes them green, roasted and boiled. I went down to the peanut patch on Monday evening and gleaned the field. I found a couple of plants that had been missed and I brought them home, washed the peanuts, soaked them in brine and parched them in the oven for 15 or 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

I have been snacking on them ever since. I still have a few more plants I want to pick up at the patch but I will need to bring a bag. They will be picking up what remains of the peanut plants to make big round bales for animal feed soon so I can't wait long. Thanks for reading my blog today. Bye.
