Our first entry because Jess just got the internet hooked up while I did sun salutations in our living room and sweated like mad in this 98 degree evening heat!

Today we learned how to clean wheat and beans in this giant shaking shifter machine which cleans out all of the husks and rocks and grass from the product and sifts it out. It took about three hours but it was nice to be inside during the afternoon since today was the HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR here in eastern Montana, I believe it got to 101 and what were we doing during the hottest day of the year? Oh, we were hoeing peppers and tomatoes out at Alvin Hoff's place and shoveling rocks into a rock path in our office garden/farm. For those of you who know me, you can imagine how completely drenched I was today. As for Jess, her back is killing her but it didn't stop her from teaching me how to make sushi tonight. We made and ate a ton of sushi (all vegan of course as Jess is a vegan) and will be bringing some to Peggy and Bruce (our bosses) tomorrow (and maybe Tim and Erin if they are lucky).

Bedtime.
