Could it really Be summer?

Today I finally started putting summer sheets on the beds and brought in the fans and washed them. The fans are now strategically placed around the house in hopes of cooling it down. This is quite a momentous occasion as some of us thought that summer was not going to really arrive. I think that the water buffalo were some of those wondering and were extra happy today. The muskox on the other hand were probably pleased when it started to cool down tonight.

James has been making Water Buffalo Mozzarella and tomato salads a lot lately. He slices the cheese and then the tomatoes. Artistically he places them on a plate, the cheese on top of the tomato. He then drizzles them with oil and vinegar. The final touch is the sprinkling of the Basil. Watching James,I have no doubt of the pleasure he feels when preparing the salad. He is then swept away into another existence while he savors each bite. When he has finished the last morsel he will express his amazement at how good it is.

I am the cautious type of person. James, well, he doesn't need things so well planned and figured out as I do. James has the attitude that if it can be done why can't he do it? He isn't stopped by the fact that he doesn't know a thing about the item or that nobody else is doing it. He gains an interest in something, learns all he can about it and then tries to do it. Some people might think that he is foolish. Sometimes he really stresses me out, but I admire this quality in him so much. He is a clever man with endless interests and abilities. Because of this James is taking us all on an exciting new adventure.

So here's to the WATER BUFFALO ADVENTURE that we have begun. The water buffalo are great animals and the mozzarella that James makes is very enjoyable. We are still amazed at the overwhelmingly positive response to this cheese.
