But today we seem to be all set for the rest of the summer .
Here are some up and down photo's, but before I do, There are two needs that I need to share. The first is the Babushka we helped with her eye surgery a month ago. It is now time for her final surgery . They are looking for help of $350 for this last surgery. The other need is a for a family we have been helping. usually we have helped them with coal, but last winter we were able to get their house connected to the city hot water. The house was nice and warm, but there is a bit of a learning curve. She did not seem to realize that she has to pay for that heating bill of $50 a month for 5 months. She has asked with help with this. I would like to help with the bill and put her on an equal billing through us throughout the year so the price is less and so that the majority can be paid in the months that they work in the summer . To get them squared up with the city we need $250.
So lets go up the mountain now.

| Yesterday was pay day , and after being payed, Mirlan came back to me and handed his money back to me and said " I don't need money for anything , I have everything I need , Maybe you could hold it for me and one day I can buy my own cow," We talked with him and he understands the monthly expenses of a cow and he agreed that it would be good business for him. The problem is that we are trying to keep the numbers of cows down right now, so I don't want to buy a new one yet, so we offered him Julies calf at a very fair price .. He agreed , and Just like that the calf needs more milk through the day, it needs chopped corn and it needs a vitamin salt lick, and now lives in the petting zoo ... |
 |
| Aigoola has been busy makoing more beautiful blankets for us , with the extra beds and giving away too many last fall we have had to make 18 more. |

 |
| Back at the kashar Marat built and installed the bench seat in the shower room |
 |
| and finally today back down at the farm we moved the herbs we started in the green house out into the herb garden . Today we planted Basil, Cilantro, Chives, Oregano, and Thyme |
