I spent a whole afternoon picking 600 dandelions to make dandelion honey 🙂 I got about 6 jars, using 1.5kg of sugar, 2 grapefruits, 1 orange and 2 lemons. The chickens helped a bit, if only by providing constructive criticism as I looked for good dandelion spots (though I think they assumed I was looking for worms.) The other animals helped not one bit.
The more I think about the lies and manipulation (which does take two to tango), the more I want to manipulate and contort her to my will.
She’s too independent and frightened for that, however. She needs to be steadied with a firm hand and gentle offerings before she submits. She always wanted to be treated like a kitten, nice and safe in a big warm bed.
