Zinnia’s school had an egg hunt yesterday at which the “Easter Bunny” made an appearance. The Producer fled with her bucket, a similar reaction to the one she had at their Christmas party with Santa. I realized that she has an innate sense of facade, a trait kids seem to share. But adults tell them to stifle it, “come on it’s just fun,” and then when we get older we simply turn that into, “what are you, a conspiracy theorist?!” I have also noticed that The Producer has an innate desire to participate and help around the farm. I can see how parents would say, “I’ll just do it myself because kids are messy, awkward, take forever, etc” but once again we have discouraged what could turn into the curiosity of an adult who is engaged in his or her community. Just some thoughts on this Easter weekend. Being a parent continues to teach me so much about why Jesus said, “Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” For those of you celebrating the empty tomb today, hosanna! One of my favorite verses in John is the very last line, “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.“
Here is a short clip from last Sunday's show where Carl DiPiazza of Organic Gut Solution and I discuss how candy and grocery store waste is often fed to cows, from beef to dairy - though I have seen reports that the same can be said for pigs. It is not just surprising to me that candy is fed to cattle with the wrappers included - but that so many mainline agricultural "experts" recommend this as part of a beneficial and cost effective calorie source for cows.
Calories are not just calories - and the same can be said about fish oils - which is why I get mine from Green Pasture. I started taking the fermented cod liver/concentrated butter oil 15 years ago and it stopped my seemingly endless battle with chronic cavities.

It would be easy to think Sassy’s behavior is accidental but I’ve watched her for 33-years now and she is excellent at sending messages in her own language. The other day I cleaned the goat stalls and put brand new shaving in them - only to have Sassy go right into one of them and lay a massive poop. Then, after I cleaned that, she pooped again right in the goat feed dish. Any guesses what she’s trying to communicate?
Don’t forget to grab your fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil - which is how I protect my teeth to make sure I can communicate my disappointment with Sassy when she acts like this! 🤣Use promo code “ALISON” for 10% off at check out. https://greenpasture.org/
I have used this bread recipe so many times, I could make it in my sleep now. I got it from The Sweet Simple Things website but I changed honey to maple syrup. I’ll put their link in the comments. I have a sourdough starter ready to go, so I will be moving into sourdough territory soon. However, this is a great, simple and quick recipe if you need bread within a few hours. If you have bread recipe you use often, please share in the comments! Also I am looking for an easy sourdough recipe for freshly ground whole wheat flour.
You can even spread your fermented cod liver oil/concentrated butter oil on a piece of your fresh bread and maybe it will balance the taste a little. Protect those chompers so you can eat more than bread for years to come. (And… Let me know if you try spreading it on your bread!)

I'm Exposing Dr. Fauci | Jun 19, 2026 | TULSI GABBARD
"Yesterday was my final day as Director of National Intelligence. I released never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. Go to ODNI.gov to see for yourself." ~ Tulsi Gabbard
