Did we notice summer?
I say that if I dont hit the ground running in April, summer is over. And I am right. Almost August and what have I accomplished on the farm? Drought had me running ragged to haul water to save plantings. I cut down some scrub trees. Futzed here and there and that imaginary do list is undone.Spring rains had fields with standing water. So guy didn't get them planted. Then the drought hit. Got 2 inches of rain and then he planted soybeans. I went to check and tiny things spouted. They are hanging on even though no more rains. I can't believe how nature will struggle to fulfill destiny. Maybe rain tonight. Please?
I should be working on buildings. Trucks. Brush, wood. Funny how I can come up with 100 excuses to hang in the house like in winter.
I have hens who sit on eggs. Even the cement fakes. Dummies! Set up one in brooder cage. She sat her month til one rotten egg left and gave it up. I opened the cage and the hens now cleaned. So beat my brains out to bend an old steel snow shovel blade the way I wanted to make a metal bottom in the carton they sit in. Put in hay last night. One hen is broody. So add eggs and hen and cross fingers. I have 19 chickens and be nice to get a few more.
Kittens around. They breed fine..sigh.

I wish I could have a vicuna. But, not in Wisconsin. Have considered alpacas. No way I would be a Lama mama tho.

Translated loosely it sez: My child is worse than a damn goat, and a goat is a pain in the butt..
