GREETINGS
Heat and humidity coming back.
A truck load of watermelon at the hay farm.
EXCITEMENT ON THE FARM
last night while putting my side yard chickens to bed I heard the sound of a coyote in the back . This is the first time that I have heard that sound on this mountain range. Often they are heard howling on the mountain range across the river. Well I expected this sooner or later.I will have to do some researching before winter comes.
This morning the sheep were out munching on my son’ts lawn. Somehow the gate was unhooked. They came right back home when they saw my son. I wonder how that happened. That is the first time that has happened in all the years I have lived here. Something else that has to be checked.
A skunk is visiting the farm and I am very glad when skunks are around there are no mice or rats.
MORE HAY
Betty and Dylan came on Saturday and got more hay and Cindy and Chris got hay on Sunday. My barn is almost full. The hundred bales of hay are for the spring April through June. I will keep buying hay throughout the winter but in those spring months there is often not much hay around this way I should be safe till next haying season. Thanks so much.
SALVE MAKING
Yesterday I made another batch of salve. Still have another batch brewing and the Poison Ivy Salve which I hope to make this week.
MAKE HAY WHILE THE SUN SHINES
Yesterday everyone was making hay. Great weather for it. I think that there will be a good supply of second cut although it’s pretty pricey.
Many thanks for reading my blog on this beautiful summer day. Carole
