Summer 2010

Well it's another hot DRY day on the farm...it's been a while since we've had time to blog!
Rain showers have been very few and far between, every year I always say next year will be better. We received a lot of rain during the winter months but when the temps started rising the rain stopped. I think everyone around us has received rain, we've just received a few sprinkles.
Temp's have been extreme this summer with heat indexes over 110.
But we still have faith. Faith that we will receive our share of rain!

Our animals are as miserable as we are. Even the dogs stay on the porch close to the water bowl. The cows grazing times have changed to late late afternoon and early evening and they are back in the shade by 9 in the morning. Of course the pigs don't seem to care as long has they have water in the water hole to lounge around in. The garden is doing well, of course we have to water, I don't think the plants fare as well without rain water though.

I know that the rain will come soon...it always does...

But all in all everything is still happy and still glad to be in the game!
