PU

Day1: Huh, there's a dead skunk out on the road near the house. Can't even smell it it. Cool.

Day 2: Uh-oh. Can you smell that? Egads, I hope its just the dead skunk and not a different one.

Day3: Same skunk, still stinky. Somebody just keeps shmucking it as they drive by... stirring up the stink.

Day 4: Even stinkier than a skunk, is a 4 day-dead skunk smeared all over wet dog. ^%$ing dog!

Yes, I still work around the farm!



I just get up early, get the chores done, then enjoy the afternoon on the lake. See...

critters first...
layers, and Randy the Rooster, and ducks












then the broilers...














then a morning 'hello' to the belties















then a distant 'allo' to the longhorns,

LAZY DAY!









2 days ago she wouldn't even go in the water.


















Dock expanded, huge shade umbrella bolted on, ladder installed.

Farm-Schmarm!

Today is the first real day of summer vacation (for reals - as Evan says).
AM- garden/farm,
MID- garden,
PM-garden/lake!!
We put the dock in on Sunday, 4 of 8 pieces at least, and got to enjoy it tonight with the kids. We brought Grandma Penny's picnic basket and the diggity-dogs and everyone went swimming. We even saw 2 loons swim by - which made the whole evening.
