Vacation time!! I think??

Well here it is, vacation time. Time to get ready for a week of doing absolutely nothing! The girls are going to take care of the farm while we are away. They don't even have to mow because with the heat it has stopped growing. We will be going to a far away land to be waited on by those happy go lucky high school and college kids just wanting to make a few extra spending dollars. Ahhhh................. I can feel the cool breeze now. Smell the fresh air..............what a great time....................... 
Screechhhhh.......... whoa............. wake up! 
Vacation time. The hottest most humid week of the year. It doesn't matter what week it is on the calendar from May through October it will either be oppressively hot (115 heat index this week) or raining. We got the heat.
That's OK though, we have still been able to get some things done around here. The garden weeds always seem to get ahead of us so they are always on the to do list.

OK, so that was LAST WEEK! We accomplished a lot but it went by way too fast and I didn't finish this. Garden looks really good thanks to my husband and his crazy work ethic. He doesn't sit still just goes till he drops. We built some really cool looking pyramid sprinklers for the garden. The corn is going to ready this weekend finally. We have gotten some cucumbers and zucchini. The pumpkins, watermelons and cantaloupe are going crazy! 
We have moved the baby goats from Michigan in with the others and so far so good. I thought we had lost all of our Guinea keets because they were coming up whenever I went to the barn. I couldn't find them anywhere but my husband found them when he came home. Something must have tried to get them though because momma wont let them out of the tall grass.
 We lost all of our Muscovy eggs so we are trying again. I candled them and most look good so far. Hopefully this batch will hatch! It's the first time we have ever had a complete loss.
 My son in law and grand kids saw the doe and fawn the other day so they are doing fine . The heat is crazy but there is still plenty of water available for them.
 The icing in the cake so to speak was staining the deck we had built. That went up this spring to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. It looks awesome!

 Any way my vacation may not be what most people envision but I enjoyed it. Too bad it had to end.
