The Old JD is Back in Business!

Not as hot as yesterday, but very muggy.

The coolest spot Little Wonder can find during morning chores is on the cement aisle by the stalls.

Of course Buddy and Rebel came back in again, and they made a mess.  Did not like the hay.

The day lilies are blooming like crazy and some of them are almost 4 feet tall.

Sidney Comes in every morning to eat, but prefers being outside to the coolness in the kitchen.

Gary planted some new flowers in front of the sign.  They are called glorisoa daisies.

He went down to Jenny's at 10am and again at 4pm to help put a couple coats of paint on her dining room walls.  Two more rooms to go.  

In the meantime, Scott worked on my old John Deere that had been losing power and found the problem.  In celebration, I gave it a good cleaning and will be very happy to have it for mowing the pastures.  It's has a much bigger deck than the new one and hopefully it  (the new one) will last longer since I won't be working it so hard.

Gary made everything for dinner on the grill tonight except for the salad.  Boneless pork, corn on the cob and grilled sweet onions (they were so good).  That way I did not have to heat up the kitchen.

Went out a little later for evening chores.  The gnats were back even tho the temperature was now in the lower 70s.

We could use some rain and just might get some tomorrow.

Night all.

 

Heat Advisory Will Be Back Sunday

Last night the moon was beautiful before I went to bed.

This morning it was not too bad when I went out to the barn.

Little Wonder was not thrilled....

Once again Buddy and Rebel were back in the barn just as I finished cleaning their stalls.  Must have been bugs.

My phone camera was acting up and it took me a long to figure it out.  Must have pushed the wrong button somewhere.  So I kept testing it.

I mowed the outside ring and it did not feel as bad as the last few days.

Also mowed the front paddock and did a little more weed whacking.

My poor dog was panting a lot and would hide out on the cement floor in Gary's barn.

Within an hour, Gary made two rhubarb sales.  This basket was for Lisa (Alice's friend) and she was going to make rhubarb syrup, which she freezes and uses in Mimosas.

Still testing.....

Finally, I turned off the phone and it must have reset itself, 'cause the camera started working right again.

Gary worked on a couple more gardens, and we went down to Fazools for a burger.

Chores a little after 8.  It was in the 70s, so I did not hose the boys.  They were hiding out in the run-in.

Still sitting in front of a fan.

Night all.

 

How About a Break?

To all my pals who live in states that have months of this kind of weather....you have my sympathies!  A high of 92 and very muggy....again. The heat index makes it even worse. Not for me or any of my animals.  I'll take winter any day of the week.

Little Wonder needs a break as much as I do.

At 1 I was at the library for bridge.  At least it was air conditioned.  My partner and I tied for first place.

Home a little before 5 and took it easy.

Sandwiches for dinner and chores at 8.  By then the temperature was 84 and the boys had been sweating, so they got the water treatment again.

They were happy to go inside so they could get away from the bugs.

Night all.  Time to get back out in the kitchen where it is cooler.

Night all.
