Clouds

What a gorgeous day.  Cool and sunny,  Rebel and Buddy were in the front paddock when I got out to the barn.




I cleaned both stalls before they came in.  It looked like they had hardly been inside.



Right after I finished, I got Gary to help me jump start the old John Deere so I could mow the pastures.
We are going to have a lot of company starting next weekend and I just won't have time to do it.
Finn came up to help Gary in the garden.
Check out those clouds!  They were like that most of the day.


I ran out of gas and Finn refilled the tank for me.


It took many hours, but I got everything finished except for the outdoor arena.





Took a break then finished that.  It was so dusty from being dry I was a filthy mess when I was done and had to take a shower.  Boy, do we need rain.


Kim JR stopped up for some garlic and we had a chance to get in a lot of political chatter.  At the same time, our friend Jim C. arrived and he and Gary had a nice long conversation.


I tried to take a nap, but it didn't work.
Made a zucchini, tomato, onion pie for dinner.
Gary found some cucumbers and shallots in the garden he and Finn were working on.
Chores at 7:45.  The boys really seemed to enjoy the temperature today.  That hot muggy stuff was so nasty for them.





Night all.

I hope you get some rain. We experienced several very dry years and are no having a very wet year. We had one year where we mowed the yard once a month just for weeds...and dirt like you said.

Gary is still laboring in the gardens? Yikes. I sure hope you get rain.
