I cant believe all the catchup I need to get done here. It is overwhelming at times. The weeds have completely taken over the garden while we were away. I have been working on both the gardens every day since we returned, and am about half way through them. Replanting the green beans, pulling weeds, pulling carrots, debugging the cabbages. The grapes have Birds Eye Rot, again this year. So frustrateing! All the heat and rain is really taking a toll on everything. I was hopeing to get the goat shed built this weekend, but it looks like we will be going to my stepdads to help him out on saturday for a bit, then going to get a few loads of firewood from a friend. He had dropped several trees, and cut it, we need to split it. :/ At least its free!
Sunday we will spend the day in Ohio, with the inlaws. Every year they have a big cookout at thier place...and we all get together.
Looks like the goat house will have to waite a bit longer.
I tried to turn Mary and Angel out with the rest of the flock. That didnt go over too well. Poor little Angel was chased by everyone. She was out of breath, so I put them back in the stall. Maybe another week. I hope I can get them out there soon, I know Mary needs and wants fresh grass. I have been cutting it for her but she really needs to graze.
This morning hubby has an appointment at the VA hospital. Just a checkup, and to get his scripts. Its an hour and a half drive, one way....yuk! On the good side, there is a woman up near there that has donated 2 farm gates to us, and we will be picking them up.
I Better get outside and get the chores done, so I have time to shower before we leave.
