Yesterday was day one without water at the barn.
Getting water out to the animals was a matter of filling up 9
three gallon watering cans at the house to haul around to birds and goats.
Luckily I had just filled the horses' troughs before the pump went out.
As for watering the garden....
(there is always a back up plan!)
Hubbs hauled this big water tank/wagon to the highest point of the garden
so that watering the garden boxes
could be accomplished by gravity flow.
The garden is really doing great...
(Remember last summer? We had more cukes than we ever could have imagined.
This year I planted a few less plants
(but still plenty!)
In a few short weeks we should be up to our ears in fresh produce.
I thought you might enjoy a peaceful visit to the pond with me.
We lost two over the weekend...sad, but this is life at the edge of the wood.
Here, I saved you a seat....

Thanks for the visit...
now I really must get back to work!
I hope your day is splendid...
I am sure mine will be.

I hope you get all the little woes taken care of. I wrote you a few months back about how homesick for the farm in Tn I was. Well we have been blessed here in Florida to find a new farm. We went last Saturday to look at the property. It is wonderful. 20 acres surrounded by 6000 acres of woods. You spoke of chiggers, I did not think we would be walking the property so I wore shorts, mistake, still today I am scratching. Thanks for sharing your farm life.

MIssing duckling question? Could you have a snapping turtle in your pond? I hope not!
Thanks for sharing their sweetness in your video.

I've run across a couple different fridge pickle recipes but now that I'm ready to make them, I can't find anything that looks good!
