Our current heat wave has been giving us misty, moist mornings.
We've had our share of thunderstorms... late afternoon dark clouds gather...
giving us enough rain so that watering has not been a necessity.
Mornings are my favorite time...
and truly the only time that is comfortable for being outside.
The animals seem happiest in the early morning hours
as they contentedly graze.
By mid morning, everyone is ready to retreat to the shade.
I walk the Littles down from the upper pastures, Hubbs... the ponies.
As for Moonbeam... he takes himself back to the barn every morning,
hooves thundering across the field.
I love that sound!
Yesterday morning, the runner ducks went on quite a walkabout.
They nonchalantly walked down the lane almost to the sheep...
much further than they had ever gone before!
much further than they had ever gone before!
At some point they must have realized how far they had gone,
and headed straight back for the barn...
By the time they made it to the barn they were running....and ran straight through their pool...
which, by the way, they had not ventured into before.
Later in the day, however, it was obvious that they had again been in the pool.
I tried my hardest to get a photo of them swimming...
resorting to the use of a game camera...
but no luck.
As we've all seen before, these gals are not always cooperative when it comes to photos!
Peach season has arrived!
We picked our peach tree yesterday...
the first harvest ever for this tree.
Enough for a pie... it's a start!!
Hopefully by the end of the weekend, this heatwave will be over...
for the sake of the animals, I am hoping!
Have a terrific weekend... and stay cool!
We'll be back Monday to share our weekend adventures with you.

Good for Moonbeam!
We are having some hot days here too, but next week should be better.
Enjoy your peaches! Any tips for peach tree care? We have one on our new property and it shows no signs of fruiting.
Enjoy your weekend!
I could watch the video of Moonbeam over and over.
Have a great weekend.

All we have is 85-90+ steam, humidity, yikes!
Air is not moving, mosquitoes are thick.
I am enjoying a really good book!
What a great post! When I saw the spider web the first thought was Charlotte's web..
I just love Moonbeam, and those ducks crack me up.
blessings,
