One thing that Summer demands of us is flexibility. This summer has, so far, been extremely hot and humid (with an occasional temperate day just to keep us sane!)
Getting the horses out to pasture as early as possible is essential.
It takes a lot of restraint for this boy to refrain from "sharing" the carrots that we add to Ginger's breakfast. What a good boy!
Garden chores are done either early in the morning or late in the evening.
This weekend, we tidied up the garden, cleaned the picnic pavilion, and mowed the farm in anticipation of our summer farm family picnic.
We had planned to have a make-your-own pizza party in the picnic pavilion. But, with temperatures in the mid-nineties and high humidity, we decided to move the festivities into the air conditioning. This gave the kids an opportunity to spend the afternoon in the pool.
By later afternoon, a little shadow fell across the blueberry field, cooling things down enough for a pick-your-own session.

Your garden just keeps on giving... Lots of harvesting to be done.
