July

We got three more horses, I will get pictures this weekend and post. We took one in because she is only two years old, and a little thin, wormed her and we're hoping she'll spring back. We were able to turn the baby hens loose finally, and they are still confused but loving it all the same I guess. I have to guide them a little still to make sure they are figuring out the chicken coop - some don't have a clue and sleep out on the ground - which is WAY too dangerous, so the father in law and me went out and made make shift roosts for them between the cages they grew up in and so far its working. I haven't spent the time I need with our new puppy Duke. I say every morning when I feed and water him that I will come home and play with him, and it has yet to happen. He sure is a cutie pie though - and will be a HUGE dog. Training was going well, but really need to spend this weekend working with him one on one. The husband will be 49 Saturday and seems that he is on the 'outs' with most of his friends and family at the moment, so I will forgo the cookout I planned. We generally have visitors in and out most weekends, so I will just plan to cook in abundance and if it doesn't get eaten then we will have leftovers for a few days I suppose. (Less work for me in the long run). My dad will be here soon, maybe a week or two, and I'm really looking forward to that. He's going to see to it that my daughter's van has a new transmission, so now she can look forward to all three girls going to school this fall. That should be a load off for her, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she takes advantage of the additional time and gets a little bit more organized. I've been thinking of going back to picture blogging, and must get busy this weekend taking some new shots.
