Firewood

In this heat it really sucks getting firewood ready to burn for the cold winter months that are ahead us shortly. With the price of electricity who the heck can afford to heat their homes with the rising costs involved. So I’m trying to be a bit pro active and getting what I can get done while I can.

The Old Swimming Hole

I haven’t been swimming in a few years and I’m about fed up with that. I just remembered that there is an old swimming hole that we used to go to, not too far from here, that is sounding real good to me about now. This summer has been a real killer, with the temperatures in the 90′s and into the 100′s each and every day, over and over and over. So I’m planning on taking a trip there tomorrow to see if it is still there and if there is any water in it since we haven’t had much rain this year. It could very well be all dried up. And if there is any water in it, it will most likely be warm, but that is O.K anything would be better that what I’ve been dealing with this season.

Thank God for The Comedy Channel & Sinbad

Most people got to enjoy a three day weekend, with pay over the 4th of July. This isn’t the case for anyone who runs a farm, as I do. The work still needs to be done no matter what day or holiday it is. I did manage to cut the hours back just a bit and got to get in out of the heat that has been just crazy for the past couple of weeks. Our spring was cut short big time this year and we headed straight into the 90′s and the 100′s just like that.

I was glad that the Comedy Channel had nothing but comedians on all weekend long. I do believe that laughter is the best medicine and watching these stand up comedians gave me some decent laughter, which was really appreciated and needed over the weekend. Sinbad was the best of them all and I hope to see more of him. He hasn’t been around much lately and hopefully with make a serious come back once and for all.

Cool Waters

It has been so hot these past couple of days, it’s been a real killer considering it is still only May. We have been told that since it was such a bad winter that a bad summer will follow. I think someone actually knew what they were talking about.

The farm animals have been miserable as well. I’ve been trying extra hard to keep plenty of cool water available to them as much as possible. And I’ve been washing the vehicles more than usual just to have the opportunity to get some relief with the cool waters that come out of the hose for myself in the mean time.

Summer Time Blues

The days are all ready getting shorter, summer is on it’s way out. Way too much to do with so little time. I miss my life!
