Staycation

We have gone from too wet to too dry.  It's been hot also, and the wheat matured quickly and has been harvested.  The straw has been baled and moved home.  Because of the heat, I have been sprinkling pigs several times a day trying to keep them cool.  So far we have missed the little pop-up showers that occasionally pass thru the area.  The corn and soybeans are still uneven and growing slowly.  The early corn is just starting to tassel.  Summertime is in full swing.

I "attended" an online farm auction last week, and bought an antique forge.  It is missing a couple parts, but my blacksmith instructor says he has spare parts he will give me.  Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will be able to get it operating.

Angie and Roy Jr. brought Uncle Roy from Iowa out for a visit.  So we got a small family group together and went out to eat tonight.  It was the first time we went out to eat in a restaurant since the quarantine began back in March.  It was good to see and visit with the relatives.  And to eat out.

Last weekend we were able to get our whole family together for a couple of days.  All four children, spouses, and nine grandchildren were home.  Three states were represented.  So, it was like a mini family vacation at our house.

Food, family, fellowship.

Iced coffee on the patio.

Swim party.  Daddy pool (cow tank), Mommy pool, and baby pool.

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
