So much time messing around with the modern computer, online, offline, new modems!   I am back on for the time being. For those who don't come visit,  a few update pictures.

 So here we have Stan,  lolling around the yard.   Seems like he will be here to stay.     O.k.  He's not a bad dog, but hope the puppy in him calms down soon.  

 The heat was unbearable here the last week or two.  Everyone was trying to keep cool.   I use to think that pictures that came in my inbox were of animals that must have been drugged, or from a taxidermist.   I am here to tell you that they really do pose like this, especially when they are hot!

 With the very warm evenings it brought out lots of new nightlife around the porch light.  Isn't  this the neatest moth?   It was huge, but not as big as the luna moth we had a few years back.

 For father's day, Rebekah made a huge chocolate chip fish cookie for her father.   It was so big, we had to push it onto foil that was wrapped around my stove rack.  It barely fit 

 She was very excited to give Tom his new charcoal grill.  She worked some overtime and bought it herself. 

   Roni had three kids this year.    Two bucks survived.  I am ready to pass the kids on so I can make my cheese.  I found a local store that sells liquid rennet so that I can make the mozzerella.

 Pictures of the barn.  Weather and work has delayed doing some, but Tom had Jessalyn helping this week putting up the roof where the hay will go.  After that is up, he will be working on the north side.  It will match the south, with four stalls that are 10x10 and house the goats and a tack room.  He thinks that this is the hard part....wait until it come to deciding the color of the barn and for the metal roof!
