It is defiantly summer now. Most days we have a high of 90 F and still no rain. At least we are having some in the forecast for next week. I really hope we are getting some before then. Prizz and Phillip (that’s what we named the foal) are doing well and have adjusted. Jack and Prizz like each other and it is so cute that Phillip and Jack stand in front of each other and touch their muzzles through the fence and mom just keeps on grazing. She is really great and I am glad she is not so over protective, she is a real people horse and loves to be petted. I can't wait until Phillip is big enough so they can join Jack on the big pasture. I put a halter on him for the first time this past weekend and he made me wrestle him a bit but I got it on him. Unfortunately it was way to big for him even though I bought the smallest they make and so he pulled it off a couple hours later. Oh well, I will just have to try again this weekend. We didn't go anywhere for the holiday weekend, just stayed home and worked on the farm and rode Jack. He got a bath and lots of loving and thoroughly enjoyed it. Other than that we just went in the pool and the kids had a couple of friends over to play for a while. The garden is surviving the draught, but only barely and only by watering it almost every night. I pulled out the first Zucchini’s and they were great... The first two ears of corn are forming and the tomatoes are blooming, I love this time of year because everything is growing. It is really a miracle how that works. You take a tiny seed put it in dirt; add water and sunshine and you get food. God is really awesome. The kids are excited about the end of the school year " No more homework...YEAH!!!" and I agree with them it takes so much of our time in the evenings. I know it is important but I will enjoy the break too. One of my Neighbors came this weekend and took three of the baby bunnies from the last litter. She has three kids and they are going to keep them as pets. Much better than the alternative... My boss still wants more bunnies and told me he would by them from me as discussed earlier, so I breed one of the older females yesterday with my buck so we'll see if we have new babies in a month. I am starting to accept that this is just part of my farm life. And if I want to be more self-sufficient I have to accept these thing, I guess Well, that’s it for now got lost to do as always. Hope everyone is having a great week.
