A day on the farm

Tueday July 31

I find it hard to believe that July is gone and August is knocking at our door. That would mean only that the summer is gone and the start of a new school season. No, I don't homeschool, wished I did though. My son David who is 18 will be a senior this year. He has some learning disabilities. So really he won't be getting a normal diploma but a special one. I often wonder where his life will take him. He is the reason I really got into the goat business. I wanted something that would be an income coming in for him.  He has trouble controlling his emotions but I often wonder if that comes from him living with his Dad for 3 years. His Dad turned the boys loose and they had not parent control. David is really a good kid and very tender hearted. The first year he moved back in with us was horrible but things are settling down and as long as we stay on a routine everything works out.

Emily will be going into the 8th grade. She moved in with her Dad last year. I worry about her for he leaves her alone too much if you ask me. She is a straight a student and is on the high school cross country track team, high school soccer team, junior high basketball team. I miss my baby but I know in time that she will be like the boys and come home to Moma.

Today has found me being lazy. I did work on some things but not a whole lot. It is hot and very humid here in the South. Even at 5:30 in the morning it is hot. I did hear thunder in the distance so I pray that maybe we will get some rain today. Only one good thing will come out of this drought, come fall the trees will have some of the most beautiful colorful leaves. Here in MS, our winters are not winters, it does get cold but nothing like some of you friends that live in the North. Snow, it has been a long time since we have had snow. Sure ever once in a blue moon we have an ice storm but to wake up to a white landscape only in our night dreams. 

hey there
