A day on the farm

Thursday August 16

Today has been a hard on for me. Jon Brandon turned 20 today. This is the first birthday I haven't been able to give him a hug and kiss. I thought back 20 years ago when I held this tiny little boy. I have to admit, I wasn't married when I had him. All I wanted back then was to be a mother and have a family. At that time, I didn't care if I was married or not. I got talked about and got some strange looks then. I could have cared less. When JB was laid in my arms, I thought to myself this is what life is about. Having someone to love and know that they would love you back. It was hard for us to survive but we did it. I had did something right, I had a beautiful son and I was finally a Mother.

 Today has been another hot one. Our heat index for all this week has been well over a 100. Our pool feels like a hot spa.

Haven't done too much here around the house. David and I have both been a little on the puny side. I think the heat has our sinius messed up. I know  that is David's problem. He bought a pair of pulling ponies and has been working them at night and the dust plus with horse hair has choked him up.

My plans for tonight and tomorrow is to finish painting our dining room( I started the project 2 years ago and haven't finished it yet). It has this awful wallpaper on it with HUGE cabbage roses on it , I want to paint the walls a pale yellow and decorate it with chickens and sunflowers.

Our plans for Saturday, is to get up early and hit some yard sales. I have a man coming late Saturday evening to look at one of my goats. His grandson wants to start showing and someone gave him my name and number. Maybe he can take a few off of my hands.

hey there.
