Summer Update

Well, as I am sure most of you know that it has been a hot and dry summer, nothing much got done around here.  Oh a few things here and there but nothing exciting or major.  My garden did not produce much, a few potatoes, tomatoes and 3 cucumbers, everything else died off from the heat.  That was disappointing as I had such high hopes for it this year.  We also decided to start fencing off the property, bought alll the fence posts, and then attempted to put them in the ground, which turned out to be too hard and we ended up breaking a punch of pins on the tractor.. a few weeks later we had 4 straight days of rain in which we got a few more fence posts in the ground after that we decided we would need to wait till spring when the ground was nice and soft.  We took a few weekends to go camping. That pretty much sums up the summer, it was hot and dry.  In the mean time I have decided to write a series of posts about the animals that live on the farm.
