Elizabeth, my friend's granddaughter has been staying with us, and we've been seeing the farm with new eyes. 

Here she is planting sunflowers for us.

We have pretty much finished the tomatoes and are now laying landscape fabric and trying to control the tomatillos, planting cucumbers and weeding. Even working for ourselves, the day is pretty regimented. We're up super early, especially when it's going to be hot. We water the animals, weed, plant and water for 3 or so hours, make lunch, run errands and work in the shade until it's time to swim, jump into the lake, then make dinner and before you know it. it's time to feed the animals, get the eggs and clean up for bed. It's a little easier as the days shorten. Before the solstice, we don't get the animals bedded up until after 9:15 P.M. We feed at dark and that's when it gets dark. So as much as I enjoy the longer day, it is a relief to get done a little earlier.

So, we're doing a couple of events on the farm on the 17th and the 31st at 2 P.M. We'd love to see you all. Please let us know which you will attend. 

If you guys could bring back our Styrofoam egg cartons, we would really appreciate it. They are getting more and more scarce and the store that carries them near us, switched to paper ones also. We pack our egg coolers the night before with ice so we don't have to get up earlier(5 is early enough)So thanks in advance for returning them and any extras you have hanging around. 

We'll see you Saturday. 

God's Blessings on you and yours, 

TTFN, 

Sam and Billy
