It was just too hot and humid to stay out any longer. But we got some more done and built up the burn pile again.
Coffee anyone ?

We've had upper 80s with humidity almost same until couple days ago. First cold front just took out humidity...nice! Now second cold front brought cooler temps along. It was only 65 at get up this morning. After early week, thought I was cold! 😁 🤫 so had left windows open...I don't even put my AC to these temps. Brrrrr...
. Will be real nice to go outside and work today. Once dew dries some.
Sunny, cool, long list of "to dos". Yep. Three days to play like I'm retired.

Storms moving through! Yes we need the rain! Just a few sprinkles so far. 
Last day to work on several the 4H projects, DH and DS are building a rifle rack... they started it last night.
DD2 is finished and we're washing/drying DD1's tie dye tshirt today... they're not turning out the greatest but oh well. Her Poster is finished. She'll still have 3 projects but they go in next week on different days/times. Needs to make her electric project (DH's thing), cookies and pick/make a bouquet. DS has a lamp to rewire for his electric project again (DH's thing). The two older ones have their tractor driving tests on Monday, the obstacle course is the following Monday. Wednesday is part 1 of the horse show. Sigh... ready for the next two weeks to be done so we can rest.
One of the does is nesting this morning, better late than never!! The doe who didn't have have a litter until she was 3, so that's super great! And her litter should tell me more about the buck's genotype!

We went to Livingston to see friends today. Found out DS was in Alto, working on a school, so on the way back, we stopped. That’s the crane he runs, that’s him on the left walking back.

I dot even come up to his shoulder. They will leave this job Wednesday. Then he breaks down the crane and either drives it back to the shop or to the next job.

My very cool morning quickly went to upper 80s ! Before that I did all the errands I'd been putting off,. PD bills on line and started farm stuff after. Unloaded feed, did chores and released goats into big field where I'd made fence repairs yesterday. YES!!!!!! Still in there....walking that fence line but, have discovered the escape is gone and settled down to graze.
I walked to back to pick blackberries, then took tractor to use front end loader as my extension ladder to get up and over! Just climbed the arms and settled in the loader, over and among the canes. Nice. Berries are larger than past, so by sun night I'll have a real good batch.
Before, while walking back to get tractor, I found several passion fruit vines. One had about 6 fruits. Strange. These aren't maypops as best as I can tell but, I'm on the border of temps for the varieties. Guess that's a "find" of sorts. 😁 I'd rather "find" ginsing.
. They are along the old RR track. Lot of mullion out there, too.
But these passion vines are in a gully formed by the raised tracks, with a LOT of rock, so a big heat bank for them. Now, I wait for them to ripen. Hope the groundhogs don't get them first! Grandad used to hunt groundhog. Grams cooked it. Hmmmm 🤔
Also noticed my behind me neighbor had filled some groundhog tunnels along the ridge...maybe that's why I've seen activity back on my field again. Trap time!
Funny what you find when you stay home.
