Cats sleep in the weirdest places. I think they feel like they just MUST try any new spot. This time it’s my husband’s work area. He’s tidying up his trailer and he put some stuff on this table, and, of course, Maple had to test it. She seems to be enjoying it

One thing that I love about Missouri and missed when we lived in California is the rain. California has months with no rain, and endless heat. Yes, it’s dry heat, but it feels like forever. It would be so much more bearable if it rained occasionally.
This rain is just what we needed. Such a welcome change. Everything is refreshed. It smells amazing too.
Praise the Lord for his daily mercies

SPA DAY for our piggies.
It’s SOOO HOT out here today. They love a good bath and a mud pit.
I love watching them frolic

They found them!
My first squash borer.
So far my cucumbers look great, but I’ll be getting busy pickling them while I still have them

My forever apron, whatever dress or tshirt I’m wearing lol
Do you ever go out to the garden “real quick “ “just to check things out” and end up staying 2 hours?

This Guinea keet had a VERY BAD case of splay leg and his feet were stuck in a downward claw shape. I had to construct special “sandals” that not only kept his toes in the correct position, but also pulled his feet up, so he can put his foot down. Then I used rubber bands to keep his legs together. Poor thing used to lean left and fall, and spin in circles. Happy to report he is a bit wobbly but able to walk straight now

Lots of harvest.
It’s also pickle season

Somehow, no matter how thorough you are, one or two cucumbers always hide well enough to get to a humongous size. At least the pigs and chickens will be happy.
We are literally drowning in cucumbers. Need to pickle some soon

Cucumbers should be picking size in a couple of days
