Just random stuff...

Frank and I are getting ready to head out for a long weekend at the coast, so we had a little list of things we wanted to accomplish before we left. One of those things was to weed the garden, as we didn't want it to get away from us while we were gone. Well, there are a number of volunteer potato plants around the edge of the garden that we have left alone, but we needed to weed around them, and that's when we dislodged the first potato of year. Cute huh? So Frank mounded up a bunch of new dirt around these plants and maybe when we get home we can have a meal of new potatoes and peas. Yum.


Seems like we put up a lot of pictures of everyone else on the farm, but poor Jake the hunter kitty gets left out. I spotted him out in the field that we are resting behind our house, so I snapped a picture of him. I called him to see if he would look at me for the picture, but he was focused on planning his assassinations for the day and ignored me.


I have mentioned a few times that I use the neighbor's pasture for the boys in the summer. One nice thing about this pasture is that he has a pasture shelter built on the side of his shop that they boys really like on sunny days. On overcast days, like today, they can be found napping just outside the shelter, always with one standing and the other laying, taking turns. These boys are best friends and are happy to be together and stand guard while the other naps more soundly.


The donkeys are currently in our upper pasture by the barn while the lower one rests. In this pasture is a huge cedar tree that is just perfect for napping under. Here is Daisy showing how it's done.


We are taking the camera to Oregon with us to capture some of the fun we'll be having there. Of course Frank and Sandy will be spending some serious time on the beach, and Mom and I will be visiting a friend's goat dairy to play with the baby goats and I wanted to get some clamming in at low tide. Who knows what other kinds of trouble we'll be getting into!? We wouldn't be able to do this without such a good housesitter taking care of things here at home. Thanks Leah!! Catch you guys later!
