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.

Coffee is on and some storebought donuts. Finally getting a good rain shower. 
Miss Dora had 7 healthy kits, crazy how all three of the does I rebred this spring had larger litters the 2nd time.
according to my records this doe had 25 misses, before giving us 2 litters this year....
Lost a doe too... a favorite. She was only 3 but has given me 4 litters and was a sweet easy going girl.
definitely some highs and lows this year.
One doe due next week and we are done for awhile.
4h check in this morning then we'll see if dd2 will. have a tball game since it's raining.

Very breezy this morning, maybe 15+. Ok at 73 but heading mid 90s. And humidity has returned. You can sure feel it. Guess I'll do my outside first and spend lunch until dinner in AC. if the goats are smart they will hunker under those trees out there! They are just enjoying the cool morning right now. Breakfast over and clear...need to finish loading dish washer and run it.
They say we'll get tail end of those rains coming from gulf about Mon or Tue. Pastures are ready for it!

Thanks for the coffee and doughnuts! Going to take down a big dead tree this morning. Robert will tie off on it, run the rope around another tree in the direction he wants it to go, (away from the fence) and BJ will hold tension with the tractor. We have a couple to bring down.
Hot, much too hot.

Neighbor’s wife is out of town for the week. He’s mowed the yard 5 times in two days, and then started mowing a different neighbor’s yard. Then tried to brush hog the ditches. At the moment he’s shooting snakes; which has me worried because I have tall grass and exploring ducklings. Hopefully he gets them, or that he’s actually shooting at a hose. Entertainment in the country!

5 times in 2 days?!? That man is REALLY bored!
I hope he doesn't hit anything important when he's out shooting.

No kidding lol. Lightning struck his workshop about two weeks ago and it still doesn’t have electricity in it which just adds to.
