Howdy, County Fair has somewhat started here. Been down the past couple days helping and seeing friends. Got lambs sheared, so now just all the little things to get done to be ready.
Back to job work today.. But short day. Farm stuff last few days....hot and dry! We sure need a couple soaker days of rain. Pastures crunchy and corn fields curling.
Not far away in VA Beach the tourist crowds are loving it. . Different priorities.
82 degrees at 7a. Not a cloud in the sky. Two weeks til moving day. Hubbs has fenced a 5 acre pasture area w barn to start with. I will have to shepherd on additional grazing since it’s 4 strand barbed wire. Sheep may stay in because there’s enough to eat. Dogs on the other hand…
Chores, then to work....a friend saw me and asked if I'd like some corn. Free corn.
So followed her to her cousins farm...only about 6 miles from my home. Picked a load!! Like 18 dz +/- . They're cutting it down tomorrow...take all ya want. I did.
Now, process....some in freezer on cob. Some I'll can. Gonna be a long night. Cheese will have to want until tomorrow. It's busy this time of year.
I did 4 doz on the cob like you said @Mini Horses ... plus doing the squash. Got more of that to do again.
Deer in the tomatoes now....eating the tops of the plants on one end....
