Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Kids are enjoying those marshmallows!! It's fun. They're good. You are only a kid once. Love it while you can.

Farmer's markets can have "every" personality you can imagine and then some! But I love to go anyway.

Well, 60 sounds a tiny cold, except at night! 75-80 days are fine with me. Not the 98 predicted for today WITH 110 feel like temps!! Another 48 hrs, then cool back down and hopefully the rain they say will come along. After all this heat, we need it!! At least the coming week looks a little more normal. There are extended hours at libraries and some churches are open during the week for public access. All to help those who do not have benefit of AC at home, or on the streets if living there. Sadly many do.

I am thankful for the trees I planted 20 yrs ago! the animals are able to enjoy the shade & lay in the cooler grass beneath them. Helps to tolerate the heat.

News says it is "National Ice Cream Dah" Guess that is why my demo today is -- what else? Ice cream!! With this heat, you can only imagine how busy I will be!! Easily 600 samples....in about 4.5 hrs. BUSY dipping.

Once again -- stay cool, inside best. Do chores early!

Coffee is on!
@Mini Horses send me some of that ice cream!
Today is a day of errands....ace hardware, TSC, Walmart and hopefully that's all!
I have 2 does due to kindle tomorrow! One of them is my Holland doe who had cocci last week. She seems to have recovered really well...not sure if it will have any effect on her kits ? I hope not!
The other doe is a Netherland dwarf and this will be her first litter so...fingers crossed
HOT weather today, heat warning is in advisory for today and tomorrow...but then the news says that we're getting hit by huge thunderstorms that will keep the heat from reaching those dangerous levels. I sure hope so!
My rabbits were so hot yesterday when I got home. A break from it would sure be nice!
Everyone stay cool and have a great day!

It's been a real scotcher of a week here too. I've started back to work and I've been sweating bullets ever since. The critters have been doing good though. They know where the shady cool spots are.

@AmberLops I hope you have good litters today!

I'm home today & tomorrow. Slept well, hope to accomplish "something". Two more bucklings to wean off. Hope to separate them with the other 3. Then pretty much done with kids until sale time.
This should be our last of day of extreme heat. Drops into 80s all week. 10 degrees is a big difference. Plus less humid, rain coming....I hope. All this heat, we need some rain! Pastures & trees do. Probably Wed.

It's early, roos are crowing. Most are done but, always that one! Maybe he'd like a cup of coffee.

A fresh pot just finished brewing. Help yourself!

Get out and enjoy your day -- avoid the heat!

Thanks for the coffee.
Had a lovely weekend. Get too hot, just hang in the water for a bit! High today only 76! All bunnies made it. I had one I was sure wouldnt... Giving him some tlc... he's made it this long, see if we can get him to and through weaning. Hopefully will get on the trails this week. lots to do though...school planning and cleaning house...

76 and 80's! Sounds wonderful, glad y'all are getting some relief. Thanks for the coffee Mini Horses, it's good. We are watching our grand daughters today so our daughter can work on her dissertation for her PHD. Then they go to day care Tuesday and Thursday, that at least gives her 2 days in a row to concentrate. Tomorrow we go get feed for horses, sheep and chickens.

I have these hog heads in the freezer. Skinned, cleaned, sawn in half, so yesterday I boiled 4 halves and picked the meat off the bone. It's in the freezer waiting on me to do something with it. Sure takes up less space now. I bet I got 2 gallons of broth in the refrigerator, it is solid now. I have more heads to go, I think I'll try putting the next two halves in my granite roaster pan and put them in the oven. I think I'll can the broth, that stuff is rich! I'm gonna be busy all week, Maybe I can squeeze it all in.

Thanks @Mini Horses no babies yet though! My lop doe always seems to kindle a day late but I'm a bit worried about the new mom. Hopefully she does alright!
The weather here is the same, tomorrow it's going back down to the 80's which will be sooo nice!
@promiseacres i'm glad you had a good time! That weather sounds amazing right now. It would probably feel like winter since it's been so hot And i hope your little baby makes it, i'm rooting for him!
@Baymule That broth sounds delicious What are gonna use it for?

the market was set up in full sun, way too hot but everyone made it work!

Do the vendors not have big umbrellas or canopies? All the vendors at our Farmer's Market do. Good for sun or rain.

This market is set up under a 'dome' that has a glass top on it...nobody had an umbrella or canopy...but next time, i'm bringing my canopy It was too hot, and i'll be selling rabbits next time and they can't be in the sun like that!
