I'm SO looking forward to fall.
Coffee is on
Was it just me or was yesterday the longest day in existence? I wanted the day to be over at noon!
Had 2 no-shows for rabbits, which is a huge waste of time since I have to drive into town. One of them re-scheduled for today...we'll see.
When I was doing rabbits chores this morning, my neighbors dog was running around my yard. I called her over and she has a lot of hair loss and painful looking skin that didn't have last time I saw her.
So I made her some shampoo with oils, silver and a bunch of other stuff, put it in a bag with directions and left it in her owner's mailbox.Hopefully he'll use it on her, she doesn't look good.
Anyways, stay cool everyone and have a great day!

@AmberLops Hopefully, he will use it on her! We know it will only get worse if something doesn't happen.
Yesterday was a day L O N G here, too. Worked and let me tell you, the whole world was shopping at WalMart! Home, moved goats around, fed, collected eggs & shut coops, milked...now, after dark & finally inside for the night! Deal with milk, frig full....ready for bed, can't go to sleep
Get up, play solitare, get sleepy, back to bed.
Had to be up to get trash cans out, feeding done & into town to pick up DD who dropped car for minor work & state inspection at dealer. THEN realize that school started today -- and that I have the "take DGD to school" starting this week. It's Thu & Fri this month, M/T/W the next, and so on. DGD hasn't seemed real interested in getting her drivers license, so we continue to deliver her each morning. She buses home. Talking with DD on way home this AM, we felt the good part was that when she turns 18 in April, she won't have to have & we won't have to pay for driver training. That's $250....I can buy another roll of fence with that!! 
Having worked 9 days in a row, I am taking today to be home. Yeah, work will happen but, more to my liking.
Now I just have to draw a straw to see which "gotta do" will get done. 
Plus there will be laundry and some heavy crockpot cooking. Next week is beyond busy for me and I know if I don't pre-cook I won't eat the way I should. Not good. So this week I will do several heavy meal preps, to eat & to freeze some.
Then, there's that Dorian thing happening -- when, where? At this point, they are saying expect heavy rains and maybe not much more where I am. Storm surge at coast, 50 miles out, so not here. If rains are really heavy & long, we do get an amount of flooding near the rivers and some roads are often closed in spots. Again, not my farm. Winds are an issue Just have to wait for it & see what happens!
late this AM...reschedule me!
Everyone have a great, great day!!!!

Those kind of temps I can do without. We have been in the low 90's for a couple of days but it's supposed to be low 80's for the next few days.

We are cooling down.
No more 60s... 50s now and the world is coloring up.

Coffee is on.
Temps are a lovely mid 70s.... my favorite time of the year is September. Cool mornings and warmer afternoons but perfect weather for jeans and maybe a sweatshirt in the evenings. Got some rabbits bred last night...

@promiseacres, breeding time....always anticipation. At least with rabbits they can be easily moved from cage to cage.
Here, I am dealing with rut for goats. These bucks
DS says the one "stinks" from far away. Well, I'm apparently nose blind because it isn't THAT bad...you have to be closer. One is a real escape artist and if a doe was cycling, he sure has found her! I have found him in with the herd, more than once. HOW he is getting out? I believe he can fly!! The other, older buck, isn't such a problem. It's an adventure.
This morning we have heavy fog. It's slowly lifting. Very hot into late hours yesterday, 92 high & still 80 at 9PM -- 70 out there now. They say -- Dorian will probably bring rains Thur & Fri, with those winds of tropical force. Not wanting either but, especially the heavy winds.
I did get to cut the yard and one of the lower fields, yesterday. Tall grass was heading and so some free seed. In our area, it will recover well and provide winter graze a little longer...mix of warm & cool weather grasses. This rain will pop it back up fast. Should help with less hay needs. Depends on weather
You guys in FL -- getting rains?? I see there's a system in the Gulf, looks like TX may be wet, too. So far, it's been a light hurricane season, for which I am thankful!
Time for something to eat. Coffee is good, help yourself

Sunny and cool this morning.
Had the horse's teeth floated yesterday, well just Duke. During both John and Jocelyn took their horses for a bareback ride.
They continue to get more independent. Which is awesome but still makes my heart stop at moments. Yesterday afternoon we started a will....want a plan for our kids IF something happened to us. Also getting the paperwork for Power of Attorney and Medical decisions for both of us... Not fun but glad it's in process.
