Ok, you have me interested - where and when is the Farm Market? Maybe DH and I can make a day of it, since we missed the dandelion festival.

It's in Mt. Gilead. Here's their website with the address and other info.

(They've changed the times to 9am-12pm though)


eta: The Mt. Gilead State Park is just down the street so you could visit there as well.

Got a lot of work done on the new turkey coop today but it's still got a ways to go.

I almost dropped from heat exhaustion though. My head just now stopped pounding and we stopped work around 5pm. DH was worried, but a cool shower, some painkillers, food and ice cream and I'm doing a lot better. The temps outside are just plain ridiculous though!

Glad to hear that you are okay. Stay hydrated!

I am so MAD right now!

We got alot of work done today because my brother took the boys to a party giving us the freedom to work without them underfoot.

I just got a call from brother asking if he could keep the boys for the night and take them camping. K got on the phone then and told me about their day. Apparently K wandered off and had to find a police officer to help him get back to brother and his GF AND he accepted candy from a stranger while he waited!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know where they're at right now because brother got mad and wouldn't tell me because my DH started yelling when he realized what K was saying to me and if brother doesn't bring them home VERY soon then he'll have the police looking for him!

x2. I hope they return home soon. Never a dull moment on Honaker Farm, huh Em?

I hope everything is ok, Em.

Geesh, the things a brother does.

Both boys are safe in their beds right now. Thank goodness. I'm sorry but just because I was told that K was found and he was safe there was no believing it until I could see him and hold him myself and know that he was at home where he belonged.

Brother got an earful from both myself and my mom. I sent DH outside or he would have hit brother. Brother took no responsibility for what happened, which wasn't a big surprise.

They went to the party and then instead of coming home they went swimming...without asking me first. They were supposed to be home at 5pm...didn't get a call from brother until 8pm. K drifted off while swimming and no one noticed for a while apparently. When K got out of the water he was very scared as "there were a lot of people and I {he} couldn't find --- and ---" He wandered around trying to find them and got more and more scared until he saw the concession stand and went there. The worker there gave him M&Ms to calm him down and called the park ranger. My 9 year old nephew who was with them had called 9-1-1 so when the ranger arrived he was with a sheriff deputy as they were out looking for him already. The whole story makes it obvious that he was missing a while. No one called us to let us know what had happened...I wouldn't have known if K hadn't asked to talk to me when brother called to ask if he could take them camping. Brother wasn't going to tell us.

B was really upset because brother told him that he wasn't going camping because K was bad. Oooohhh, I am so mad!

I had to have 2 separate very important conversations with the boys after I was done ripping brother up one side and down the other. I'm still not sure he understands why we're so upset.

bad enough to lose a kid......but around water?

You would have had to send me outside with your hubby!

I'm so glad that they are ok.
