Got some stuff accomplished, although it's sloooow going in this heat / humidity.
A/C put in the bunny barn. Now DH thinks it "needs" to be 68 degrees, I say 80 is plenty cool enough. We don't want them growing / blowing coats right now!
Finished the flower bed makeover....and (hopefully) got it watered in well. They are calling for rain and cooler temps later this week, thank goodness!
The landscape fabric I put over the peppers in one of the raised beds turned to dust (apparently they mean it when they say it must be covered w/ mulch) so I recovered it w/ plastic. Working w/ black plastic on a hot sunny day is NOT FUN.
Went to the cemetary yesterday to trim bushes / plant flowers for DH's day, and took Fiddles w/ us. He had a series of horrible seizures we're blaming on the heat. I started melting ice cubes on him and holding them in his arm pit and he settled down. I hate to see him like that.
DH has to work a few hrs today (watering greens.....no rain in 3 wks makes a golf course look BAD) but then he's coming home and we're going to spend the morning cleaning stalls in the new barn so we can put Chaos in w/ a couple does. I have 2 doelings reserved for November, he'd better hope he's making does and not bucks this year. Also going to move Tiger (black Ob buckling) in w/ the 2 Ob doelings only, taking A Capella (Nub) and Valentine (boer) out of his area. They're more likely to cycle / get bred than the Ob girls are and he's already practicing at just over 2 mos. of age.
Weaning Valentine and the 2 Ob does today, the screaming will be heard for miles.
Fixin' to go out and pull some small weeds coming up in a couple flower beds til he gets here.
Have a great Memorial Day and try to remember to say a few words of thanks to those who've fought for what we have.
