Looks like she tripped over George's tail and then fell asleep! Couldn't be better protected than that.

Just a quick update. Noting much going on here, just same old same old.
It's now almost 2 months after DH's foot surgery. He can now put a little weight on his foot and is doing PT. He's been helping with making dinner and he's helped mowed the lawn and he can now drive so that's a tremendous help!
I need to process more tomatoes again this weekend. Picked some more a couple of days ago but didn't have time to do anything with them yet. I made a batch of sauce last weekend and canned those. I got 2 32oz jars, 3 16oz jars and 1 8oz jar from that batch of sauce(and some for dinner that night).
The chicks are now 1 1/2 week old and are getting big. I'm thinking by end of September I'll move them out to the bunny hutch in coop. That way they can all start to get accustom to the lone hen and vice versa. I cleaned out the chicken coop last weekend.
Gonna dig out the
this evening. We're going to cook some hotdogs and hamburgers and have a fire outside tonight. So we can make some mountain pies. It's been awhile since we last made those. Come to think of it DS has never had those, so it's time to introduce him. 
I wonder why they are called "mountain pies"?

They are eyeing those round bales of hay on the trailer you're pulling...And some pics of the cattle. Took them when I went to fill the trough.
Upon my ultimate demise, I will leave (will) my fence stretching equipment to you.

I think it depends on where they are used for cooking. When I was young we called them Hobo Pies but I'm not sure of the reason they were called that.

They have a bale of all-you-can-eat hay inside the fence but like anything else the grass/hay is greener/better on the other side of the fence.
And that's so very kind of you GB!
We'll do better when we have money to fence in another section (less for us to mow).

Glad the DH's foot is coming along and know he is glad, too.....not sure about the pie thang, haven't heard of either mountain or hobo....just depends on what's in it.....

Most people are too young nowadays to have even seen a real hobo and I doubt those that make and sell those irons ever did either.

I'm trying to enjoy your fire there, but with feeling close to 100 outside it is difficult to imagine the cool that ya have to go along with it.....just makes me anxious for those temps to get here too....

I'm with you on that @CntryBoy777 LOL LOL When we have sweat rolling off, a fire just looks like an implement of torture. 
But a good fire when it is chilly sure is nice.
What's a mountain pie?
I've been quartering and socking the tomatoes in freezer bags until I get enough to can. Got 7 or 8 bags now, time to make tomato sauce! Nothing like home made lamb chili! Yum!
@Donna R. Raybon that picture of your LGD and baby piglet is so darn cute. My husband was watching TV through his eyelids, but I had to wake him up to see that picture.
