The dream that doesn't come true

left with fuzzy photographs and fading memories.

To back track two weeks or even a month

meeting bliss with the touch of your tongue

Now I hear silence, words unsung.

The Full Buck Moon

Tonight is the Full Buck Moon.

Going on day 5 of no power I welcome the extra light at night.

Full moon equals less candle usage.

Excited to start seeing antlers growing!

Day 4

No power. No lights, running water, or AC in 100 degree temps.

The dogs and I are hanging in there, the chickens are fine, and the poor pigs have dirty water. Tonight ill haul up buckets full of fresh water from the stream. There's just one giant hill between the barn and stream. I'll be going uphill with the full buckets. I'm sweating thinking about it.

The pork defrosting in my freezer is now safely very frozen at a friends. 

Now to put ice I luckily grabbed while 7-11 was restocking out for the pigs, that'll tide them over and cool them down.

Heat WAVE

100 degrees, feels like 110.

went home over lunch and sprayed down a portion of the pig pen where they have rooted in the cool dirt.

pigs need access to shade due to their light skin color, else they burn.

they also need ample space to wallow to keep cool as pigs don't sweat like people do.

fresh cool water is a must.

keep water in the shade.

oy, i think its time for a piglet baby pool.

Pee by candlelight

Dance in the shadows

randoms

a windy summer day

clothes on the line flap like flags in the wind.

my hair whisps in every direction.

the humidity is gone, the breeze is alive and well.

today is a beautiful day!

i'm looking forward to the following...

1. quick run to tractor supply to grab a bale of straw (to be stuffed in the trunk of the corolla) and a bag of pig feed (which will sit like a passed out sack of potatoes in the front seat of the car).

2.  let dogs out...check up on chickens. 
3. give hens fresh cold water.
4. PIGLETS PIGLETS PIGLETS!!!!

i'll let the piglets out in the field to run, play and root...what a site this will be.

its been awhile since i've had younger pigs and i'm excited to have these two at home.

hello evenings outside with the pigs, oh how i've missed you.
