Haying season is about over, at least up here in the dry hills. Down in the valleys where they have a longer irrigation season, they will get at least one more cutting. Our neighbor has sold most of his lambs. He sells most of his beef and some of the lambs to individual customers for their own use. It's certified organic and grass fed. More and more people are wanting their meat without chemicals. We have one of the lambs in our freezer.

Our corn is getting pretty close to being ready to eat. We wait and wait for corn! Deer are picking and ruining tomatoes, biting the tops out of cabbages, and doing other damage.

I've raised a few pigs and agree that they are dumb! I would take a bucket of leftover milk to them and often they would root up under it and spill the whole thing before I could get it poured into their trough. Now that's STUPID!
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
