Today we hosted the 4H meeting. We had it in the barn and it was hot. Very hot. We got a lot done though. This is our last official meeting before fair, so we had a bunch to cover (see how great the camper fits in the barn). Our 4H leaders are a great couple that we enjoy a lot.
A picture of the outside of the barn. This is the east side. Yep, our yard on this side is completely destroyed. That is to be fixed this fall.
The front/side. I love our porch.
Our sweet little twins. Really, these little girls are just precious (as far as animals go). They come right up to you in the field, even Goofy, who was super skiddish when she first came here. Sparky is in the front of the picture and she had a longer snout and darker ears/nose. Goofy is in the back of the pic.
This years garden finally totally weeded for the the first time. Whew! The first row in this pic is the kids' row (cherry tomatoes, watermelons, pie pumkins and cucumber). There are also some cabbage in there (not the kids'). The next row is green beans, the closest row is beets and onion, but the onions are doing aweful. I will not be doing those again. This will be year 2 for failed onions. Two strikes and your out around here.
The first tomatoes turning.
My cukes. I am loving the trellis.
The whole garden.
Samson, Logan's fair beef feeder.
Poor Patriot wishing he was out.
Now he is happy.
Leah's fair silkies.
The white chicken in this pic is one of the Delewares we hatched here. Unfortunately, it appears to be a rooster.
Well, that's all I got for now. The next few weeks will be pretty busy. 4H skillathons and judgings are all next week. The week after that we will be getting the fair booth ready and the animals to the fair. The week after that is the fair. I think we are pretty ready though and hopefully things will go without a hitch.
