This heat and humidity the past week has been so hard on me. I miss springtime, fall, and winter! The livestock are sick of the miserable weather, too, and spend a lot of time sleeping and panting in their stalls with fans trained on them. They should be out grazing, packing on the pounds for the upcoming winter. Every one of them is underweight for this time of year. I had the large animal vet out this week and all checked out healthy, thank goodness. Doc Schmitt assured me that as soon as the weather breaks, the animals will likely dash out to the pastures and graze, graze, graze.
I've been baking peach tarts and blueberry tarts lately. Found a terrific recipe, and it works well for so many fruits that are coming into season now. I want to plant two peach trees, and asked one of the Clarks for suggestions. I've got a small list of varieties to consider.
I'm sewing a cute dress for Little Woodchuck. Nearly finished, just have to do the hem and buttonholes. Singer sent me a replacement sewing machine for free, and the new one is working so well I can't believe I put up with the old one as long as I did (two years). That machine was such a headache it took all the pleasure out of sewing. I've got two years' worth of sewing projects to catch up on, now that I've got a good, working machine at last.
The county fair is coming up soon. I'm entering four items in the Roundhouse this year. Little Woodchuck is looking forward to the Fair. This year she'll be old enough to ride on the kiddie rides!
