HAPPY MONDAY YALL!!

The boys each got a rawhide chewy yesterday They love em! Bubba has his daddys ol cap on. Silly boy

My mr boopie woopie boo enjoys a good rawhide

Buster being the big brother to them had his finished first so was just chillin on his bed.

Here's a thrift store find an old bakers rack that hubby just tightened up the screws and replaced a couple and VOILA works great in the farmstand!

So today I was gonna start a new job yes another job! LOL just a fill in job in a local restraunt/bread shop in our little town. It is called Salt Of The Earth and they make abosolutely awesome rustic artisan breads of all kinds!! So I knew the gal that opened and she needed someone to help like when someone calls in or they are shortstaffed! HEY at least it is in a kitchen!HUH !! After october when the market closes I figure this will help me bake year round! And next year I am already lookin at hiring a gal to help me bake a few hours a week to get ready for markets mostly. So anyway I am starting at 5 am tomorrow instead. Now as yall know I am an early riser but now I have to get up by 3.30 to get everything done before I have to leave! that is a bit early isnt it? LOL oh well I can do it!!

Gosh we are suppossed to get rain today and the next 3 days after but ya know I am surely NOT complaining at all we have gone the longest stretch this year without rain, almost 17 days!! it did rain a bit this am but now it is just kind of muggy and the air is thick. I am really counting on havin an indian summer and a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG beautiful fall to enjoy those leaves a bit more!!

Hope yall have a great monday and will let ya know how the job works tomorrow!!

HUGS!

It was a glorious farm day today!! in the mid 70's and just perfect pickin weather!! i worked at the flower shop helpin my mom make some funeral arrangements this am then came home and worked on the farm. I had to weed some of the beans, those dang ol weeds grow no matter what the weather is!! Hope yall had a sweet, safe and fun holiday weekend!! sad to see it over already!! summer just flies by as we stay so busy that I just want to take a day that hubby and I can do something special together and if we can with the boys that would be perfect!! of cource it gets so hot they are better off stayin at home in the AC!! Well Mr. Bubba is in the warm waterbed whatever the temp is!! crazy boy!!

A pic of a couple of our black raspberry bushes near the farmstand.


These bushes are just full of goodies to ripen!!

Well the "angry girls" were much happier today, they are all out and diggin and scratchin all over the farm. I kept them closed up friday and sat as there were a few hawks flyin around and yesterday they WERE MAD at me!! so i figured since we stayed at home ALL day they should be safe with us here and there. BUT boy when i went in the coop sunday am to do chores they were ANGRY!! they stretched their little necks up to see out the screen door and literally were "squackin me out" everyone was all in a tizzy!! I got brutally attacked when i reached over to pull their door open, one jumped on my back and scratched my neck, one reached from the crate she was sittin on and pecked at my cheek and mamma clara got my hand and arm when i reached in crate to feed her and her 2 little babes!! She went all "kung fo chicken" on my arm and even broke the skin thru my pink work gloves!! so there are bruises all over me!! I got the snot kicked right on out of me this weekend!! CRAZY!!
