Things here at 2lmzfarms have slowed down a little. Mainly due to the heat and lack of rain. There are no more goat shows for us utnil September. The next barrel race will be August 25 and it will be held at night so maybe it will have cooled off by the time the race starts. I haven't rode any this week for the heat is awful. I have just been feeding , watering, and milking. I have noticed a drop in milk production. I think the heat has a lot to do with it. The garden is dried up. No matter how much water we put on it , it dried up. It's times like these that makes one ask theirselves if farming is the way of life. Then you watch a newborn critter come into this world , or gather eggs, or have fresh milk and you know then that farming is rewarding. ( next time I questions myself, please remind me of this post). I can not imagine what living in a city is like. I'm grateful that I live where if I wanted to run naked in my yard I can without someone seeing me. I have been known to run out to the barn in nearly nothing. Oh, the joys of living in the country. Sure, I have neighbors but they are not that close to me. Living in the country is like living in your own little world. Here in this small town, everyone knows everybody and nearly everyone you meet you are somewhat related to them. Here is the downfall of living in a small town, everyone knows what you are doing, even if you don't.
