Saturday on the Farm

Saturday on the Farm

Another hot week in Kentucky. Temps in the upper 90’s and a heat index above 100 a couple of days. We had heat advisories this week. I had 2 kids at horse camp this week.Thankfully their instructor watched them carefully and kept them hydrated.

I remembered to take pictures of the tomatoes before we ate them.

We harvested the first yellow squash of the year. We even got twins! We cooked the first ones over the fire, so good!

We also had ALL the goats escape this week. Here they are in the field where they are not supposed to be.

My son on a crutch trying to herd them back to their field. Yeah, they pretty much didn’t care. They were to busy eating. You know, the exact same grass that is in THEIR field! They also found the comfrey in the garden and had a nice snack.

My husband got a bucket of feed and they came running for that.

Finally, back inside! On the right hand side of this picture, you can see the metal post for the gate. It’s a chain link fence gate. See the latch?

This is the second time we have found the gate open, and the goats out. Now I’m wondering, are the goats opening the gate? I know it wasn’t the children. And I know it wasn’t someone wondering in off the street. See this dog?

He’s chained up outside the fence and barn. Someone would have to get through him to open the gate. AND the goats have to get by him to get out of the gate. He didn’t bark and let anyone know the goats were getting out. My son was in the driveway so he would have heard it. I had a nice little chat with the dog, Shadow, about letting the goats out and not telling anyone they were out.  Do you see his tongue sticking out? I think he was giving me a raspberry!

Interesting week with the animals, to say the least! lol

I put the flower pictures in another post. It works better to split the pictures up, instead of one super long post.

Ok, it’s time for the Saturday on the Farm Carnival!

  1. I'm finally joining in for your Saturday fun.

    Already the middle of July, hard to believe!

  2. Good thing the goats know to come when they see the bucket. Usually our sheep know to do the same, but there have been a couple of times where it didn't work and I still ended up chasing them. Hope you have a great weekend!

  3. Your farm looks wonderful, and so pleased your husband knows how to get his goats back.

    Would love you to join me at We Can Wednesday my new meme beginning this Wednesday.

  4. Those goats are crazy! The squash look delicious!
    Thanks for linking up!
