You have a very nice place Cane.

I have a question about that tubular reddish bloom in your first picture -
what is it?
Did you plant the goldenrod or is it wild?

And Carter has gotten so big!

:) Thanks.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what that orange flower is. It's TINY, on a vine with large heart-shaped leaves.

Everything but the crepe myrtle were just 'weeds'. The goldenrod is running wild along my driveway.
And, yes, Carter is getting HUGE!!! He was 9 months old last Saturday. I was trying to get a picture of Eva's face but all she wanted to do was lick the camera... and then he decided that he wanted to test and see if I was scared of his "I'm a big bull" act.. which made me throw up my arms and yell "NO!" .. which made the 'big bull' fall down getting away from me. :lol: .. big goober.

Smiles~son a ma gun``` Thought you'd gone on an international spy mission or some such```

Bout time you showed your mug```Good to see~

Been a very busy summer for us here on the homestead. A while back I got run over by a 650 pound round bail of hay and totally messed up my hip, leg and spine. After two operations and fiftyseven gazllion hours of rehab I'm getting around a bit better these days. I got involved in a local Farm Co-op here in rural Indiana and now I keep track of scheduling equipment use and maintenance scheduling as well. It's a desk job while I'm in the office and I get to go to farms all over the place to inspect equipment to schedule maintenance. It's a good job for me but during planting and harvest seasons nobody is happy. Oh well.

I still do all of the homeplace farming here at our farm. 22 cows, 40 +/- pigs, goats, rabbits, chickens and ducks. We also have a big garden, an orchard, and grape vines. We try to do the organic thing but, I'll tell you, it's almost impossible in the garden, orchard and grapes. I don't know how the certified organic people do it. Bugs, disease, and blight control is a full-time job.
