Farm update

*** Been busy trying to fit into the "farmer wife" shoes, so a farm report is long overdue. 
*** The vegetables in the garden are growing like weeds ... OH WAIT ... maybe that's because the weeds are growing faster than the veggies ... what's with that!  Anyway, soon, very soon we will have MORE zucchini than we ever thought possible.  Send on  the Zucchini recipes please! 
*** New fencing is being put up in anticipation of the girls' BF's (bulls).   Have run into a few snags, but the new fencing should be up before we take off for the deep south in a few weeks.  We went out to pick up cedar posts for the new fencing.  Just a 4 hour trip, but it ended up being longer than 7 hours, thanks to a FLAT trailer tire!  HAHA ... this is the second time we forgot the spare tire at home on a long trip! 
*** We've discussed the front porch for the hundredth time.  The farmer suggested a partial wrap around porch ... I choked a little (( Should I have LET him think it was his idea?  ))  I snorted and asked him "Is that such a great idea that you had to steal it from me"  OR  " Does this mean you were NOT LISTENING when I suggested it ages ago?"  He looked rather sheepishly, but I think he REALLY thinks it was his idea. 
*** The kittens continue to entertain, and BE ENTERTAINED.  What IS IT about an automated litter pan that is should become center stage?  Maybe the dome shaped entry way suggests to the kittens "ARENA" ... it's SHOW TIME!  haha
*** Well, again, I must rise early to help collect the remaining cedar posts.   Guess what?  We have SPARE tire this time!!!!!  :D
