We got a lot of rain again this week. Total for the month of June we are pretty close to twenty inches of rain. Seven more inches this week over four days, which means not a lot of outside activity. We did catch two more groundhogs over by the barn garden, so the cabbage is still looking pretty strong. The larger plants have started to head up.
By the weekend the rain had held off long enough to mow the yard, and the Dudley twins were ready to get down to the ponds.
We took them down a couple of times before Sunday, but after we mowed the yard we wanted to take a cool dip. Willow jumped right in, Augustus waited to be picked up by Cupcake on an inner tube. While Willow made laps, Gus took a nap. Swimming is for succkas.
While Lawman was stuck inside this week, he took advantage of the down time to try a new cookie recipe. Orange creamcicle cookies.
They rocked.
We moved the new hatched ducks to the coop while it was raining, and the little Hudinies managed to escape Saturday afternoon. They fell in with the next youngest ducks and went up with all the other birds at night. We love it when a plan comes together.
Sunday while we were down by the ponds, we noticed the orange mint has taken off. We are excited about letting it spread.
Wrapping up this weeks update, Willow making laps
We ended the week with porkchops and blackberry cobbler.
