sunday evening update
we've had several days in the 90s. i'm LOVING it.
the first really hot day was thursday, and i basked in the warmth. by the second day (friday), i finally let kenny put the air conditioning on (i think it was the kids yelling over the monitor when i put them down for bed on thursday saying, "mommy, i'm sweaty!" a thousand times that did it for me).
we broke out a new wading pool (a frog!), kenny bought a new slip and slide, and by last night, the slip and slide fed into the wading pool. it's rowan and sawyer's new favorite thing to do.
our garden is popping up all over the place. all the beans popped, so far we have an 85% percent corn sproutings, and the other plants haven't burned up in all the heat. when the plants get a little bigger, i'll get a pictrure posted. now it just looks like black mounds and hay (
similar to last year's garden
, minus the chickens and the groundhog troubles, plus a big fence that kenny and my brothers put up last week).
and today, kenny purchased
this book
. are we crazy yet? :)

If you get sheep, I don't think Sadie and Gabe will ever want to leave the next time we visit.

If you do that, you will also need to get some books on making cheese. Some friends of mine in Washington who raise sheep have started their own diary and make the most incredible cheeses.
