Grandchildren,broken arms and sheep

It has been a busy few weeks and we have attempted to post numerous times. We see a squirrel and oops another day is gone.
I am sure you are wondering about the title of this post. We have had 2 of our grandchildren here to visit.Zoe and Jude. They have had a wonderful time and ill be back to visit us more in a week or two. Unfortunately Zoe who is our dare devil was jumping on the large round bales missed and broke her arm near her wrist.So we have been back and forth to hospital for check ups  and such.Poor little bugger was so very brave and now has a well autographed cast to show off.
It has been unbelievably hot and humid here , and I have been paying special attention to our crops.Our newspaper with cut grass on top around the plants has worked very well to keep moisture levels up . Our plants seem to be doing wonderfully. A nursery I frequent gave me free about 30 more tomato plants and that many onion sets so wow we are going to be busy canning ..
We have bought 2 beautiful sheep and they are adjusting very well, we also bought more ducks and heritage chickens. Very lovely stock .If anyone wishes to come and visit us to see our growing brood please feel free. Some of the ducks are called runners, Ken describes them as teenagers in a mall. If one turns one way so do all of the rest,and they hardly stop moving. These ducks are standing rather than waddling. Very fun to watch, SO now we have chicken and duck tv here at the farm.I must run as I am heading to see the grandchildren and heading to Toronto tomorrow. I am not looking forward to the trip at all. We live a quiet life here , everything smells like it should , there is beauty to look at . Toronto represents at least for me noise,heavy air,smells that are not natural and noise...I absolutely hate the noise. Oh and the harsh lights. We live with the gentle light of candles.I find anything else hard on my eyes . Oh well our trip into the city is for a christening and a birthday. So we will survive and soon be home to our lovely home. Until next time stay cool and hydrated.
