Another beautiful day but a cool down is on the way. We checked on Mercy and her new calf, Mavis, this morning and both seem to be doing okay. Mavis is already jumping around trying to play a bit with the other calves. She is all black except for a tiny bit of white on her neck. The fencing must be working, there were no goats out this morning.

Donny and Dusty spread fertilizer on the hay fields and pastures today. They also reseeded where it was needed. I finished mowing the grass. Everything is beginning to take shape. I planted the raspberries in the garden. Last year the goats got in the garden and took care of all the raspberries. I moved them this year closer to the house so maybe they will leave them alone.

Dusty rode his horse and took her around the barrels several times before dark. She looks like she is ready for the next race.

Everybody got in the house a little after dark and will make it an early night.
