It's Getting Hot in Here

Way back when, BF (Before Farming), I would be complaining on a day like today about the heat, humidity, air quality warnings, etc. However, AF (you know, After Farming), my primary concern is water. It is dry dry dry! The last time we had an inch of rain in one week (which is the bare minimum for farming) was way back to the week of June 8-14th. June, people!
Here's what I happened upon when I visited the farm this afternoon:
























Maisy, also, was wilting in the heat.














But luckily, she learned a very important skill: how to drink water out of the hose!! When Rosa does this, Maisy looks at her like she's lost her mind and the world might end, and quickly backs away from the scene. However, today something clicked, and Maisy realized that drinking water out of the hose is not some kind of medieval torture. Great timing!



















The farmer also busted out the sprinkler and gave the farm a good long soak. We'll see how it looks tomorrow!
