Garden update, farrier comes to visit and old fashion bonfire and sing-a-long

Well, here it is Friday.  It began rough with the pumphouse  leaking running water out from under it. We knew the awesome water pressure in the house was too good to be true.  Dude went on hunch it was the switch and replaced it.  His hunch was good and after many cuss words, he had the water back up and running .

I went to work in the greenhouse after chores. 

Broccoli 



Peppers 


Onions


Beets


Looks like tomatoes but it's okra. 


See? Here's a pod. 


Plants outside are growing but our soil (even after 2 years of working with it) is no good. 
We have vowed next year to have raised beds outside like we have in the greenhouse. 



The farriers came to work on the horses hooves and asked.... How far along is your horse?  HUH??  Yep, looks likes she about 4 months pregnant.  What the heck?  We got her about 3 months ago. Since we don't know definitely, we will be calling the vet to confirm sometime soon. 


After work we headed to the John Denver Fest just down the road from us. Tonight was the bonfire for everyone travelling in.  Tomorrow is the all day music beginning at 2pm with a flyover at 130pm from our town's finest.... the crop duster.  Smile.  This is the country life.


I guess this fest has been going on for three years and it is just down the dirt road from us. 

Let's get this party started.



People came from all over... we met people from Chicago, Australia, and all over Colorado. Everyone was welcome and it was all free. We drove up and many people had campers and tents all set up .


We brought my mom from the city to come and enjoy a bit of our country life.  


Everyone sang. There were folk songs from John Denver, Peter, Paul and Mary, Gordon Lightfoot and so many more.  The fire felt good since the temps were only in the 60* today.







Everyone shared sausages, pepper cheese, and marshmallows. Foiled potatoes and corn on the cob were thrown on the fire. 


I can't wait for tomorrow for more music. 

peace
