It's hot here too and the cattle comes in the barn when it hot outside. One section of my calf barn is hotter and I notice that the heat affects them too. I make sure they have lots of water.<br /><br />The old folks sure were tough to work the field and cook on the hot stoves and ovens even on very hot days and the lucky one had summer kitchens. <br /><br />Take care, hugs.<br /><br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-41334778219768648502012-07-14T16:08:35.196-07:002012-07-14T16:08:35.196-07:00Kim

No air conditioning nor pool at Dog Trot Farm, this is when I miss my Island life! Your sunflowers are growing wonderfully, I think of you floating in your swimming pool with all your grands, life can't get any better than that!

I felt the same when I was growing up and visiting my grandparents home, and what is so amazing is I still get that feeling here on the farm.

The UK mainland has had lots and lots of rain, with terrible flooding in England, Wales and Scotland. Very unusual for us to have it dry and them to have such rain!<br /><br />I love the childhood memories. We are blessed if we can think of our childhoods with 'happy thoughts'. I can, and I'm thankful for that :)Homeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-13658605523737383592012-07-14T11:07:23.140-07:002012-07-14T11:07:23.140-07:00Love this post... and your remembrances!Love this post... and your remembrances!Mary Annhttp://www.calamityacres.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-19023212587135195972012-07-14T09:42:52.059-07:002012-07-14T09:42:52.059-07:00Such a lovely memory!

We didn't have AC either but I had a window fan--city girl here- that lulled me to sleep. To this day I have a fan on- though it's mostly for the noise...and the memories.
