with this hot weather there have been fire bans put on in a lot of areas. Today we have had our first fire in the local area for this summer. No live stock lost only a few fences and grass. The weather for the next few days will be worse, 35 degrees and hot winds expected. But Christmas day is supposed to be only 26 degrees. Chris is back but we haven't taken him to a fire as yet, he did some hay carting today so ask him about his blisters and hayfever.

Geoff we have been down to pickup our turkey it only took 6 hours to drive down and six hours back and all is well, our friends grow these turkeys and we know they are hormone and antibiotic free. All that happens now is that it has to be cooked.
