Our neighbors have been kind enough to allow our 15 steers to graze in their empty pasture this week.  It's been a real blessing.  Since they haven't had any animals out there, there is still grass to be found and that saves us from adding hay to their diet.  Hopefully, we will get some rain from the hurricane remnant. 

This morning I grained the steers, filled their waterers then I started cleaning out the area where the turkeys were.  Next Thursday our 15 meat chicks will arrive and will need to be in that area.  I am using the wheelbarrow to take the turkey manure/straw mixture up to the garden area.  Dan will till it in the the beds this fall. 

I covered the big round bales with plastic sheeting to protect it from getting too soaked...if we get any rain.  I watered my potted plants outside and some of the stuggling plants in the ground, too.  I cut some oregano & thyme, bundled them up and hung them with a strip of homespun fabric from the old ladder I placed across the cabinets over the kitchen sink.  Looks great.
