2 hard days off, mud wins

My brother and his 3 boys are visiting the farm, etc. He and I dug plumbing on day 1 and cleared head high thicker brush in day 2. Eating ice cream on the square was a relief.

Horseshoes and dinner, parallel conversations... 

Competing phones, games.

Today i have a rare opportunity to impress the twins. Food, movie, music. In the end it was sandwiches with my son, errands, feeding dogs. And regenerating a hogs' mud pit.

Twins wanted to feed dogs. Letting the water overflow the river starte, islands, pushing water and walls. No phones. Transfixed work, choice, creation and never looking to stop. Just thoughts sloshing in the sun and dogs in the shade.

10 little puppies

They are a sweet pile of fluff. Sometimes 2 piles. And they whine and mini "ruff" when they want momma. Bianca has been great, up most of the night keeping away monsters, and feeding pups...

She's still a wary judge of strangers and patient with our other dogs.
