Yep, it has literally been tooo hot out side to really enjoy nature. Seriously, it is almost 7 pm right now and still 109 outside. One item we have enjoyed is a horse that was brought onto the farm.
Yeah, isn’t he purty? We think so too, and since we are helping care for him while he is here, we are turning our mare in with him. In hopes of a little one in about eleven months.
About three months or so ago, our five year old asked her older brother to catch her a salamander. We weren’t sure why, until later that day, she wanted to feed it to our mare. Yeah, feed the mare a salamander so she will have a baby. Not going to ask her how a baby gets in my tummy. 
Our oldest was at camp all last week. He saw lots of wildlife, and had a lot of nature to talk about. He saw snakes, bugs, spiders, and numerous plants. They were in a heavily wooded area, so he was able to really learn what poison ivy looks like. Now he has strep. Camp seems to have run him down a bit.
One of our baby squirrels died yesterday, I am not sure why. The other one seems to be doing quite well. We can now see obvious eye slits, and his skin is getting darker.
I’m having a hard time getting my link to post to the Linky. Something about the image. I’ll try again in the morning.
God’s Blessings
