I think the animals know things we do not. They know about approaching storms, impending earthquakes and when to hunker down because of the cold. I think they know that winter is not on its way for a while, because Mamma duck just hatched 6 little babies, and Mamma Hen, just hatched 12, plus there are three more ducks on nests and two more hens sitting. If it was too cold for these babies, the animals should not be trying to hatch eggs at this time. Last year, for sure, by the end of August I was not aware of any nests still being tended to, but this year, there were seven.
The tomato plants are loaded with green tomatoes just beginning to show a hint of blush and the squash is full of tiny orbs ready to burst into full sized fruits. If only we had enough time, they could fulfill their growing in time.
Judging by the animals, I am thinking we do have another month at least before winter comes and maybe even longer. Years back, there was not even snow until Halloween, so maybe this will be one of those years. I could still get some painting outside done after the sheep and goat feeders are built. Fingers are crossed….
