Since the pond is almost dry, Junior has the idea that he can dig a hole behind it, in the hollow that leads to it, drain the little water into his new hole, then clean out the pond. I am afraid it will not work as intended and may even ruin the pond, but I decided I am never going to have more livestock than I can water out of a tub, so whatever. Anyway, he has a big hole dug and has moved a lot of dirt with some help from George.
If you look close, you can just see the roll bars of the tractor behind the goat. This is the hole he intends to drain the water into. Besides, by the time he gets around to actually digging the trench to drain the water, it will probably start raining a fill both the pond and the hole. The boys are watching the dig, and the girls are playing king on the mountain, or something.
He dug up t his old bottle. It is about 6 inches tall. He thinks it is Helen's message in a bottle, but the message is missing. It only has a mark on the bottom that says 50 and some letters, no name or company ID.
All the kids, including Emmy's 3 neighbor cousins slept in a tent in our yard last night. My little kids loved it, Emmy enjoyed it because she got to be big boss as no adults were our there. Well, Junior was a few feet away on the deck until after 11, but anyway, she enjoyed being the 'big kid', in her words. I am a bit tired, but go back to work tomorrow to rest.
