HOT MOWING DAY AND BONUS RABBIT

GOOD FOOD AND HOBART SUNDAY
Here we are, another week has flown by. I went to the farm yesterday and mowed, it was hot. Not much progress on the house but Tuesday, you all will get to see the painted exterior so watch for that!!
Root beer floats! Nothing more American than that, ha. And before you think "but that's not healthy", this is an almost fat free vanilla ice cream and the root beer is from Poppi! It was SO good and healthy!

A PILE OF DIRT
After they did the foundation, and then graded out all the dirt around it away from the slab, they had a lot left over. They asked where we wanted it, we asked if they hauled it off? Nope, we paid for it, it's ours...

SURPRISE A MAJOR HOUSE TEASER
OK, they aren't entirely finished and the roof is being completed but we know y'all need a big update. And this is a pretty big one. They still have to paint some more things on the front of the house but we can't resist sharing a tease of the house colors:

FARM TRUCK GETS A NEW BATTERY
Well, we had to break down and get a new battery for the farm truck.
Back in March, when I went to start it so I could move it to mow, it was dead. The very hard Winter temps the last couple of years with it being parked outside and not driven weekly at times, finally killed the battery. The portable jump starter worked great, as it always does, but I had to use it every single time and that just become too much of a hassle. Not to mention if I drove the truck somewhere, I was afraid to turn it off.
Time for a new battery.
It took a few special tools (thanks Dad!) but I got the old one out. Remember, disconnect negative (black) first and positive (red) second. I cleaned out the battery box and then I used this cool gadget that I got recently:

GOOD FOOD AND HOBART SUNDAY
It's been a weird weekend of weather. Monsoon rain, then sunny, the rain and wind, then sunny.

IT WAS A HOT DAY ON THE ZEN MACHINE
First off, we have apples! There are about six on our Dorsett Golden apple tree. They are a bit small but the tree itself is still smallish and add in the fact that I wasn't able to regularly water this Spring.

GOOD FOOD AND HOBART SUNDAY
How do the weeks fly by so fast? Here we are, back to Sunday again. Yesterday was a good day. More updates this week. Now it's time for some good food and some Hobart.
We stopped at a market on the way back from the farm last weekend and picked up some chicken leg quarters that are literally split in half through the bone.
We picked up some onions and poblanos as well. These look like larger spring onions but they are actually a special variety called knob onions or also known as Mexican spring onions. We sautéed it all together.
...and added corn tortillas, Mexican brown rice and black beans with turkey bacon and cilantro.
It was SO good.
Hobart spent the day sleeping, covered up under his favorite blanket (but head has to stick out). Because...
