Summer in Ohio

I'm coming to terms with the fact that while living in Ohio, the entire month of July will likely be spent moving from one air conditioned enclosure to another. We've had several weeks of 90 to upper 90 degree weather, with humidity that makes you feel as if you stepped into a sauna. Sitting in Asher's blow up pool gives some respite, and then its the man-eating mosquitos you have to fend off. Yes, July has been hot, sticky and itchy!

Today things cooled down a bit, and Asher and I took advantage by joining our friends Mary & Elyse for a little down home fun at Parky's farm. Earlier in the morning we were reading books together and I realized just how many books we have that mention sheep, chickens, cows, ducks and various other farm animals. So while Asher may be familiar with them on paper, seeing them in person was a whole new ball game for him.

After several minutes of staring at the horse,
Asher decided it was something he liked.And then he decided the horse was hilarious!
