We hit 95 degrees again today here but we almost always have a good bit of wind which lightens it up a bit.

We've been having spotty showers, if we don't get the rain, we get the cooling breeze. Temps are in the high 80's.

No chance of rain the next few days and sadly not much for breeze either. Though somehow there is often a slight breeze blowing between the barns and if I open both the north and south doors down below, a slight breeze through there as well. I think DW said the pool was 82° today.
Checked in on the barn swallows, I'm guessing they will fledge in the next day or two.
Since there won't be much wind maybe I should burn the stuff in the pit. I'm considering hauling the old chicken wire and wood fence from the heap where I dropped it over to the pit as well. It would take hours to pull all the staples out of the posts and other "supporting" wood. If I burn the wood I can just scrunch up the remaining chicken wire into a smaller heap and add it to the scrap metal pile. Gotta get rid of that soon.

I'm not likely to drive into the burn pit, it is ringed with rockYa gonna run a magnet thru the area ya burn it in, for the staples?.....would hate for ya to damage a tire running over them.....
Though after it is burned I guess I could get the wheeled bar magnet thing out and run it through the ashes. It would be best to not have them in there in case I decide to use some ash in the compost bins or garden. These aren't fence staples they are inch or so long thin staples. The guy used a ton of them to attach the chicken wire to the wood.

Only 3 up last night, I had to "ask" Vienna to move over a bit so the 3rd very determined chick had room. Of course that elicited a fair bit of rearranging of the older girls.
For some reason the stupid alpacas have decided they should poop inside at night. Which makes no sense since I know they go outside, heard Teddy alerting on something again last night.
