CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

[Mike CHS]

I quit griping about our 90 degree temps when I saw what the temps were getting to out west but it sure has been pleasant the last few days.

Hey, if you could reverse that 69 and send it here I would even by happy with that. 107° + is getting old.

If I thought it would actually make it to there, I would certainly box some up and ship it to ya....I have no qualms about sharing it with ya at all.....
I bet by now ya feel like a french fry having to deal with it day after day.....

My ideal range is 50°-80°......I don't much care for below 40....I don't mind a few crisp mornings, but prefer to wear nothing heavier than a flannel shirt..........below 60 and the wasp get pretty scarce, but the yellow-jackets sure make their presence known.

@Farmer Connie they grow wild here and we have temps in the winter that get into the single digits, so I don't think the freeze there would have killed it. The vine dies back every year and it comes back from the roots or seed each year. They are very pretty and one of my favorites to see.....

Plus was a where that stuff was growing is my dogs competitive pee spot! So it wasn't exactly thriving but a beautiful site.
Recently they pee-ed to death my young lime trees I planted last year. The last 2 they didn't lift their legs on my hub put rod posts and hot wires around them! I love my dogs but if 1 goes pee the other covers it then the first comes back and I think you get the picture. Hub freaked one day when they gang tagged his pineapples! I could see the veins in his forehead 100 ft away.

Poor babs. Have I mentioned that one of the reasons I left So. Cal nearly 40 years ago was the heat? The other reason was the overpopulation (which has only gotten WAY worse since then).

I am not a "climate change" fanatic but the last two years have been brutal. I think we have had one day with a high below 100 in the last 3 weeks. Last week saw a high of 117°. I like warm weather but this is getting old.

Give me a few months and I will be whining about the high of 40. Can't win I guess. It should always be May and Oct.

The overpopulation doesn't bother me too much up here, but the criminal element to our population is getting tough to swallow.

That had to be a huge change, So. Cal. to Vermont. But from what I know only from reading, movies, and tv, I would gladly take trees, snow, and syrup.

The ducks have been molting and getting in their new feathers.....they are going from a light phase to a dark phase, they are a couple that are a bit behind....but you can see the contrast and the areas that have already replaced the old feathers...... ....the one in the middle is the drake.....he has lost his curly or "Sex Feathers" and still have some on his wings to shed. They are getting as dark as the Rouens.
@Farmer Connie , I finally remembered to get ya a pic of the billing they do in ground with standing water on it....this isn't as bad as it appears, because we use the hay and they weave the hay into the clay and make soil...........View attachment 37470

Ducks go out to play in the rain and chickens run in the coop to get out of the rain.
