Hi. I’m glad to be connected to other people who have an interest in backyard animals. I am 61 and have Nubian dairy goats, buff Orpington chickens and 2 Great Pyrenees dogs. I have a question right out of the gate and I apologize for jumping from intro to question so quickly but my 4 year...

Staying inside until the sun decides its done being burning hot. Went tsc for seeds and feed also ended up getting 51 chicks and 26 ducklings for a dollar each. Score! And dh was okay with it moohaha. 20ish are cornish, 9 are delewares and and 20ish buff orpingtons. The ducklings are a mixture of rouen, cambells and peckins.

WOW... good for you. I never seem to hit that... but then I score on the half grown sized cornish from the poultry houses so can't complain. But some ducks would be neat. You'll have meat in the freezer !!!YAY

Coffee is ready, another hot humid day!

Thanks Baymule
the weather has gotten better here, mid 70s no rain and less humid. Need to catch up on everything that got neglected during fair. Housework, groceries, weeding in the garden... and rabbit cages are due for cleaning. Fair was a good week. But exhausting.

Morning need to get moving but being lazy. Need to go finishs weeding the garden and planting new seeds i got. Kids are still asleep at them moment. Need to run some errands today as well. Need to decide what i want to get done today cause i doubt it will all get done. So i guess for now i make some hot tea and make a list i probably wont use lol.

I went out early and got chores done. Paris likes to come out from under the porch and walk around with me. Came back to the house to find a copperhead on the porch! Paris saw it the same time I did. She immediately started stalking it. I just happened to have a square shovel leaned up against the outside wall, so I grabbed it. I stabbed the copperhead and dragged the shovel across the floor. Paris was still trying to grab it, snake had its mouth open, striking. Dragging the shovel cut the head part off, so I scooped it up and threw it over the fence. I came back for the rest of it and threw it over the fence too.
Getting dark now, storm coming, we have to go to Tyler. Trip is closed up on the porch.

Had some more showers and rain overnight. Another good shower 6:30-7 a.m. this morning. Will check the rain gauge when I go out. Weather is heading east, @Mini Horses ought to be getting some serious rain today by the looks of it while we will be clearing off.

Got my list for grocery shopping if I get to town today. List of things to do gets longer and I don't seem to be getting much crossed off yet....

Ahhh, yes....the rain is here! Heavy! Disrupting internet with satellite service. It's an all day affair, as predicted. Will help my just mowed fields like I planned. Thanks for being accurate this time weatherperson.

No real plans today. Maybe another cuppa. Just had an English muffin with butter and homemade fig preserves. Helping neighbor Tue I was given free picking of their big fig bush and the huge elderberry stand. In fact, even said I could remove a take home. They don't want to pick either, were planning to remove elder -- too close to house, no idea what it was -- and only cut around the fig. In fall will dig root sections from both. Figs are full and elder is huge! I'm excited. They'll get some fig treats! They like taste, just don't want to mess with picking and processing.

Enjoying a few more days at home. .

Sometimes you need to relax and enjoy a rainy day.

Well got some more lectuce, chard, yellow squadh, zuchini and eggplant planted. Will be planting some more things. But today i am done even through i took a break and cooled off apparently still end up with a headache from the heat. I stayed in the shade mostly but outside chores are done until evening. Now on to errands and inside chores for now gonna finish cooling down. Hoping headache will leave. Took some pictures but this doesnt shoe the whole garden either plus the garden keeps growing in size lol pun intended
