Coffee anyone ?

Morning going to be cleaning house today. Its raining again. Dh is off this weekend and wants to work on building a couple of chicken coops. The one he already built doesnt make the egg layers happy so he building them one similar to their older one just bigger. And this other coop we have built will work just dandy for the meat birds. Also need to decided how many chickens we are keeping. Current number of adults is something like 25ish then our girls hatched out eight chicks (there are some rooster out of them but mostly hens) and we now also have 19 buff Orpington chicks(straight run) and dh's favorite 9 deleware (pullets) chicks. Thats not ibcluding the 20 meat birds cause the be in freezer. So just need to decide if i am gonna sell some hens or process some. Some are 6+ years old and some are a year old. Also need to decide on how many ducks out of the ducklings we are keeping. I dont normally even deal with an egg shortage even in winter they are all good layers and keep laying all year. Maybe just have him build me two coops lol plus a duck coop lol. Need to get some more secyion in garden weeded have some seeds coming in for fall planting so excited as if i need more lol.

Spraying little granddaughters with water, making mud. Having fun!

You should be here to spray me. Sooooo humid out there. Hot. You can feel the sweat coming out of your pores. It can't evaporate! Made sure all animals were taken care of -- plenty of water, shade, grass, etc. Back inside to change sweat wet clothes, shower and sit. It exhausts you in this weather! Survival is all that's happening out there for a while.

Just mowed the yard a couple days ago....needs it again! Not happening today. . I'm guessing the pastures I cut are growing this well, too. Didn't walk way back to check as I wasn't sure I could CRAWL BACK.

Rain expected all day here in Rusk TX but not a drop. Stayed very cool and pleasant though - didn't even use the A/C in the trailer.

Surprisingly overcast at get up. Looks like it could rain at any time. That wasn't in forcast. But I'm thrilled with only 72 temps! It's to clear and be mid 90s...again.

This morning saw pics of the drought cracked lakes out in CA. WOW. The west coast is highly populated in many areas...it's serious! No water. Wells drying up, too. Then, pics of rain created floods in CT. Just shamefully weird. We can't get enough drivers to deliver gas and they sure need to be hauling water, too.

A lot of our fruit and veggies won't be coming outa there this year. Groceries $$ up
