Me--mother nature
That one really popped up quick didn't it?
Your wet misfortune is my luck.
Glad it went East and didn't trek West across the Gulf and strengthen.

NOT EVEN ONE DROP OF RAIN!Waiting on the "Tell"....
The wind picked up and made chores get done without the sticky humidity.
It crossed south of us. For once we won one.

It would of picked up a punch if it shot your way! It broke up over land but there was a bunch of warm water between you and I. That water is like steroids for trop storms!

I found this little gem on my phone earlier today and put on YewToob. Our Berkshire sow snoring 1/2 way thru a delivery!
Poor girl had 1 or side to go.
We should call our farm.. The Lazy Sow Farm!

The new egg factory
This was a greenhouse falling apart across the street in our neighbor's property. The poor fellow was dying of cancer and my hub would go over once a week to mow, weed and clear branches for the retired couple for free, just being good neighbors. Before Mike died, he came out one day and offered the old greenhouse to my hub. Mike passed away shorty after.
Hub stripped it apart and rebuilt it on our property. It had a flat roof prior so my hub built rafters and trusses and got the new roof peaked for better drainage. A bunch of the studs had to be replaced. He beefed it up alot better than the original but basically the size.
Those nesting boxes are temporary until the wall unit is completed. All material is purchased from chicken and egg sales so we are slowly finishing it. Bit by bit. The ends at the top are old Cyprus privacy fence boards, hub reuses everything!
Hubby is going to route out a plaque when it is done and dedicate the structure in mikes name.
He made my ladies an easy open hatch on the far end of the house to let them range at free will. Used some sheet metal for the hatch door operated with a homemade crank left over from the pasture hotwire project, slipped over a pc of rebar. Ran a clothesline rope with pulleys to the door down yonder.
He doesn't throw things away. He horders and gets ideas how to use pcs of his trash pile he calls usefull items!
I crank the door open at 6am and lower it by 8pm or so.
I am not allowed to take pics of the nesting box unit until its done. He is a perfectionist and he proboly rip it all down for minor improvements anyway.
Can't find any pics of the run
I put some up later. A good size anyway.
To be continued.....

I couldn't figure out why the dogs water was always so dirty. I would dump it, fill it, dump it... Is his mouth full of dirt?
OMG... Really? I give up..
