Chickens were iced again. Did you know that although they eat the ice to cool off, they also pick some up and put it under their feathers? Mine do anyway. Just an FYI for those undergoing the same heat as we are, and raise chickens. When we had goats, we froze water in small bottles and added them to their water buckets.
Nothing really "homesteady" to share today. Youngest Daughter ditched me for another sister and is spending a few nights with her, so I'm unsupervised for a few days.
Bought myself this. . .
I sure hope I take the time to read it now, lol!
I have yet to deliver roosters to those taking them, but they are crowing now.
Thanks to being stuck inside with the AC this week, I have new projects on the handiwork to-do list. They will be fun too. I'll update as I finish them.
Dinner was once again salad and fresh cold fruit. Too hot to cook a darn thing, and with the heat this bad, we all have non-zippity do-dah appetities.
here too, ridiculously hot and ugly humid. Lots of rain again yesterday, flooding the streets of citified Dodge, people were kayaking in their street. Another scorcher today, but "they" say a cool front is coming..this is the time of year when I start looking forward to fall, they already have the fall stuff out....at the craft stores...
ReplyDeleteFaith, it's been so hot this week. Plus the rain. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteI will send you some of our cool weather...lol! Thanks for the tip regarding the ice for the chickens. Worth remembering if indeed we ever get any decent weather.
