I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day. I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day. Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest). We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb. I have not found a way to "opt" out either. If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share. If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha! You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

On the valley floor where I lived before moving I. ‘06 it was often a month of 110-113 degree days with a low of 75 at 5 in the AM. My daughter used frozen liter water bottles to cool her angora rabbit project. The goats did well with increased water consumption. The chickens enjoyed a large chunk of frozen ice twice a day in their waterer. The Pyrenees are dual coated and that creates a cooling as well as a heating system. They also dug large craters to lie in . Also the Nubians joined in.
In over twenty years of raising livestock we rarely lost anything or anyone to heat. And it was always poultry usually a chicken.
Try freezing some kernel corn in water of quart container. They go nuts over it and it helps to cool them as it takes awhile to defrost even on the hottest of days.
