Whoops! Yesterday morning I overslept. First time in years. Not sure if it was the extreme heat we had or what, but I felt terrible that I did. I am always up making coffee, feeding the cats, packing my husband's breakfast and lunch. There has been a lot on our minds though.
Although I will now be behind in weeding, I am so happy for the rain. The funny thing is, is that we both said if it's a rotten year we'd not plant a garden next year. In fear of a rotten year (3 years in a row), we really cut back on what we planted too. Now I regret not planting my popcorn, peas, spaghetti squash etc. Well, I'll be over those regrets, as soon as I visit Farmer's markets and re-stock.
I finally got rhubarb vodka in the making. We like this better than strawberry, but both are good.

Such a good tip to give the chickens chipped ice. It probably did you the world of good to have a lie in, you must have needed it.
mamasmercantile, they sometimes walk on the ice to cool off too.
Your snap dragons are lovely.
Our garden seems to get cut back a bit every year. Hubby is getting a bit beyond the kneeling to weed and he is the one that does the veggie gardening. I just get the joys of processing it all, drying the herbs and gathering the small amount of fruit our trees are now producing.
God bless.
Jackie, my husband is the same way, and hates the weeding part.
