Between the travel and the heat I was really tired last night. After checking on my flocks and briefly checking the vegetable gardens I came inside, watched the Kentucky Derby, and was in bed by 9! I slept soundly almost nine hours with just one brief break.
Now I am brewing coffee :caf and listening to the sound of thunder, rain, which we need, badly! :yesss:

Same here...to bed early, slept soundly, up for a fresh pot of coffee AND listening to the rain! 😁

I did an animal check shortly after getting home yesterday. Momma hen had her 5 chicks out walking, getting lessons in "scratch & peck", talking as she went 🥰. At dusk I went to check & she had them all cuddled under her, back in "their" nest. So cute!

Today will be mostly slow & inside -- rains off/on today. Back to work Mon-Thur. Friday sort & pen goats -- harder to do than say 😁... Set up to load for Sat morn, then off to auction Saturday.

Full week. Looks like a little slack for following week👍

Glad I looked outside the window at the ponds, noticed that the rain barrel overflow hose was emptying into the pond. And I thought "Did I reconnect that to the overflow at the top of the barrel?"
:oops:

Put on my mud shoes and hat, went outside and discovered that I still had the hose attached to the bottom faucet of the overflow barrel, and it was open!

Fixed now. And I heard the satisfying sound of water pouring inside the second barrel, filling up.
