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:

I’m done with chicken chores. I would have loved to see farmerjan in action! LOL
We were saying under our breath "Stop arguing, she knows more than you."

Besides, you don't debate while potential customers are standing around. Even I know that!

Duh. :rolleyes:

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.
