We went from temperatures in the 90*s on Friday and Saturday to high 70*s yesterday to mid 60*s today...FALL decided to sweep in today I guess.

The goats are loving the temperature change though. Lots of bouncing and romping around. All of the critters enjoyed the change in temp to be truthful.

I didn't do much today myself due to having a bit of an upset stomach for most of the day... My own fault really...DH wanted to take me to dinner last night - anywhere I wanted...I chose Mexican food and am paying for it today.

Love Mexican too, but if it's too spicy it doesn't love me. Sorry you felt so bad after having a nice dinner with DH.

Didn't you love that cool front. We had it last week for several days and it was HEAVEN. No AC, windows open. Great sleeping at night. The bunnies loved it. They loved sitting on the window sill, feeling the breeze and listening to the crickets.

Sorry you couldn't really enjoy but I'm glad your critters did. They had a rough time with the heat and glad to hear they got some kind of relief and had a ball!

I LOVE Mexican food too...problem is ever since I was "double scoped" in June I have a bad reaction to it - and a lot of other things All my favorite foods hurt me now.

What beautiful weather we are having!! I love it - the animals love it - and it's great weather for my boys soccer practice/ games!

Miss Flufferbottom is still setting on those eggs - they are due to hatch on 9/19. She is also keeping the other chickens from laying in the adjoining nest boxes which means that I have to hunt for eggs. Lucky most are laying in one spot in the barn. But since I now I have stitches in the back side of my knee bending to get those eggs is a royal pain. Gonna have to make my boys do the egg hunt...cause I thought I pulled my stitches out last night it hurt so bad

The goats and llama have decided that cooler weather means that the hay racks need to be filled There is still plenty of lovely grass and weeds and brush out there for them to eat and I've informed them to get to it...I will not be filling those feeders until it either snows or there is not any browse for them due to frost killing.

The guineas have taken to running to me when I'm in the field...am I the guinea queen or what? I don't really know what to make of them.

I've had guinea for 16 years and I STILL don't understand them. And they die for absolutely no reason / give no warning. It's like they're just walking along one day and go, "Hey...this looks like a great place to croak" and...they do.
