I've heard it hit 102..... holy smoley its hot.
I am not ready for hot, I'm so sluggish and sleepy.
Today is kinda not going well, Last night was night #1 and today day#1 of the baby chickens being outside in the pen with the older two chickens and the young ducks. All were still alive but one White leghorn roo is all pecked up and bloody.. bad bloody. Possibly going to have to be put down...Ok... one chicken and a roo at that I can handle that... bloodthirsty little buggers... All the ducks were fine and accounted for.. they have been outside for a while and been fine.. An hour later Mike comes home and goes out there and hollers theres a duck down... one little brown hen cant get up... he sets her up and puts her by the water and she drinks... seems to be reviving some... but what the heck she was FINE a little while ago.. has the swimming hole to swim in and drink out of... Now one of the black ducks is limping and resting a lot... Geeze...
all are eating and drinking and walking around so we shall see what tommorow brings..
I need a dang nap~!

Not too talkative....
Here I am...
Not so chatty this last week or so... Realized the last time I blogged was April 20th so figured I would post something. We had 9 chicks hatch on the 21st. Mike has been getting crazier with the sawzall. That suburban is looking crazier.... I cringe when I look at it. He hauled it home today from the shop and people stared.... glad I wasnt with him. Wild thing came up sick last night while spending the night visiting his mimi. Pretty much a nasty cold, but with him coughing and congestion aggravate some reflux issues he has had occasionally and he ends up wheezing and puking and miserable. If we can keep medicine down him without him going projectile with it he clears up fast. Poor baby. He slept for a couple hours on the couch in Mike's office because he refused to be 10 feet from his Daddy wihthout having a hissy fit like only a sick kidlet can and working himself up and getting sicker. I picked up a few things yesterday and today for my jewelry makeing. Bought myself an early mothers day present... 3 small nautilus pendants. 2 cut in half and one whole. Suspended them on a chain along with a silver coral branch that I have. Its pretty awesome. Now this is a farm girl blog so I better get some farmy stuff on here I guess. We got ALL the tomatoes and peppers planted and Mike's cauliflower. I noticed the onion seeds I had given up on just started coming up. I planted radishes and the cauliflower where they are since it was weeks ago that they were planted. We shall see what comes out of it. The ducks are getting big. I am overrun with little bitty chickens. Need to weed through and get rid of roosters and the breeds i dont want. I have some adorable mixed breed bantams and layer chicks I figure I'll sell. I have someone bringing me Blue and Green Americauna eggs to hatch. we are going to split whatever hatches 50/50. Full sized breeds I plant to stick with Buff Orphingtons and the Americaunas. THe Bantams, I think I will keep the silkies, the polish and the cochins, though I'm undecided. There are 2 sultans, a hanfful of Brahmas and a few mystery breeds. The mystery chickens will go for sure. The ducks are driving me crazy. They are disgusting! I plant to get some more rows tilled out for squash and zucchini and a few other things, I need to figure out where to plant birdhouse gourds and the snake gourds. I also want to look for some louffa seeds. Cant remember what else I wanted..... We are hearing thunder, and its getting late. Tommorow we are doing major house cleaning. Battery is dead on the camera again so pictures will come later.
Night y'all!
