We had mostly clear skies and were able to see the Northern Lights last night and early this morning. It was something on my bucket list, so I was thrilled, mesmerized. We sat outside at 4 am drinking coffee/tea and just took it all in….vertical curtains of shimmering rainbow hues…more red last...

YAY! So glad to see! My daughter was thrilled too—-she was the one who rooted and cared for it/them. Ours looks very good too. We’ve got a tomato cage around it for support.

Hail! No damage other than a couple small seedlings in the garden…It must have hailed for 20 minutes. We got about 1/2” of rain, but not much wind.

Line of storms went thru here last night, we got up at 11 pm watching local weather coverage. There was a tornado in our county, one down by Joplin. Sirens were going and we were prepared to go to basement. But it passed thru quickly and we got the all clear. Everything looks okay here this...

3” of rain yesterday, more coming. We had a sudden hailstorm around 7 pm. All the older flock went in when it got really dark just before and I closed them in. The young bantams, who have their own coop, just stayed outside. I ran inside, got soaked.

We had 34 this morning. I have not planted the tomatoes outdoors yet, but may on Wednesday if it isn’t blowing a gale…..

Welcome to BYC! Let us know what happens…..

Heartland Hatchery which is near KC also does traveling chick days, that’s mainly how they sell chicks. I got my EE bantams from them when they were in our area. http://heartlandhatchery.net/
