I am at work, just over the county line in Pinal County. We are getting a pretty good dust storm right now, but no rain yet.

Hopefully you got some. It looked pretty widespread on the radar.

Yerp, we're getting it now!

We got the dust, and about a 200 drop rain spit - not quite enough to wet the ground totally BUT after 4 months we'll take all we can get! Supposedly we will get thunderstorms all night! Morning will tell. The girls were happy with the cooler temps too!

Our poor rescue rooster got freaked out by the downpour and ran out into it from his coop. I had to go out and catch him into a towl to dry him off. We both got drenched! Lol!..

I wrapped him in the towl and held him close to me for a while and he just laid his head on my shoulder and made little noises. Poor guy.

He's back in the coop and resting in the pine shavings right now. He didn't even want to get on the roost. This is his first serious thunderstorm and he just got scared I guess.

Our long dry nightmare is over! It's RAINING!!! e Just like magic, the torts appear. I could just see this one saying, "Oh no, did I miss it?!":

Those little stinkers are adorable..

My girls have started laying! Exciting! I found the first one by chance while cleaning the coop. It seems a little early in terms of their age, not to mention that it is so hot out. I'm not 100% sure which one of the three are laying yet but I'll figure it out soon. Here are the past three days eggs compared to a store bought egg. .

How eggciting!!! Great comparison.. However, there is no comparison to taste & better for you.. So glad you joined in.. What breeds do you have?

Love it.

Look what came out for us.

It jumped my in-laws, neighbors fence to get to the pool for a cool drink and I caught a couple pics. I love wildlife.

sorry not on my list of lovable things; trapped one at Christmas after it ate about 17 birds
