Frost blankets. My sister might have some advice. She has a thread.

June 5th. I think I am going to make a separate thread on random rambling if people want to follow my trip to China.

Tag me too please. I don’t know where in China you will be going but I would be interested in following along and seeing your pictures.

It sounds like she is panting - Rose did that to me once when it was very hot and humid - a real gurgley rattley sound.

Turned out she was over heated - I put a big fan in there for them since then when it is hot.

Youtube wants to make sure I am a human by asking for sensitive info they do not need. I just told them to shut up and look at the content I post and then decide. I am not a fan of the way Google is doing its stuff.

I should find a fan. Abigail does this frequently. Maybe dragging her inside and turning the AC on will make it stop for a bit. I can hear her noise and it is quite loud.

Yep she sure is a good broody! She will make a good mama one day
It's great to hear her answering the distress cry from the chick. My girls just ignore mine!

Some days that is all my gals would do. I think by Day 21 she will be tired of sitting, hopefully she will just quietly give up and join the group.

Do they just give up and return to normal all of a sudden? Or is it a gradual process?

I just got a Frost warning for tonight and my garden is planted. I need to cover everything with something!

In a pinch just heap old towels or sheets. Even a tiny amount of cover is good enough.
If it is dry even paper bags will work.

I never read the books they ruin the movies for me. well actually I do read the star wars books because its my favorite. Im a star wars geek.

That makes me sad too.

I need to get me one of these signs:

If you have some old sheets they work great, you can drape it across the fencing, a fan blowing the air under the fan will keep the air moving and prevent frost from accumulating.

What is the temperature for you tonight? Calling for -2C here.

This is really crazy weather! I have left the heat on in my office for the Tweens. And am tempted to close the back door of the barn also.

I have found it the other way around I red the books and find the movies lacking.

I cannot agree more. I guess I am old school in my thinking. Thankfully in 3rd grade Rosie's teacher was one of the "evil old hard ones." She has thrived under those types of teachers. Cursive was not required but she taught her class to write in it anyway. I really think they are trying to dumb down our children these days. If I was just starting out again and had to enter her in kindergarten, she would be put in a catholic school. I'm not even catholic, but those nuns take no crap and teach and push. I was shocked when I filled out the beginning of the year paperwork. A key permission form was missing for the first time. I have always signed and agreed to corporal punishment if needed. I was paddled twice in school and it did me favors. Completely done away with now. I asked Rosie what books are in her library to check out. I remember that library well, senior year worked for the librarian for 2 class periods so I did not have to take extra gym classes. They have Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and lots of Stephen King and Nora Roberts. You know what is missing? Moby Dick, Little Women, Of Mice and Men and every single Mark Twain novel. They had them before, several copies of each in fact. I know, I read them ALL.
Ranting tax.
