It's hot but still several under the norm for us. Getting next to nothing done. I do have to secure Maude's next box at night as her eggs have dwindled to 4 and I think she had 8 to start. That sounds like she is losing eggs to a snake at night. I didn't know such was the case until last night.

The Legbar hen has weaned her one chick. The little rooster thinks he is as big as his dad and joins the flock on the roosts now by himself. Need to get out to that coop and make sure their water fountain didn't leak down over night. Some nights it does and some it doesn't. Ma's spoiling Rufus the little Bielefelder boy. He is over his bout with spraddled legs but is her pet. He spends a lot of time in her house coat pocket or on her shoulder and is know to jump from her shoulder to the top of her head. Fixing him a coop in the sun room. During the day he hollers non stop if he isn't near one of us. Going to take him outside to play in the dirt soon.

I've been trying to have some quality fun time with DH. Dr says part of healing is to keep the morale up. My 2004 jeep have up the ghost so yesterday we went car shopping. I chose a ford maverick because it has an SUV base but it a pickup truck. It's low so I don't need to see him struggle to get in and out. It's a hybrid so it charges it's battery while driving but also uses gas.
It will be my car but I left DH do the test driving and negotiating and he was in his glory. It took us from 12:00-6:00 and we were weary. But DH is very excited. It has a smooth ride like an SUV, heated seats, heated steering wheel. I would say buying a new car is a man's delight. They had different colors and DH picked a velocity blue ride.
Plus they have him a good special deal. They must have known they were brightening up my man's day

Hubs likes those (and pushes for us to get one for my car…told him nope tapped out on vehicle payments with his thank you very much), and the hybrid gets phenomenal fuel economy.

LOTS of rain at the farm weds night and thurs morning. Poor vet was running late and then took the wrong(bad) road to the farm and ended up in the ditch. The county hired a new road grader operator and he has no clue as to what he is doing. Keeps going way over the shoulders of the ditch and plowing all that dirt/clay into the actual road way. Add some rain and it like you're driving on snot.

Got all the vet work done on the 6 heading out. Comet and Curly are still LARGE and in charge. Show actually seemed to enjoy the vet testing for trich (some type of STD) BUT Shoe was NOT amused by the vet attempting to remove the Bangs tag and put in the EID tag. Honestly Chance seemed like he was afraid of all the yaks. He wanted us to rope/tie down the calves' heads so he could tag them. Instead, I just grabbed them by their jaw and one (itty bitty horn) and held their head steady/trapped while the tag was punched through the calf's ear. Vets called and the paperwork is ready to be picked up (will do it this afternoon) and find out the "damage" for having them do it at the farm. It will be worth is for the last of stress on the yaks and myself. I'm actually getting a restful sleep since we schedule him to come out.
