I wish I could help! If you had an automatic pop door for your chickens that would help a lot. At least they can go out into the run without anyone having to do ti.

How long are you likely to be laid up, Raz?

I'm not sure. The last time was 6 days in hospital then I was home and coping on my own. I should have more info by Monday. The chemo guy said he will call me on Sunday. We worked together today and it might all work out. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Storm hit bad here Friday night.
Just got power back this evening.
2 HUGE trees came down, luckily they fell away from the house or it could have been much worse than just a mess in the yard.
One coop window broke, wind lifted 2, props fell out and the slam broke one.
Again, very lucky, all but a couple tiny pieces of glass didn't come into coop.
All the shade cloths went flying, one ripped off the coop wall.

The storm wasn't bad here.
Hope RaZ has some news on getting help with his critters. And he finds out today when his surgery will be. I know he doesn't believe in prayers, but I'll still say a prayer for him and will be thinking of him.
Headed out today for Petosky and Traverse City. Will be gone a week. Looking forward to getting away but not the HOT weather predicted!
Take care all...

I loved baling and stacking hay. Hard work but I thought it was fun.
That's looks like some fine hay.

Yeah, we had about perfect conditions for hay that week. Warm, dry, a little wind, and no big rainmaker forecasted to make anyone want to push the hay. Its beautiful stuff, and our supplier said that they've never have baled as much hay as they did that week. Guess that he has a couple of crews that work on baling and stacking it up at his customers places.

Yeah, Friday night knocked out power here at my apartment. Doesn't normally happen here. Didn't seem that bad at the farm the next day. Storms are funny like that.

Oh, fun excitement here on Tuesday. Local Firebug went into the Dollar General in front of my apartment building and sat the TP aisle on fire. I was out at the time and when I came back I couldn't drive to our parking lot due to firehoses in the way. At least that they had it mostly knocked down at the time, but I guess everything inside of the building is a total loss. I parked over at the Ice cream place and did lunch and watched a little bit. Could at least walk around to my apartment later, but took them most of the afternoon to get the scene cleaned up. They arrested the guy the next day, and I guess they have video of him doing it and running out the door, and has some priors as well. Wasn't my favorite place in town to go to, but it was handy, and for a DG, it was pretty nice. didn't hurt that it was about a year that its been open as well.

Yeah, rumor was he was even stupid enough to not come in with a face mask on, to hide his mug. If anything, that would have been the time to wear one. But I guess that boy ain't all that bright.

No doubt about that!
