Good morning, everyOkie! Does everyone still have all their fingers and eyebrows after the fireworks? I am watering the garden and have let the clucks out of their run into the backyard to find their shady spots for the day. They do enjoy running around in the grass in the few morning hours before it hits 90 degrees. A good day to you all!

We bought 200 bales of last years hay early when we were getting rain and we had some left from last year so we have enough to get us started at haying time. The leases where our cattle are located have good water and fescue/bermuda for now. We won't be cutting our fields this year....will graze on the ground what hay is there and then start feeding. We fed over 600 round bales last winter. We need rain to make hay .

Have been stringing out soaker hoses in all the flower beds for the shrubs and trees. The dirt around the house foundation has shrunk and pulled away 1 - 2 inches in places. Since the house has a crawl space we will need to keep the foundation ground damp in order not to have shifting in the structure....so I'll run the soaker hoses at night and get up to change them at 4 hour intervals. Had to do this in 2006 and only had one crack in a brick wall.

The chickens have had their outside time, the water is already iced down. Will check it again before we leave at 1:30 for doctor appointments in the OKC. Our daily schedule has changed due to heat. Used to sit on the deck drinking coffee, do breakfast first and then do chores. Now it's chores first and then a brunch about 10:00 and sip tea in the cool of the air conditioner.

Hope everyone had a great 4th.

Good morning all. Looks like another hot one. Think I will take the visiting grandkids to Roman Nose to play in the cool spring water today. Hope noone mistakes me for a beached whale.

The dog didn't learn his lesson & today is worse! He has porcupine quills even stuck in the roof of his mouth (at least 6 of them plus the others in his face) Yesterday was just the lips, they popped right out. Today tried pulling out w pliers. No luck. Gave the dog a pain pill. Waiting for it to kick in. Read to pour vinegar on it to loosen. So in 30 min I will soak the poor dog in vinegar & go back to work with the pliers! Got him to keep varmints away, but seriously!

That's the color of our grass too. We ended up brushhogging/mowing around all buildings/structures this week to reduce fire danger.
What do you use for roofs on your coops...is that sheet metal?
