Love it, I'm going to steal it.
Already saved it! Too funny!
Been sick all morning, but still got some housework done. Hate being a diabetic...some days you don't know what sets off an episode.
Finished wetting down the pens. It's 115.9 already. Turned on the misters in both the teen pen and inside the big hen house. Turned off the industrial fan because it was pulling hot air in from the hot barn. Will go back out to check the thermometer in the hen house soon to see if it is going to make a difference. If not, will turn it back on because moving air may be better. It's a toss-up.
During the mornings, we lay down the plywood sheets to allow the breezes to blow thru the teen pen but mid day, we set them up to block the afternoon sun and the hot winds. anything to help.
Told hubby today that we are going to go ahead this fall and plant trees along the west and south side of the barn along the big hen run. We need the shade more there. He hasn't decided where the new equipment barn will go yet...so my trees can grow and he can figure out that location later. The trees will also benefit the permanent cattle pens he is putting in. He set up temporary pens this year and likes the layout so those will now become permanent.
Always some project on a farm.
