Over night, we got a little over 7" of rain. Much needed, glorious rain...and today's temperatures won't get out of the 60's.

As someone who prefers cooler temps, this pleases me on many levels. I know a lot of folks look forward to the scorching hell that is Texas Summer...but I don't mind this chill day one bit. In fact, I wouldn't mind a bit more mellow weather before the Summer heat sets in.

Wow...that's alot! I don't mind the heat until it gets in the nineties..then I'm headed into the cool! Love the cool night though...great for sleeping. It's gonna get in the low 50s the next few nights but since we gave all 7 of the chicks back to Becka they can pretty much all stuff under her so I'll put the light on and they should be fine.

Fred, my White Leghorn, has the sneezes. No runny nose, no colored discharge...just clear snot sneezes. I'm going to keep an eye on her...do chickens have allergies like people?

Here in Appleby we got right at 5" in my yard, according the bucket full of water I measured this morning. That bucket was empty yesterday before it started to rain, and had just over 5" of rainwater in it this morning. Gotta love this cool weather!!

I think Howard was an alpha guard dog in a previous life.  :/   Yay for Howard & Yay for the Quackers & their growing family! 

He might have been, lol. I am just glad that he is turning his aggression into something useful. It's nice that he has a job he is good at.
