We got less than half an inch, a few lingering sprinkles. Was hoping for more.

It just doesn’t seem right to have a 100F and 35F within a few weeks of each other.

That is no joke!

Welcome to Texas y'all!

Got some welcome rain yesterday, about 0.64". We'll take anything we can. Puts our total for the year so far at +/- 13.00". I believe some parts of AZ have had more rain than we have....

We need 14" to hit average rainfall for the year.

Remember the 'deep freeze' of 2 years ago? We went from 71°F to 8°F in 24 hours!

Yep. Bit that still doesn’t make it right.

I haven’t “winterized” the coop yet. It is open air on two sides (one of them is between the coop and the llama stall so it is partially protected from drafts). I need to put up some plastic strip curtains or sheets with a gap for ventilation at the top and an easy way to roll up/tie them out if they way in the warm days. And still need to figure out what I want to do to keep them a water source that doesn’t freeze.
