Goodmorning. Overcast and 70° here. Not bad. Didn't get to 90 yesterday because of rain so it was a nice surprise.

@lovesfarms I am so glad to hear that you and your husband has a health care team that you are comfortable with and can trust. That is half the battle. Also glad to hear that your DH is home and under your TLC.

At this point in time you are definitely more sensitive to his changes in condition and needs than any hospital is. Keep up the good work and prayers are continued for you both.

Happy Sunday everyone! We finally got a break in the heat here which means turning off the AC and opening the windows for fresh air. I spent most of the day outside yesterday mowing and weed eating everything that couldn't run away from me.

The new shoes are definitely helping my feet. Nothing is going to make the pain go away 100% but these HOKA rocker bottom shoes are reducing the pain at least 50-75% which means I can tolerate it now when I want to be on my feet a lot.

In fact I felt so good yesterday foot wise that DH and I took two of the cattle dogs on walks in the timber.

Of course everything is sore today from working yesterday but hey that is why God made pain killers, right?!

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

micro, glad the new shoes are working out for you. Sounds like a major improvement, even if it's not 100%.

Coop chores are done. I put the new buckets in. They finally got them in at the feed store. I like the rubberized ones, not plastic. I was able to get some before, but they ran out of the larger ones, so I was doubling up on the smaller ones. It worked, except in the rooster pen. I have a rooster that likes to stand on the side of the bucket to drink. He'd sometimes dump the bucket over. I put a second one in as a back-up, but he'd dump that one too. Now, they have the large bucket in there, and he can't dump it, even if the perches on the rim. It doubles the amount of water too.

So, I put the new buckets in. The hens in the one coop ran over to it eagerly, and drank. The roosters, on the other hand, stared at theirs like they weren't really sure about it. They gave it stink eye. I knew they were thirsty, because they had tipped the other water bucket over, but they were leery of it. I decided to continue on, and if they wouldn't drink out of it by the time I finished up, I would put one of the little buckets back in, until they got used to the big one. Before I got my chores done, they were drinking from it just fine. Funny the different reactions between groups of chickens on things like that.

Thank you, Clue. My feelings exactly.
