I think we went 74 here as high. Did get the hardware cloth over the last window on the little coop rebuild.

Goodnight Old Folks. Need some Z's.

Remember all that weight I lost? It was still cold out. I had to order new clothes accordingly. Well, now it's hitting over 90 degrees, the pool has warmed to at least 86, so time to go swimming. OOPS. My bathing suit bottoms wouldn't even stay up, and that was before they got wet. I ordered 2 new swimsuits, in my new size. They came in yesterday.

BTW, yes I still have to keep track of my weight, how much I eat, and what I eat, adjusting accordingly to maintain my current weight, otherwise I'll gain.

Good Morning Old Folks. I've sweat off another pound or two this morning out mowing. Even using a rider my arms get very tired after the first acre is mowed. More to mow late this afternoon.

Congratulations!

Good Morning!

We will have a couple of low 100F days next week. I don't pay for the weather app so only see 10 days out. July and August are the two hottest months. We got up to 110F last summer, but two summers ago we had a couple of 117F days. Since chickens do not sweat but cool off from their combs, Days like that with real temps that high are deadly if you do not give them relief!

I did not lose any hens to the heat last summer, but did lose one two summers ago. I have better shade and ventilation this hear with the new coop.
