Is it raining

It's been raining all day. The wind is really starting to pick up around here. Hubby said his truck was rocking from all the wind gusts at Cape D.

I have a small run attached to the coop (5×22) that I put a bale of straw in when it started to rain this fall. Tonight I was crawling around under the coop, collecting 8 week old chicks. Under the coop was dry. The yard wasn't muddy, but it was soggy. I'm adding another bale to the yard this weekend. The hill I live on is solid clay. Everytime the grass is disturbed, we get mud. The straw seems to help. The chickens "free range" the backyard.
