Glass gardening

At first, I thought this was at the glass blowing place in Oregon we went to last year, but this was in California.
My husband and sons know how much I love glass working, and they let me spend over an hour in their small retail shop. I had to inspect every single thing in the store and then went back through to pick out what I couldn't leave without.
Among other things, I picked out a glass blown jellyfish as our yearly ornament for the Christmas tree.
Also, I didn't find a float so a bought a small one that would fit in my luggage to travel home. https://traveloregon.com/things-to-...s/who-are-lincoln-citys-secret-float-fairies/

Tomorrow is the first day back to school. I am not happy. I would be much happier doing random stuff in the garden. On the bright side TSC is a 10 minute walk from the school so I get to be irresponsible with money then enjoy a 3 mile walk home, a mile of which is on the side of a main road! At least the tractor supply part should be enjoyable

I was up at 3:30 this morning. I don't understand why it's so hot. Why.... Just why.....

Supposed to climb to 110 on Thursday. Hopefully it will cool down this weekend.

Watered today and picked a few tomatoes.

People keep catching things on fire. Got some cool photos today. 40 acre fire down the road from my office. They threw 4 fire planes, 2 choppers, 10 engines and 4 dozers at it in under an hour. Fully contained.



Gifford fire is almost out, 128,000 acres. 98% containment. Yay!

Anyway, I'm way behind. Someday I'll catch up.

I'm not sure. I honestly thought the dead chick was the new one that hatched today. It wasn't until I got it out of the cage that I realized it was the first chick.

She seems very defensive of her baby. She growls and attacks every time I open the crate door. Maybe she killed the other one because it wasn't properly developed? Just seems weird that it didn't happen for 4 or 5 days after hatching. You'd think if it didn't absorb the yolk, it would have died within the day it hatched.

some chicks/ducklings live for a few days. I use incubator so they were not killed. a lot of ducklings had a small bump on the belly that didn't close well.

@Minanora I am soooo sorry. The fires in CA and all of the southwest are sickening. Many days our skies have been hazy and pink and we can smell grass fires from hundreds of miles away. Know I am praying for you guys. I have always lived in and loved the southwest (CA, AZ, and now NM) but this decades long drought and nonstop fires are starting to get me down.

I don't know how you stand the heat. My husband is in AZ this week and it is supposed to be 110 tomorrow there and he has to wear FR gear as he is working in a high voltage area. I dread that for him.

As for here, major victory. We got the electric fence up and the chickens can go from their coop straight out into a nice big area, which I am hoping will be our new garden spot. If I have the energy and money....lordy....but happy happy happy here. They transitioned really well, the dogs got nipped and leave a wide berth around the fence. It all went way better than I had hoped for. And my silly husband, electrician that he is, HAD to touch it to see how strong it was. Judging by his language it is effective.
