Simmering Sunday

  Good golly miss molly! It's been so dang hot. I get my outside work done before 8 or 9 so I won't melt. Had to buy hay already as the pasture is used up.
 The hens may actually be learning how to care for young. I think the banty is teaching them. She raised 7 with one hens help with 2 of them and is sitting again. Now we have 7 "heavy" chicks that are a few days old that one of the Marans has hatched. Actually Maran 1 hatched 5, went to ground, Maran 2 hatched out 2 more . Those 2 fell to the ground and Maran 1 took them over. Anyway, we have 7 more babies and so far they have lasted about 4 days. Almost a record for the heavy hens! lol
  Oh, before I forget! I took a look at why I might not be able to comment on my sister's page. She needs to change the settings to allow me to! From members only to public maybe. I think that was the choice. Oh, and the picture in my last post (I think) was of Izabella- "Bella"- Frannie's daughter.
  Went to town, got groceries etc. Back by 10:30. And got gas for 2.98! Yay! Under $3. Should not have to be excited about gas being UNDER $3.
 Was already 92* when I got back. Dang, the poor animals are just miserable. It's so dry and crackly out there. Cotton is having a hard time breathing with his COPD. A horse with asthma or something similar. Good grief. A dog with a flea allergy and two humans with more things that are wrong with them. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

  It's a stone day.
