Keeping cool was the name of the game this week. Wild weather included 80% humidity, 90°+F temperatures, torrential rains and two, confirmed tornadoes in the area. Thankfully, we are no worse for the wear and the grass and flowers

The egg scale is adorable! So if I want to be selfish I wish for that but if I want to think of the chickens….which I should….I will wish for the food. :o) Good luck to everyone!
