Just like my back yard with chicken poop... at least they are small

Mornin Ken and All

Very nice morning here, got a bit humid last night. Got another hen just starting to lay as I got one of those squishy ones this morning - that means they just started for those un-chicken knowledged ones.
Not sure what to do today, may go look at some open houses, may just go for a drive out west. Will have to go for a walk like I have been 2x a day for the last couple days since it is so nice out and not humid/muggy !

Happy Sunday

Good morning Lin...chicken poop might be small...but...if I remember correctly...especially odiferous.

Not a bad start to the morning here as well...but...rain on the way...should be here late morning early afternoon...you should see it after dark.

Enjoy whatever you do today...I'll be meeting the Brekkie Crew for brunch later this morning. Then...a day full of slacking.

Good morning Kenny and crew!

The smoke rolled in yesterday and it is super thick outside right now and still hot, 82°. It's only supposed to get up to 89° today.

Morning Ken, Lin, all MASS and visitors. It tis an august day..... somewhere.... but not here in MD. Ma Nature is trying to make us cancel or postpone our party today. Thunder and lightning does tend to screw up outdoor festivities. She did provide a very nice day yesterday for the Great Grandson's first birthday tho.

Good August One Massachusetts, Ken, Lin, Don, Tim, Bud, John and all the crew reporting. Looks to be another beautiful day in my woods in the low 80's, Sun, Breeze and lower 40's humidity. Should be a a nice day to do something outside here.

Bud I hope Ma lets you have the birthday party!

Lin Enjoy the day!

Ken have a great Brekkie time!

Tim, Stay in and stay safe from the smoke!

Evening all...afternoon was partly sunny...the storms never reached us. The prognosticators are still saying that we will probably see some showers tonight into early tomorrow morning...there are some dark clouds west of us. I guess well know more tomorrow. Currently 75* with 60% RH...just a tad uncomfortable. Hope it's nice in your little slice of heaven!!!

Good evening Massachusetts, Ken, Chris, Lin, Bud, Tim, George, Shaun, and crew.
It has beautiful day wasn't too hot and humidity was low. I did get some yard work done!

But this evening turned unpleasant. Our Pyrenees Abby crossed the bridge this evening. She was to sick to recover.
But the bright side is she is in the place I hope to be someday and I WILL see her again!
