Comfort Zone
Ahhh. Thanks to the delta breezes, there was a dramatic drop in temperature yesterday and we all breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time in I can't remember when, I didn't come out of the barn dripping wet from the inside out. The girls waiting their turn frisked about like kids. Large flocks of turkeys drifted through the property all day; they had been staying down in the shade of the woods during the heat. I hadn't blamed the little girls for not wanting to sit in a hot box. Egg production had fallen to one, maybe three a day. Last evening I picked up eight! The bird bath in the herb garden was a riot of activity with lots of splashing and chatter going on as the wild birds came to cool off. We're all back in our comfort zone.
Ahhhh...I can feel your relief from here, and I'm sending cheers of hip, hip, hooray! I hope it keeps up, as you certainly deserve it. Here's to another and another and another!
