Yesterday I spent a lot of time working around the house and yard. I did a little additional work on the chicken house and made it a little more "friendly" for them. I found too extremely large wasp nest and got rid of them. I moved some of their nesting boxes (buckets) upstairs so they will get used to getting up there when they start laying. I groomed the horses and the pig and did some basic clean-up that has been neglected due to youth sports and work at the office.
It is summer in Mississippi now and though the temperature has not been excessive for this time of year, the heat index has been over 100 degrees numerous times already. Our humidity has been fairly brutal. I have taken the doors off of my jeep and they won't go back on until September or maybe even October. I don't know if it was because we had a long cool spring but, my garden hasn't been doing as well as I would have liked for it to. My squash, and cucumbers are almost not producing. I have harvested a couple of sqaush and no cucumbers. My tomatoes are doing pretty well. Dre' and I had scrambled eggs, toast and fresh sliced tomatoes for breakfast this morning. That is a good country breakfast.
I am about to go out and check on the chickens that are ranging free in the yard and look at the horses that are doing the same. If all goes as I expect it to post a little more completely this afternoon.
Until next time...John
