Summer Heat

I hope all of you are cooler than we are~or at least have less humidity! It has been miserable to be outside lately. We could also use a little bit more sunshine to get things growing. My poor tomato plants look stunted and all my basil I planted looks to be the same size as last week--just peeking out of the dirt.

The hot, humid weather seems to be good for the chicks. Aren't they cute? They are growing well and are anxious to get outside of the hen house. One day this week we may let them out into the run that is attached to the house. That should satisfy them for a while.

Lucy hatched one chick yesterday, and as of this morning, that is still all she has hatched. I'm afraid the little thing may be an only child.

Susan is setting now, so we are hoping that she has more success than Lucy!

  1. Oooh, I just loves chicken and their baby chicks. Those are so cute. I am sorry about your plants. It is hot though. It is close to a 100 here on the coast. So hot. I don't see how anything can grow. Enjoy your days nevertheless. connie from texas

  4. Hey There!

    It's been just as hot here in VA, but today it is beautiful and much cooler (all windows are open).

    I love the chicken pictures!

    I've been so busy and not posting recently, but actually did over the weekend! Please stop by if you get a chance.

  7. Hi Mary! I haven't checked in for awhile. I love the pix of your chickens. We now have some Buff Orphingtons...just the other day we got 10 eggs from 9 chickens! Someone is putting in some overtime!

    Have a great day!

  8. I just love baby chicks! We bought chicks this year, that I hope will raise biddies for us. I am with you on the heat, we got a short break, but now it's back again!

  9. Rose Mary, I hope you had cooler weather like ours on Sunday. It was so cool and the humidity seemed to dissappear. It was wonderful that day!
