10:15 pm Well, well, I’ve got quite the nasty pattern going on here. Either falling asleep or getting distracted. It’s not like there’s nothing to write about.
Dad & Elsie are back in NC; her daughter & grandkids are still with them (I think they departed for Sweden today, though). We have chatted a couple times about their Florida trip, and I’m glad they had such a good time. Sounds like Destin area is being developed to the max. I wonder if there will be anything nice to visit much longer.
So, Saturday it rained, Sunday not, Monday it was supposed to so we went on errands, and of course the sun was out and skies dry… We bought supplies to make a chicken coop out of the small stall on the NE corner of the barn, with plans to make a chicken exit into a fenced area on the east side of the barn. We borrowed a book from the library to research ‘beginners’ at owning chickens, and we know enough to be dangerous now. Yesterday at Tractor Supply we asked the cashier if she knew where we could get egg layers, and she said her hubby must sell some of their 300+ chix because it takes too long to collect all the eggs! We just need to remember to call.
We’ve been busy today planting the trees that showed up in the mail on Saturday. Yesterday David picked up a load of leaf compost, and we used it to amend the clay soil in the tree holes. It’s just soil near the house that is bad, in most cases the compost is just a helper. Today was near 80*, but a breeze kept us cool. We can’t believe how tan we are here in May. Even with 70%+ humidity outside, the house seems to keep a comfortable temp, and downstairs it’s practically cold!
