Chickens were uneasy tonight. People have been setting off
fireworks anytime it quit raining long enough for them to do so.
They are now fenced in the front yard. That's better than letting
them run loose. The neighbor on one side, he's a cool guy. Don't
mind if they come to his house--He'll get eggs for free! The other
neighbor, well, not so friendly, and though Mr. Natural
has been close on their heels each time. A bird dog has been
unleashed twice but he was there to rescue them. It's difficult to
put up fencing in these torrential downpours we've been having
daily.
Seriously, he had a 5 gallon bucket to put the raspberry bushes
in--said to put the roots in water. Overnight was several downpours
ago. It was overflowing this morning. He emptied it this morning.
It rained several times in the day--saved the hard rains for
tonight.
Considering building an ark! Luckily, we aren't in a flood plain.
Anyone that's ever been through a few hurricanes will understand
what I am about to say--We have had hurricane level rains for
weeks. Just no winds. And our gardens are full of powdery
mildew. (Can be killed by Neem Oil products) Recommended
that you trash the plant and remove from vicinity of other plants.
Deadly and spreads that easily.
The chickens were sitting on the railing of the porch tonight
waiting to come inside. They will be traumatized when they
are no longer allowed in the house. Right now, I think they
think we all chickens, including the cat.
All for tonight.
