"Wait 5 minutes, It will change"

Due to my recent heat exposure incident, I decided against going outside very often yesterday. By six o'clock that evening it had cooled down to a chilly 103f {39c}. Instead I stayed inside where it was cooler and thought about canning French onion soups. Too hot outside and too warm in the house to do such a thing. So I did housework and pretended to enjoy it. Strange that I complain about working outside, yet when forced play hermit I miss the garden.

My teenagers {heavy chickens} have found a way out of the enclosure and have been wondering over to the neighbors. I guess I don't have enough room for them nor the right type of insects. It's 3 of the 5, that are wandering. I find them in the garden and in the orchard. 1 rooster and 2 hens, I guess he decided that he can't compete with our adult rooster and wants to start his own harem somewhere else. I think they are getting out through one of the non usable gates. I will have to fix that today. {I took a picture of them yesterday, or thought I did. I can't seem to locate it}Around eight in the evening lightening filled the sky. You have never seen a happier bunch of people. There has been no rain in 2 weeks. Drought can be fierce here in central Kansas. We have watered and watered, but still we have lost most of our berry bushes and one grape vine. We will replant next year, try again with more established plants.
