It's hot here in Oklahoma!!! Real hot! This is the temp in my chicken coop with a fan going! Yesterday morning I woke up and discovered my boy bunny dead from heat stroke, I had him for over a year, and I will miss him :'( The realization that I, the caretaker to these animals, kept my bunny in an unnatural environment and he passed away makes me feel horrible. I had put a frozen water bottle in his cage but it wasn't enough, if he was able to burrow he would still be alive. So once I had him buried I went crazy trying to cool down all of the animals, I have two fans going in the coop. Mrs. Squirty who I should call Mrs. Broody is sitting on eggs again and won't leave the nest. I couldn't bare losing her too, so fans will run all summer if they have to! The goats are in a pretty shady spot and I change their water 3 x's a day, so they should be fine. Normally I love summer but this is crazy, it's still June and it's 100+ everyday. On a happier note, I have been canning up a storm, I have crocheted two cute mesh bags which is quite an event since I was stuck on dishrags, and I received a priceless treasure recently that I have been fiddling (hint hint) with that I am so proud to own and excited to learn. My house is still a pig sty, with three kids out of school and all the goings on with the animals, garden, canning, and my general dislike for my domestic duties. It might just stay a pit for awhile! Martha Stewart I am not!
