Hot hot hot

​today summer decided to come all in one day!

Expected to of 42 


I converted it using google. That math problem is just to hard for me to work out 

So this morning I got up and jumped into action 

I’ve watered  all the pots out front 

Everyone has received their breakfast 

And cool fresh water has berm supplied


This is what greeted me while I was giving them fresh water. I grabbed a new water container and filled it right by the back fence. This was it will stay in the shade all day 


The chickens got a bag of ice in a shallow container. They can sit around it and drink the cold water. This will help keep them cool. The trees shade them during the afternoon when it’s the hottest so they will be ok. 


And finally an extra tub of water with the bag of ice. They all drink from this tub. Cats and dogs. Even Trixie, and there is water inside for her and Bella. The two that come in. Teddy and  Agatha seem to just want to be outside 

The difference between pure breeds and cross breeds. One likes pampering the other roughing it in the wild

Now I’m back inside. All blinds that are on the east side are down. It makes a huge difference  

Later after the sun is in the west the front blinds will go down. 

We are constantly getting an extreme weather warnings on our phones. 

We are all worried about bush fires 

I hope and pray people are extra vigilant so that if one does break out, it will be attended to straight away. 

Before it gets out of control

  1. I think we all get a bit twitchy when the temps get so high. Fingers crossed the wind doesn't pick up.

    1. Yup that’s why I go out early. Then hibernate in an air conditioned house

  4. 42o is unbearable. Your animals are well looked after. Bravo. Early morning is the only time for a bit of light work. Thank goodness for aircon.
    Crossing fingers you don't have any wild fires this summer. That's a menace you don't want.
