Well, there were no more eggs today, which was a bit disappointing but...hey! you can't have everything. LOL! When the Beast was in the coop, he found the water container was empty. That was a shock since it holds several gallons and he just filled it up about three days ago. But I guess our really warm weather had them all chugging down more water than usual. So, today the Beast filled up the big water container and also the smaller one that we used when they were smaller *chicks*. That way they have two they can go to. He put one outside in the yard of the coop and the other in the barn.
It must have been empty for at least overnight because they literally attacked the water feeders and kept at it for a good 15 minutes or so. Then they settled down and acted their normal weird selves again.
The Beast told me today that he is finally ready to think about going to see his brother. He's fulfilled the things asked of him by his buddies at church and did the checkup on the AC units there and changed the filters. He also got the grass cut today on both lots before the rain hit us.
It rained pretty hard for a bit and, believe it or not, quite a few of the chickens, including Freddy, stayed outside for about 10 minutes during it. That surprised me since they didn't stretch out their wings like they were *bathing*. They just walked around, scratching the ground and finally sauntered into the barn.
I was a bit surprised when the Beast brought up the trip to his brother's house. Of course, he says first he has to finish up his ironing (he'll be taking a few of his dress shirts with him since they both belong to the same denomination church and the Beast does know quite a few people at his brother's church. I think even his sister may belong to the same one, although she moved out of the area about a year ago. So she may be going to one closer to her new home.
I have no idea yet when he will be leaving but I can hardly wait. He'll be gone for at least a week. Even with taking care of Baron and the chickens, it will be nice. I can eat when *I* am hungry, do my chores on my own schedule and even do some baking that I have been wanting to do. I have several recipes for things that I am dying to try but the Beast wouldn't have known some of the ingredients and he wouldn't really have looked for them with any diligence.
Well, my hair is full of coconut oil (good for hair and scalp) and I need to jump in the shower. Love you all. Be good. Choose to be happy and don't worry about how other people feel about how you live your life. It is YOUR life! ***Hugs***
