Summer is back! It was a high 95 degrees F. today so the girls had themselves a run through the sprinklers. Not sure they enjoyed it as much as I did, but they seemed cooler afterwards. For those not yet in the know, Meatball is not, I repeat not, a rooster. This is great news on so many levels - little imagination needed on this point. Thanks to all of you who have shared your egg cartons for reuse in a few months. This puts you on the AA list and you know who you are. Try a feed to this new blog and you will be notified when the girls start laying. Remember that the eggs are yard free rather than range free, which means they roam the yard not for a mere 15 minutes each day, but from sunrise to sunset, that is, within their rather large confines. (We had to put a stop to the gem lettuces being ravaged and the concrete patio being unnecessarily fertilized.)
