Sprinkling it is.

No water, no cool, just humidity and heat.  So, I started watering.  Late, because of the heat, I was sitting, stewing, losing track.  It's going.  I have a plan, shouldn't take too long.

Oh, but... I now know what got to the eggs of one of my hens.  A skunk.  I'm going to have to sort that out.  I had thought it was a raccoon.  But, no.  As I went out, at first just to tend the ducks, I chased it off.  Not... that I chased after it.  Only that it saw me and took off.  I may have to purchase a trap.

As well, I will be closing their food up at night.  And setting the trap up where their food it.  Odd, but a peanut butter sandwich will do.  Then cover it with a towel, slowly and calmly.  They recommend taking it to a nice little park, to be released.  I am thinking it will go somewhere to die.  The trick is to kill it without getting sprayed?  I still think there might be a raccoon out there, too.  And, if one skunk, maybe more.  Blast it all.  At least my underhouse, last I checked, was well screened up.

It isn't cooling out there, pretty much at all.  Still, while watering, I am hoping to tear down boxes, open an area for the cooler, and get it pretty much set up.  It arrived, I think, with several freeze blocks.  I can get those in the freezer overnight.  Add water, perhaps figure out a hose connection.  It has a float valve, so it will stay filled... just need to make sure that works before ending up mopping.

Ugh.  And I still have to set up medicine.  I didn't get meds today, may have missed last night.  Heat, sleep cycle problems, mom, people, things... ARGH!!!!  I'll keep at it, if possible.  I have an hour and an half more watering to do.  So, there is some time.  But I do want to go down when that is finished.

Boxes first, then on to setting up medicine.  Good evening, night, and maybe morning.
