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.
