Just a Little Chat :O)

 Had a few minutes while the baby sleeps so I thought I would hop on my computer and have a bit of a chat with you this morning. 

Last week I was watching a youtube video of someone who lives in the UK. She was saying that what they considered a heatwave was 3 consecutive days of 28 Celsius or above . So, of course, I had to look up what temperature that would be in Fahrenheit - 82.4 degrees! Can you believe they would think that 82 degrees was a heatwave? Where they are quite lucky is the fact that at nights the temperatures go down to the 50's and 60's. Some might argue well they don't have AC - that is true -but with the temps going down quite cool - they have the ability to open up windows and let that coolness inside. I wonder how they would deal with our temps here - especially here in Texas - where most of this summer temps have been trip digits during the day and if we get lower than 78 at night we are quite lucky. Sometimes our lows were 82 0 their "Heatwave"....ugh. 

Lucky for us after our high being 103 yesterday we are suppose to only get up to 89 degrees today and might make it down to 70 tonight - that will feel heavenly compared to what we have gone through. I believe that my count of triple digit days this year so far is 47 and it could have possibly been one or two more - but I there were a few days I was not able to check our thermometer alot - and when I did it was 99.? a couple of times - so could have made it higher but because I didn't see it I didn't count it. 

So the weather forecast has been saying that we are suppose to get 1-2 inches of rain - I am certainly not holding my breath - I don't want to be disappointed if we don't get much rain. It's been a few months of hardly any rain at all and it has disappointed me when they talk like we will get rain, but we get just a sprinkling. 

The great news is that over the last 2 -3 weeks we have FINALLY gotten our roof replaces and our fence just was put up the last 2 days! We have to do a bit of tweaks to make that part of the yard more secure for the chickens before we pull down our temporary fencing so they get the rest of their chicken yard back! 

Speaking of our temporary fence - I just have to praise God for taking care of my chickens during the last 4 months since the tornado went through. We put up that temp fence but any animal serious about getting in would have been able to do so. We have heard of coyotes in the area and have seen them across the street. So I just have to say Thank You to Jesus for protecting our chickens! 

It is nice to have the fence back up. It brings back my privacy and ability to work in my back yard and really enjoy it! 

We have a long list of things we want to get done around here and we slowly are working towards marking things off. The last several Sunday mornings have found us outside working and this Sunday will be no different - but maybe we can get the job we are working on done! That would be awesome. It feels so good to be moving forward and getting these things done. 

I hope you all are doing well. Please be praying we get rain - we desperately need it!!! Thank you!
