FRANCIS'S BLOG 07/03/2026
Thank goodness for well water (and another raccoon video 🦝)!
Good morning! It’s 90 degrees at 11 o’clock:
We’ll only graze for a little while. I wish I saw more clouds in the sky. The only thing that can cool us off is a good thunderstorm:
The fan is making the only breeze in the stable today:
Chickens have a harder time tolerating the heat than we do, so today they have a nice little pool in the shade. . .
And the ground was watered down for cooling by evaporation. 🐥
Anyway, here’s a video of Ms. Raccoon helping herself to Betty’s leftovers:
“I’m lucky that I like cat food, chicken food, horse food, or any food!” 🦝
Where’d everbody go? 🐓 and Just pretend I’m a cat! 🦝 (2 videos and more)
“Good morning! “I’m cock-a-doodle-doing to myself here. . .”
“It’s already 86℉ at 8:20 and it’s going up fast. Everybody else has headed for the shade.”
You’re right about the heat, Bart. As soon as I’ve had breakfast. . .
I’m joining Stormy in front of the fan:
The chicks are in the shade:
Goodness, hens, it’s too hot for both of you to be on that nest at once!
How did you get into the tool shed, baby cats?
“There are spaces in the floorboards that only cats know about, Francis.”
Whatever you say, little cat (seriously, cat-cops, you really need to name them). 🐴
Anyway, here’s a video of someone who needs no name. . .
“Just think of me as a cat with hands.” 🦝
