The broilers are still here. I guess that would be the 'frog' in my life right now---that, and calling the electric company to fix the outside light... :)
But, this morning, in all of it's sogginess was very wonderful. The cherry tree is ready!!!--and I, in my store-bought life seem to have acquired a taste for the not-quite-ripe-yet. I have 8 cups of cherries we picked last week, and this week, they are finally all ripe. Whoopse. So, in the heat of today--it's supposed to get up to 82 degrees, and with the rain...
The mulberries are ripe, too, and oh, so yummy!! They are also chicken treats, that are free!! If you want to see something just delightful, give some chickens fruits for the first time. Or a worm, or a cricket. They are so funny!!! One will grab it, and run, making this noise... the 'I've got something' chicken noise that attracts all the others. :) They also like cherries. :) The hens pick off the fruit, but Penguin (our rooster) just swallows it whole. :)
Since it was soggy, the goats were still in their hut at 6:00! The sun rises around 4:30, and they are usually out and engorged by the time I get there around 6. They don't like the damp so much. :) I let the chicks get their first peek at the goats. They seemed to like each other. Okay, not really, but the goats didn't try to butt them, and no kamikaze chick tried to take out a goat. *shrug* so I'm good. :) :) :)
The goal for this weekend is to have all 7 broilers in the freezer, well, just their meat. Harass me if I don't. (and you'll know--I'll type all about this new method!!!)
