Then at 4:00 I heard hubbie going out the door to check on them and I got so awake I couldn't get back to sleep.
I dragged through morning chores and checked the chicks several times before we had to finally move them outside once again because the sun hitting the greenhouse warmed it up quickly.
The one bright spot this morning was tie new mama and her 6 lovely chicks who seem to be getting lessons on life this morning.
Daughter dropped IR and CA off early this morning so she and son-in-love could work on staining their back deck. Not a usual Sunday activity but with all the rain we've had lately and son-in-love back at work full time and daughter busy with graduation at the high school she works at today was the day to get it done.
IR helped me get lunch ready. We had cooked a whole chicken in the crockpot over night and I took it out and pulled it all apart then added Jasmine rice and chicken broth and let it continue to cook.
We also had fresh corn on the cob and canned green beans with toasted sour dough from daughter.
Everyone but Aa's family made it to lunch today. Aa was moving some cattle around when they got out so they spent their lunchtime chasing cattle and fixing fence.
Daughter and son-in-love left right after lunch to go work more on their deck leaving the girls here with us.
RL and IR played outside for awhile so CA could get a good nap.
#1 son's family to go see d-in-love's mom and I played with IR while hubbie stayed inside with CA.
Daughter came after the girls about 4:15 because they ran out of stain and had to stop.
After they left hubbie and I headed for the garden. Just like everyone else we are so far behind our outside things because of all the rain we'd rather not do this on Sunday but when the ox is in the ditch you have to get it out Sunday or not.
We got replacement plants in where some of the pepper and tomato plants drowned in all the rain and I replanted the cucumbers for the 3rd time and the okra for the 2nd time.
Hoping the weather will be a little more forgiving this time around. Hubbie also got cages on some of the bigger tomatoes.
A couple of the male guineas were chasing each other around in the garden this morning so he wanted to get the cages up so maybe they won't run over the plants and break them.
We got chores done and then #1 son's family came by for left overs and helped us move the chick brooder box to the basement. RL had to ride along to make sure the chicks weren't afraid of the movement.
Inside at night and outside during the day is my plan, we'll see how that works out.
This day which is the last day of May has really snuck up on me this month and I need to get the last of the decade pics on here.
Back in May of 1990 daughter had broken a bone in the back of her hand when she fell off #2 son's back and she had a cast. We had a beach trip planned so we went on and tried our best to keep her cast dry. Hurricane Hugo had ravaged the east coast in September of 1989 and the cleanup was still going on as well as evidence of damage everywhere when we got to Garden City beach in May of 1990.
This year's month of May has been quite different than any other in my lifetime as the country starts to re-open from the shut down because of the Covid -19 pandemic. Unfortunately the virus spread continues to grow and we are still pretty much staying at home in quarantine mode. These are some charts that show the rising case count in the world as well as the country and our state.
God Bless and Good Night
