Our clouds have been so light and fluffy and not the usual Maryland clouds. Thunderstorms have taken away the haze and humidity and we feel like we are in California or Oregon or Montana. Big feather cloud boats, float across the sky and the sun rays bounce off and through them. Reality will hit again soon as it's early August and the warmest, humid days will come and stay for weeks.
Everyone likes light here on the farm. Sir Salty always looks for a window inside that has sunrays beaming in before he tries to catch it by lying on them.
Our hens should be laying eggs in the hen house, but it is so much more fun for them to run up in the hayloft and sit amongst the sunbeams. Every day is an Easter egg hunt here. Free range hens are the ones who eat the problem insects. They also eat grass which makes their eggs a richer yellow.
