A Swimming Saturday



I don't know about you all, but we got caught in downpours on Saturday!

It began raining overnight, this puddles was awaiting us Saturday morning when we began our day...

but then there seemed to be a break, so we headed out to run some errands.  Standing in line outside, it opened up on us and poured!  Then came the wind.  But we finished our chore there anyway.

We got home and worked on chores and making sure the animals had clean fresh water and that water hadn't gotten into their food.  Funny, the pen which seemed least likely to be a mess had gooey, soggy food. Luckily not much went to waste, and everything was put back to right before dark.


Doing one last walk around with Wyatt, I stopped to see how the little chickens were liking their newest house.  This is what I found- they all sleep in the same one.  Despite how quickly these light and buff Brahmas and Buckeyes are growing, they squeeze together into one house EVERY night.  Oh, well.  We tried.  THe other i there when they decide they want it.

Cloudy nights make for the most amazing sunsets!!! Honestly, you just can't compete with the desert Arizona sunsets anyhow.  The colors are so vibrant and alive.

 Tucson set a record for rainfall for the date on Saturday.  The airport logged in .71 inches, besting the previous record for the date of .69 inches.  We weren't close, with a half inch, but can't complain about more water in the buckets and water supply!
 Well, I hope your weekend was restorative and productive and positive, leaving you ready to take on the ups and downs and forward motion of another week!
