I got a new screen door...wahooo. Now before you all start blinking rapidly and scratching your head, my front door is over sized. There are no openable windows (is that a word?) for ventilation on that wall, so a screen door is a real treat, and since it is a custom door...very costly. My sweet husband saved up and installed it yesterday; it is beautiful. I am very lucky and thankful. And now on to the news, the dog needs glasses because he can't see the screen door and walks into it all of the time. This is the new entertainment program for us all. We open the door, sit down and call the dog. Thump! Good thing it has a pet screen in the bottom. And speaking of dumb animals, the egg layer or fancy chicks, as my daughter calls them, keep getting out of their brooding enclosure and now are wandering around the garage. My son opened the garage to put the car away and had to leap from the car and chase chickens around. You would think in 104 degree heat they would not be very fast, but they are and that boy can move pretty quickly too. The Cornish chicks (meat birds) are not interested in escape. They grow three times as fast as the fancies and are in metabolism overload. They waddle around, panting, barely covered by their feathers because of their rapid growth. They remind me of pregnant women in their tenth month. They look at me as if to say, I am miserably hot , go ahead and eat me...just do it !! Poor things. I will have the fence up around the coop tomorrow and they can o play outside in the fresh air. Watch out for the hawks little chickies....Peace and love to you all....
