Hot

California is being hit with a hot weather system right now.  This is our 5th day of what is supposed to be a weeks stretch of temperatures over 100 degrees. It has reached 103 on a number of days here and that is hot!

I try to keep the sheep cool with drum fans and misters. They appreciate it and often crowd around the moving air. They stay pretty still from around 2:00-4:00 to conserve energy and regulate their internal temps.

The ducks get a hose sprinkling several times a day which they absolutely love! I have a cute video of their reaction to the cool down in next weeks blog.

Our dog Rosie loves to sun bathe!  But this week she’s only been able to stand the heat until about 8:00 in the morning!  It’s too hot!  We are looking forward to a break that’s supposed to be on it’s way Friday.  I sure hope so.
