Chill Out

We had been having such great temperature, but now, Texas and Louisiana are having what one weather woman said "a ring of fire". She wasn't wrong. While we're only in the low nineties (that's actually low for our summer temps), the humidity has driven the real feel up to the triple digits. We're suffocating, that's the easiest way to put it. 

We're not the ones hurting though, it's our Highlands. Since the misters were a dud in the barn last year, tonight we tripled down on fans. Come tomorrow, we're going to have one big fan at one opening, an oscillating fan in the middle, and then a swamp cooler at the other end. Until we can get a stock pond built for them, we're going this will keep them cool. 

Another weird thing. Our wind has disappeared. The last few days, we've barely had a whisper of a breeze. I miss it! We've had wind for all the 16+ months we've lived here until this week. What gives? 

Oh shoot, just realized I was supposed to update about the barndo today. Oh well, there's always tomorrow.
