Another good drying day


Wednesday 22nd July: Mild and sunny again. After last evening's storm today was quiet and another great day to get the washing dry. Today's high was about 13 degrees.
We schooled in the morning and then at the end of the morning filled a box with dry sand and some grain for the hens to dig and scratch in. Once all the grain was eaten they got busy flicking the sand through their feathers to clean themselves. They always enjoy scratching and bathing in the sand and dust. All three hens snuggled up together and had a snooze after all that excitement, and I managed to creep out and take some photos before they were disturbed.
In the afternoon we walked to town for more milk and yet another visit to the library and on our return the boys took to doing more chalk drawings on the concrete in the back garden. Before tea there was time to clipper their hair and then after tea we enjoyed movie night - Robots had them in giggles.
