Rain, Rain go away....
It has been raining for two weeks. I thought this was called the sunshine state. Everything is soggy and completely saturated with water. Including the ground. The chicken coop has turned into a giant mud pit better suited for pigs than chickens. The coop itself is waterlogged the wood is all buckling and I can't latch the door without a great deal of effort. The chickens don't seem to mind, although they do not look their best. Yesterday we had a raccoon climb into the coop in broad daylight. A very unusual event and it usually means certain death for one of the feathered babies. It did not bother the chickens though, just happily ate the chicken feed of the ground until I ran screaming and waving a big stick at it. It ran off under the shed, which being made of metal made a huge noise when I banged on it with the big stick I was brandishing. You see, this is why I make a very bad Buddhist and I am doomed to never reach inner peace. I wanted to get that raccoon just for mearly...
