When I opened the front door my chicks were taking flying lessons. They were all going to the high places and then flying off their perch. I feed chick starter and scratch which is cracked corn and millet seed then I have to gather weeds out of the fence row for them not just any weed mind you they have their favorite weed. I don't know the name of this weed but this weed grows 5 feet tall and they turn up their beak at any other weeds. It is safe to say they are spoilt chicks.
The weather is suppose to be hot this week after two weeks of the 80's it is suppose to get into the 90's now reaching a high of 97 by Wednesday maybe the tomatoes will ripen.
We are having the cat/ dog war on the hill. The people down the hill have a boxer dog with 6 young about half grown. Yesterday they turned the young ones out and they came into the neighbors yard killing one of the kittens that I have shown on my blog. The kitty owners called the sheriff and believe it or not he show up or perhaps it was a deputy.
The dog people said our dogs are in the pen they don't run loose then along came the mama dog running free so then the boxer owners said those kitty people let their dogs run loose. kitty people don't own dogs. The dogs belong to the neighbor that lives above us and my sons dogs.
Son told me this story because I try not to talk to the kitty people and I suppose the sheriff could not do much because we don't have leash laws here.
The law usual tell people that you can kill an animal if it is on your property and creating maham so I suppose that is what he told the kitty people. I expect to hear boom, bomb! because kitty man said he had a shot gun if the boxer people have a gun we may have less dogs on the hill.
I told my son his dogs might be shot but he said his dogs were not bothering anything so we will see what happens next. I think my son has a very optimist out look on kitty/dog wars

We will wait for chapter 2. It may be titled--cat kills dog or dog kills cat or neighbor kills neighbor?
You may have another Hatfield and McCoy war going over there soon. Those chickens eating watermelon reminded me of when I was a child and my daddy always gave the watermelon rinds to the chickens and they loved it. It has rained here for what seems like all summer but has been cool. I guess if you are getting hot there it will be here next!
and I say with any luck this will happen....when people live as close as the people on your hill they need to keep their dogs and cats in their yard and if the animal will not stay there they need to shoot their own....don't make your poor neighbor do it....
