Today I was busy with doing laundry, working on canning tomatoes, and checking on the peacocks.
I wasn’t sure how many peacocks that hatched yesterday until my nephew and niece stopped in. They love to pick eggs, so after they picked the eggs for the day, we went to check on the little peacock. And to our surprise, there were three little babies running right beside Sally.
I tried to take a picture of them later, but there was no way that the peahen was moving and the babies were right underneath her. She even kind of hissed at me when I got close to her. I guess I got the hint.
There is still one egg that’s not hatched, so I put the heat lamp closer to it to see if there is a baby chick inside. Who knows right? But I’m guessing that there isn’t because the mom moved to the other corner of the building with the babies. And all most all the time, they know what’s going on even if we don’t.
So while I was busy doing things in the house today, Daryl spent some time working on the combine. That season will come fast!
For dinner today I wanted to do something with our campfire. With all the rain that we’ve had lately, there hasn’t been too many campfires on the farm. So I lit one this morning and cooked some chicken over the fire. 
With the grilled chicken, and the sweetcorn and watermelon that I got from the farmers stand a couple of days ago, it was a great dinner!
And I learned something today. I saw this crazy bug by the laundry line and when I picked it up, it made a terrible noise. It turned out that we’ve got cicadas and now that I stopped to listen, I could sure hear them off in the grove. So part of this learning experience is that I need to make sure to shake off the clothes before I bring them in the house.
