Lots of dead grasshoppers on the ground this morning. Yesssss! Also a little toad was hiding under a leaf as I was weeding. Poor little bugger will probably starve to death now that I've killed all the nasty bugs. Penny still growing, 55-59-89, 24 DAP. BiggySmall is 44-45-73, 20 DAP. woo-hoo, I think they're racing, but Penny is in the lead at this point. Penny's fast approaching 200#. I'm still looking for those big gains. No. WAIT! I didn't write down yesterday's measurements (dumb attack), but that's a 41-lb gain from two days ago on OTT measurement. Ooh, ooh. maybe it's starting. But only 27 lbs. by CC. This is all very confusing. It was only 57 degrees this morning, and they might have kinda took a chill. I didn't cover them with blankets, just the sheets, so it may be a stupid-inspired setback. We'll see. highs today predicted for low-mid 80's, before warming up to 90's again next week. Summer's not over yet.
