We are still waiting for the much needed rain. Metro Manila is already raining every afternoon since June started, but our area in the province where our plants are already starving and dying still hasn't received its share. We are officially already in the rainy season, but why, it seems so unfair! Except for an early short rain in May because of a thunderstorm, we haven't been blessed with the free water! We already have three typhoons, but all the clouds went to the city, where water is not really much wanted because it is so fully cemented that leads to fast flooding. I wish clouds can easily be blown where they are more wanted.

It is good that chickens don't take a bath, but they drink water too!
even with rationed water they still feel starved and thirsty
They have to eat the plants leaves and grasses, where they can get water supplement
their father cannot do anything, i hope there is rain dance for chickens too
Oh plenty of water, but that is in the hotel grounds, no chickens allowed
...and here is another body of water, but it is in the park very far from home!

Hope you get some rain soon.. Cute little chickens... Hope they can find some water.
ReplyDeleteWe are desperate here for RAIN also.. AND--It's terribly hot... That is hard on our flowers/yard/garden... Temps could get over 100 degrees here this weekend. I have one word to say: YUK.
Hugs,
Betsy
Thanks Betsy, at least in your case you have water from the pipes, it is difficult for us too. At over 100F temps, couple it with 90% relative humidity and it really is YUK!
DeleteI feel your pain Andrea. I hope you are blessed with some much needed rain soon. Cute little chicks!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post.

Lovely photos Andrea. Hope you get some rain soon!
ReplyDeleteI understand the problem, we are in drought. Thankfully no shortage of water yet so I can water everything. Hope you get rain soon.

Great shots of the hens and I love the reflections in the water. I hope you get rain soon. Droughts can be such a hardship.
ReplyDeleteWe have the opposite problem, we have too much water and it is too cold for the time of the year so we don't really need it ! I whish I could sent some to you !
ReplyDeletegood looking cock and chicks. it's unusual that you haven't plunge into the rainy season yet. i cannot remember a time when june was rainless in my province.
ReplyDeleteI hope the chickens survive the water shortage.
ReplyDeleteIt seems so many areas of the world need rain or are getting too much...such extremes..hoping your dry spell breaks soon
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteHope you get some rain soon.
Love the chickens!!! Our rains have just started here as well. We've had it now for the past two nights. The plants are VERY VERY happy!! Hope you get some soon:)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous captures Andrea. Praying rain soon comes your way. Many thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea, We are having a very, very dry summer here as well. Just this evening I noticed my peonies had wilted and fallen over. The heat has been bad and the dogs find it to be pure misery when the humidity and heat soars. I hope you get some rain soon for your thirsty chickens and plants.
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea,
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, yours is very nice, lots of nice pictures.

Hope it rains soon and give a refreshing cool feeling in your home & garden.
ReplyDeleteNice chicken pictures.
I like that Chicken...
ReplyDeleteAll the photos are great!
Oh my goodness, I had no idea! One of the benefits of "Our World Tuesday" is that the personal stories bring the "news" to a whole different level. I will be thinking of you (and the chickens) and hoping fervently that rain comes your way soon.
ReplyDeleteI understand how no rains can trouble. Till recently we too had this difficult time.Hope it pours soon in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteI loved the chickens. Never had a chance to watch them grow. It is so cute.
We are really dry here in GA. When I run the water sprinklers, the birds jump around under the fall of the water. I enjoy watching them have so much fun splashing around in the bird baths as well. I feel sorry for the wildlife during drought times. The deer even drink out of our bird baths...
ReplyDeleteThat is one handsome red comb! The chicks seem to be pretty 'cool' despite the weather. Love to see how the cockerel appears to like being photographed.

I'll gladly exchange my almost non stop rain for your heat and sunshine. You can have it all. :) Seriously I hope it rains soon for you and I hope the sun comes out soon for me.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get your rain soon, Andrea. I wish I could send you some of ours; we've been having too much of this particular good thing in Maine this year. -Jean
ReplyDeleteLovely looking chickens... would certainly like to try keeping some myself...
ReplyDeleteAndrea,
ReplyDeleteLoved the rooster photo. For once we got lots of rain until June. Now 6 days in over 100 degrees f and we are watering like crazy, everything is wilting.
Hi Randy, i am so glad you are here. I have not been able to see your posts because it always close saying a malware is in your site. I hope you read this because i don't know how to get this to you. Regarding our weather, if only we in the world can trade in temperatures, rain and humidity just like our seeds and plants, i am sure we already have done that! Surely many will benefit from some of our sunshine and temperature, and we can have some of the rain from the rest of you! hahaha!
DeleteI wish I could send some rain your way. We have had so much recently and it's usually our dry time of year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Missy, and better send in some colder temperatures too!
DeleteCute chicks, I hope you get the rain everything needs. It is dry here too.
ReplyDeleteYou're from Batangas, aren't you, Andrea? You mean it's not raining there? I've been yearning to go swimming, but didn't go because it's not much fun when it rains. Or has the weather changed since you wrote this?
