<p style="text-align:left;">We have had an unusual, but much appreciated, amount of rain this summer on Miller Farm. It comes in spurts – rain for 5 minutes and then sunshine for an hour. I think they call them “scattered showers.”</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="https://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/water-puddles.png"><img class="alignleft wp-image-4885 size-medium" src="https://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/water-puddles.png?w=300" alt="water puddles" width="300" height="169" /></a>Anyway, this makes the chicken yard a bit of a mess. The chicken circles fill with water creating ponds.</p>
When I went out to check on the chickens I saw an unfamiliar chicken in the bantam yard:<a href="https://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/wet-frizz.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4886" src="http://judythewriter.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/wet-frizz.png?w=300" alt="wet frizz" width="300" height="168" /></a>

At first glance, it looked like the black bantam, but I had already spotted her in the yard.
Upon closer inspection, I realized it was Frizz. She had gotten caught in one of the “scattered showers” and all her feathers were plastered to her body. It was a very sad sight. Poor Frizz!

Fortunately, she dried off and her feathers stuck back out.

Hopefully, she’s learned to come in out of the rain.
