It looks like it's time to wear thermal pants for the next week or so as the morning temps will be down in the 20's. The sheep don't seem to care as they are now getting grain at least once a day or twice if the grass is to wet for me to cut. Our native grass is putting on new growth so that...

We are only about a mile east of I-65 outside of Cornersville and for whatever reason, most of the storms stay just west of us.

Teresa cooked up a really nice meal for our Anniversary. She cooked the standing rib roast that we were going to have for Thanksgiving, and it turned out excellent. We changed our minds about Thanksgiving and went ahead and cookd a turkey. We got this rib roast in January and it tasted as...

We had two within a couple of miles earlier but it seems most went by right up I-65. We still have thunder storms but so far not any damage.

We have been busy trying to get all of those things done that requires both of us since Teresa is heading to South Carolina in a few days to spend some time with her oldest son's family and the grandkids. Today was the remembrance of Pearl Harbor day and it is also our anniversary. When we...

The Baker Creek seed catalog arrived the other day and it got me to already thinking about next seasons garden. We have enough seed for most plantings left over from last season that we don't need very much but I still managed to find enough items that I haven't tried before to make a decent...

The sweet, fat little girl has already been returned home. I was holding her when we were at the shelter and that was a little after 3:00 so they must have been looking.

The shelter people post all over the place. This a no-kill shelter and it is in their benefit to find their homes. That's also why we didn't want to take the dog to our country since they are not no-kill.

We picked up a Mini Aussie off of one of the main highways this afternoon and took it into Lewisburg to the pound. The dog had only been a mile or so outside of Lewisburg which is in Marshal County. We live in Giles county and they normally won't let non residents drop off animals there. We...

I forgot to post a picture to show that we really did get some. Although, that isn't as important to me since I can't stand this stuff. I even have to go outside when Teresa is cooking it. :)

With your setup, you are doing about all you can at this point. That ewe can already be in breeding cycle and the ram is doing what a ram will do.

Our weather has been so nice the last few days that we took the covers off of the one garden bed we still have active. We picked a big bunch of Kale this morning and the sheep feasted on the older leaves and stems that I gave them.

We just finished watching the movie "A Million Miles Away" that we really enjoyed watching. It's based on a true story that is centered on a Hispanic gent that served on the shuttle Discovery as a flight engineer. What makes it really interesting is his personal history - he and his family...

We were paying $8.50 a bag two years ago and it appears to have leveled off now at $12.25

It was a beautiful day today with rain in the forecast for the next couple of days so I went down to the Alabama feed store. This is the first time in a couple of years that the price has not increased since the last time I bought sheep feed there.

It is forecast to get down in the 20's tonight so Murphy says that will be when one or more drop lambs out there. I have the shelter open and heat lamps up but since they never use them, that helps the human thought process.

This picture of Graceson and Whiskey in their choice of sleeping accommodations in cold weather. We had the pot in an alcove by our front door that had Aloe in it. About a month ago, Whiskey decided that the pot would be a nice place to sleep so we removed the Aloe and added the heat lamp and...

Teresa called the extension first and they referred her to Field Services USDA.

The USDA indicated that the dollar amount could be $30 a head for sheep so I won't throw that one away. On the lighter side, There seems to be another Manning joining the football world. Arch Manning is active tonight as the quarterback with Texas vs Texas Tech. I can't help it but I have...

We have two outside cats and one inside/outside. We let the outside boys in but they don't get far from the doorway.
