Got it!

Summer here, 80s, so I have been working outside today. I organized my smaller shed, then came inside, sat in the recliner, and am struggling to NOT fall asleep! Oh, and I picked up another month's worth of Galliprant from the vet, for my elderly dog. It helps her relax and sleep at night, but...

How exciting!

Been a busy week, job and yard work. I did get the shade cloth changed on my hoop coop on Wednesday: Now there's no gap between shade cloths, so the flock are better sheltered from the rain. And today I organized the small "chicken" shed. The items I'm gathering for goats will go in here...

Johanna! 5 1/2 months, practicing but not yet laying.

I appreciate that. I am learning about electric fencing and with the videos and input like yours I think I will do okay. Thanks for the encouragement, @Finnie and @Baymule, too. I didn't do much today after church and dinner. My body said "Don't push" and I have learned to listen to it. Back...

No fencing updates this weekend, had to take care of the steps. While sanding: After staining: I have kept stair treads on the right side, might account for the difference in color. Then I stained one side and part of the back of our big shed. Whew. Today after church and cooking dinner I...

Aw, shucks. Thank you.

After it healed and I was done with physical therapy I would walk at a brisk pace at work. People would ask me why I was walking so fast and I answered "Because I CAN!"

Not flock or herd related...but how I spent most of my Saturday... Steps need attention, sand and stain. My new toy: I removed a bunch of loose stain flakes, down to bare wood in some areas. Think I might need another sanding pad!? Halfway done! Second side done, mat cleaned and...

Meatballs and meatloaf! They freeze, well, too.

Very pretty. I love looking at snow...in photos. We may get one small snowfall a year, 2", melts the next day. We didn't get any last year, or the year before, so I think we're due for something more substantial this winter. :hide

My dh is fed and has taken his meds, brother is awake and can keep an eye on dh so I have some freedom now. I wanted to start on sanding and staining the steps, but may have to settle for less today, it's a full day job that I don't want to split into two days. Just now, chickens:

Slept late on my "day off", very unusual. I must have needed it, job's been extremely stressful lately. I had to sit with my dh this morning, as son/caretaker had errands to run. Oh well, will get outside later. Coffee is good, and the sitting/downtime was probably mentally and physically...

One more, flock humor... :gig

Flock humor...

I'm just reading and learning here... :caf

Yes. Sorry. THR = total hip replacement. Left hip was fine, right had degenerated to a point where I had no range of motion. I was essentially in a wheelchair at age 49. Orthopedic surgeon said it probably was a congenital defect. My oldest sister also had issues with her right hip joint. :pop
