Friday Jan 3. Leaving shortly for work. There had been a lot of wind this afternoon. Apparently a front is blowing in & snow/sleet expected Sun night into Mon morning. Some sources are saying up to 4". I have to admit that I'm a bit concerned about driving home Mon AM. Hopefully it'll be much...

That sounds so hard & scary. You seem to be doing an amazing job handling the 1000 different details. I am praying for all of you & I hope that Ron can settle a bit more now that he is home & a routine can help to comfort you both.

I'm so sorry! My pets are so very important to me. Many days they might be the only interaction I have with non-screen friends. I lost my dear boxer Birdie last June to a very sudden illness. In less than a week she went from being my active, playful wildling to being carried unconscious to...

They are GORGEOUS!!!!!!!

It's Jan 2, about 32° this AM. Clear and going to be about 45° today. Januarys are always full of new hopes & dreams & promises & plans. 2023 started off with a cleaning & refresh of the barn that has made a huge difference in my ability to get chores and projects done. Adoption of Birdie...

Chores in the cold - YUCK! Tues night/ Wed morn at work were tough & I'm sore this AM. But there are things that I need to check off 'The List'. I don't like working in the cold - it makes all the hurting bits stiffer & sore-er - but if I hope to be ready for the busy spring & summer I must...

4:00 pm & coffee is brewing. When we shut down this morning they were supposed to be setting up for another trial. We'll either walk in to a whole new process with a new fiber & no guidance/supervision - OR - to a list of housekeeping duties. 🤞 😉

This is one of the ones I watched! 😀

Down, down, down the rabbit hole.... I've spent WAY too much time today trying to learn about the details of how milking machines work & how to build one. It seems that - from the plug to the hoses - it's 4 major parts + the adapters (plumbing parts) to connect them. The bucket/claw assembly...

@Baymule .... 🤣🤣 you might not be living that one down soon

Cats woke me up before dawn begging for breakfast. Fluffy little freeloaders. Got the hay trailer loaded & tarped with 2 new round bales yesterday. Troughs cleaned & filled, the new lead-out line adjusted & better secured, and a few other little things done before the rain hit. Going to be...

What are you feeding? Soaked beet pulp has always been my go-to when my cow needs feed.

Go ahead @farmerjan , it'll be a week before I can move on it & I'd hate for us both to miss out on it

I just contacted this seller on marketplace. She claims that it is just like the picture (which looks like it's clipped from an ad) I told her I'd have to wait a week to get the money together. I think I'm going to ask for an actual picture though.

Four days until 2025. I'm sure we all have high hopes & big dreams and long lists of projects. Is there 1 thing that is your 'do or die trying' project? Now that I've decided to breed Eva again, I have a whole list of things related to that. High up on that list is saving up to get a small...

Had a really nice Christmas. Sis & I gave Dad a new electric recliner. His had pillows stuffed in where the springs had given up. He tried to get us to return it because he "won't live long enough to get good use out of it". We kept telling him that there was no reason he shouldn't have a...

I had this happen to a calf! It was her very first time eating from a bucket. She stuck her head in & jerked it back out. Somehow she got the handle behind that little knob on top of her head. She backed in circles for what felt like several minutes. Once I got it off, it was WEEKS before...

Every winter I get into a mood & deep clean at least 1 room. I'm always amazed at what I've squirreled away in odd spots. I'm so glad that Ron is improving. You are indeed blessed to have your son so willing & able to help out like that.
