Sending some virtual hot and sour chicken soup and egg rolls. Get better soon.

The neighbor lady and a passer by slapping flames. My son on tractor with bush hog to put out flames. Neighbors already didn’t like him.

Gosh, Miss @Baymule! When you first told of the pasture fire and posted a couple of pictures, I thought that was all that was damaged. But now with all of these pictures of several pastures and a couple of trailers and a wrecked truck, that was quite a bit more "exciting"! How did the fire start? It sounds like it was a small fire set intentionally and then while someone was not attending to it the wind blew it and it started burning into the pasture and quickly grew in size. Is that about what happened? A real bummer for the loss of the trailers and the wrecked truck.

Regarding the greening of pasture, that is what has happened to my pasture where my fire burned it. I will post a picture of it once the snow melts. (Yes, we got snow again for the 3rd time this year! Wow!)

I’m sick. Low fever, chills, sore throat, coughing and feel like a truck hit me. I finally stopped and it all caught up with me.

You have been going at it like crazy, time to take a break.

I can believe Miss @Larsen Poultry Ranch is right. I have read your posting enough to know that you have two speeds -- resting and "pedal to the metal"!

Son started small fire to burn some boxes, there was no wind. He stopped to eat a sandwich and the wind showed up. There is a cell tower next door that we were beating flams to keep it safe.

I’ve been in fleece jammys for 3 days. I suit up in a sweat hoodie, Carhart overalls and jacket to go outside. It’s rainy and cold now.

How do i make egg drop soup? I have homemade chicken broth

 

[Baymule]

I looked up a recipe online. It sure hit the spot.

Boil the broth, whisk an egg and drop into boiling broth whisking the entire time. You can also add some chipped green onions or parsley if desired. I make it with Lipton Instant chicken soup or bouillon since I don't have "real" chicken soup. Boiling water and dumping in the instant soup is sometimes all I can do when I am sick. LOL

Hope you feel better soon.

For no reason I know I crave Chinese food when I don’t feel well, especially egg drop or hot and sour soup.

So, sorry for your "falling apart" and getting sick... but it is good that the move is done. Usually happens like that... and you have pushed it past normal human endurance the last 2-3 months. Body said quit and made sure you did....
Take it easy and get some rest and all. Not much fun to be alone when you are sick... but at least you do have the TV to keep you company.....

Tiny, Miranda’s triplet daughter, lambed last night, a single ewe lamb. It was dead. Sentry was guarding the dead baby, not allowing the other ewes and lambs to come close, only Tiny. She tried vainly to rouse her baby, making those low rumbling Baa baas reserved for mother’s to lambs. No response. I petted her and tried to comfort her. I left the lamb for quite awhile, giving her time with her baby. Then I buried her.

This makes 3 lambs lost this time. I’m sure me being gone, the upset of my absence and just everything in general, has contributed. After losing Miranda, I really wanted these lambs. Oh well. It happens. I don’t like it, but I deal with it.

I need to find my farm. I need to get settled and be able to better care for my sheep. This is not fair to either sheep or dogs. But I durn sure will not get rid of them. We’ll just have to tough it out together.

I am so very sorry about all your loss. How very sad for you, and those poor momma's, poor dears. Life is hard sometimes, man, if ever a person needed a good break, it would be you. I will pray you can find a good farm soon, to finally get your little ones all settled.

And I pray you are feeling better - this cold snap will hopefully be our last for the year, I know you are as ready for warm weather as we are, tending to animals in the cold and wet is not any fun!! Stay dry and warm and get-well friend.

By the Way... We got our pigs yesterday - we have been slammed over the past two weeks trying to get all our things somewhat ready, still a ton to do, they only have a small area and their house at this time, but we will get them the large pasture in a week or two - until then they are just hanging out. We got two cut male red wattles.
