CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

Well, it was a thought anyway....thanks. There isn't much available here locally either, mainly bermuda and fescue too. I just like to try different things, guess I got that from my Mom...she always was trying some different things in her garden.

That is how new ways are "discovered"! Nothing gets better if everyone does it the same way as it has always been done. One might find out there is a REASON it has always been done "that way" but often something new works better.

I've collected 0 eggs here this morning as well ... but I've been a wuss and haven't gone out yet. It is 10:45 and FINALLY made it up to 0.1° F. Was SUPPOSED to be a low of -1° but was -10°.

At those temps they may be pre-froze for ya...I don't blame ya either....single digits make me Hibernate...

I walked by my pigs three times this morning to feed the goats, etc. They stayed in their shelter watching me, and didn't come out until their grain hit their food dishes! When the pigs are cold, it's really too cold!

I went out at 11, 4 eggs, not frozen Wife brought in another one just now after coming home from work.

I don't want anybody to think that I would think, that you'd think that I was lying or stretching the truth to ya....but, just in case some might.... .
......honestly, I just didn't have anything better to do on goat walk today....

You are a mean person @CntryBoy777

Iffn I get my butt going this year, my peas might look like that in early May.

Those are austrian winter peas, they are a forage pea for livestock....the sweet peas are in the garden, they are getting fairly tall too....I need to get a pc of fence up for them to run and climb on. I'll get a pic of them tomorrow....

I used to love peas... I've been told I shouldn't eat them as they have some negative effect on my thyroid (meds?)... There was one other veggie I was told not to eat but I can't remember it as I don't think it was one I would regularly eat anyway...

Today started out at a chilly 32° and we got a grand total of .1" of rain, it reached 60° this afternoon. We have more rain coming in the morning with a low of 32-34°. We left the duck tub empty today, to give it some time to dry out some before more wet comes. The ducks were not thrilled with that decision abd made their displeasure known each time we were seen by them....
We did get some things accomplished up at the house today, and I climbed up the tower and changed out the photo cell on the flood light. My legs have been shaky ever since. I had to use the cooler temps and decent weather to get up there, because it wouldn't be fun with the wasps flying around it....25' off the ground.
I did find a few more "Signs of Spring" today....
I pulled down some vines while on the tower and found this tree frog.
found this crawfish hole out in the field.
Since I have neglected Star for a while now, I decided to get a few of her.... .....and I didn't forget about the sweet peas either....but it says the file is too large to upload.
I did take out a few ant hills, too. So, all-in-all it wasn't too bad of a day.

Here's the pics that were too large....
