CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

[CntryBoy777]

Ya have a nice set-up there too. I remember it from your introduction post. We lived just N of Groveland for 6 yrs, on 3acres on Fl Hwy 19....just S of US 27. Quite a ways N of where y'all are. I have delivered to nurseries in your area. Do you get strawberries from Plant City @Gorman Farm ?

We have rain and 38° here this morning, suppose to last til around noon. Should be a little chilly tomorrow, but sun and highs around 47-50°.

we have 80"s today but Thursday is supposed to be a high in the 40"s which is very unusual for here.

Oooo! That is a pretty low Hi for so far south into Florida. Sure hope it doesn't hurt the strawberry crops.. or, anything ya have going on your place there.

Fred - I'm afraid we are going to have to back out of lunch tomorrow. Life and the weather messed up our plans so that we have too many things to get done so we can run back upstate to pick up the ram plus our helper isn't able to take care of the animals tomorrow.

Sorry about that but it's hard to leave for that long right now.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Oh my, so sorry to hear that. Sure was looking forward to meeting up with y'all. I do totally understand, as we don't have anyone to watch our animals either, so can't be away for very long a period of time either. I'm sure we will have another chance to meet up in the future, and really look forward to it for sure. Stay warm over there, we'll miss y'all for sure.

It rained until noon today, and we got .2", not much. Didn't really need it either....suppose to be fairly nice for a couple if days, tho cool, 47-53 for highs, lows are 36-29. Then more rain, typical Spring pattern for here, but not temps.
Really sorry that @Mike CHS won't be able to swing it for the "Meet Up" tomorrow, but know that new Ram probably looks much better than me anyway....
Safe Travel for y'all tomorrow, and I'll be anxious to see the pics of Ringo too.
How cold are they predicting over there, btw?

We are supposed to be in the 20's for the lows until Friday. We have to cross fence the pasture we just finished to keep the ram away from the ewes (hopefully). Our issue isn't the cold but the wet. I need to try and get out tomorrow to drill some post holes to have a fence to hold Ringo (the ram). He is a big boy but we plan to use electric fence as a divider. If not we will be lambing year round which I don't want to do.

I finished mowing about 4 acres today and I am declaring war on ground hogs.

Nice place ya'll have @Gorman Farm I loved hearing the turkeys! We also moved here 2 years ago. From a small city lot with a 2500 sq ft brick home with a 2 car garage to a 1500 sq ft doublewide on 8 acres. Nothing was here but a doublewide, we have worked our tails off on fencing, barn, garden, more fencing, clearing, did I mention fence? We are both retired and having so much fun. Ya'll have PASTURE!!! I want pasture!!

Talked with Fred earlier and sorry to hear that you and better 1/2 won't be able to meet up Mike. Maybe next time. Kinda the way it goes but farm chores and stuff have to take priority. We'll toast an extra sweet tea to you
