CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

[CntryBoy777]

We made it up to 58....but that N wind sure had a 'Bite' to it, fortunately we have windbreaks so we can still be as comfortable as we can while out Doing....except when it doesn't bother the goats, then I'd swear their doing it out of Spite....

 

[CntryBoy777]

@Mini Horses that's where we are headed towards doing, but loose dogs around here, so I want to get the fence up to keep them out of a large protected area....otherwise, I'd just be feeding the 'Neighborhood Hounds' my birds...then, I 'll be mad and the Hassel isn't worth it....so, keeping them confined for the time being....

 

[Mike CHS]

I can't believe you got to 58 today since you aren't that far south of us but I guess it all depends on where the front goes.

Loose dogs don't fare well around here which is why mine are trained to our base area (except wandering Maisy of course).

 

[CntryBoy777]

Being west of ya, front got thru sooner, so more Sun. It is suppose to get in the low 30's here tonite but nothing Colder than that for a wk....tho, sounds like there is going to be more Moisture in the wk too.....gotta get some sakrete and dig some fence pole holes....I wouldn't have to tote any water...the ground will be wet enough to set it...like Churning butter....

 

[Mike CHS]

Churning butter I can relate to. Our ground finally go firm enough to not need to have rope tied to your boots to keep them on. We got some bagged cement today to lay a border on the latest shelter to divert water,

So @Baymule are ya goin back to your old routine, or have ya got something else in mind?

I ordered Delawares last spring, but butchered ALL the roosters because I didn't like them. I'll order Australorps next. I am working toward breeding my own chickens, looking for "that" breed that I love more than all the others. But knowing me, I'll still have some different breeds in the layer flock, I love all the different colors and patterns. Chickens are some beautiful birds. I think I want some Speckled Sussex..... maybe a couple of Polish just for fun....

 

[CntryBoy777]

There were some that had a Great day today around here.... .....and others Not so Good a day...........it's 48 here right now and stil a drizzly rain falling. It is suppose to be moving out around midnight and be dry tomorrow with thunderstorms coming in on Monday....guess winter has Arrived....may be getting a little bit of everything by the end of this next wk....calling for rain, turning to sleet and freezing rain, and ending with Snow thursday and friday...ya move want to Freshen those coveralls @Mike CHS ....

It does appear that the goats are a wee bit less enthusiastic than the ducks.

 

[Mike CHS]

We have had rain on and off all day but we had already decided to take a weekend day off and did some running errands. Other than feeding the animals it is too muddy to even try to to much of anything else outside.

Teresa got into a deep cleaning the house mode so I stayed out of the way after I got my stuff done.

I need to get a few days of no rain so I can dig some corner post holes.

 

[CntryBoy777]

Well Mike I have to get some red sakrete to set mine in. I would get a headstart by digging holes first, but with the rain, I don't want to dig twice. I have enough poles for one side of the fence; I can't get more than that in my van at one time. It's just as well cause I can't dig very many 30-36' holes at one time anyway , but would like to get it done while damp. It certainly was a Wise decision to not get in the Way or 'Dirtying' something already Cleaned. I have made that mistake a time or two.

After yesterday, the goats got down to 'Business' today
tho these pics reveal that a day of rain and being "HouseBound" didn't starve them
This is probably a good reason why
Lightning was letting Joyce know that this was Their time and not the cats; and, he knew she had Treats, which pocket they were in, and if ya notice his hoof is "Pressing" the treat Button; Joyce's foot.
Sure glad they enjoyed their day, cause tomorrow we are suppose to have Storms coming thru and another 1+" to add to the 0.4" we got yesterday. Although the Ducks will be Happy.
Hope everyone's 1st was as just as Good as ours!! I know Mike and Teresa did seeing their Lamb!!
