Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Came home to a doe WAITING to be milked, a herd waiting to be fed, 6 minis out of their field but, in my yard....and a yearling FF trying to kid. Yep -- farms are a LOT of fun!

Corralled the minis, fixed their fence...moved them where they should be. Milked the doe, fed all and eventually, the FF kidded a lovely tan buck. She took great care of it, fed and all. Later I went out and collected her & the kid from the rain to dry quarters.

Packaged eggs, delivered some and more for tomorrow. With the stores being "out" the sales have been great for the eggs. they are paying for selves & if all things would, heck -- I could stay home full time. Would be nice since I also worked 8 hrs between chores today. That's life. My choice & I love it.

I'm having some wine right now. I earned it! Sleep tight.

We had a heavy frost today, snow the day before..but that melted yesterday and everything was a muddy mess. I can’t wait for everything to dry up!! That doesn’t happen here until May? Bredsome bunnies yesterday, as they are all reserved. Chris is taking them to the grocery store parking lot....only to locals. We’d see these people anyways. The one guy used to be my neighbor...he’s buying 12 rabbits..but planning to raise for meat. Trying not to think about that part..but, nothing I can do. Anyone of my rabbits could be sold for that reason. He’s a nice guy and I know he will treat them well. I’ve been giving him lots of help with building hutches info. I’m going to tell him to join here!! They shut done some more counties next to ours yesterday. We are almost boxed in. No cases here...thank heaven!! Stay healthy!!

650# is not fun to move.

I bet not. I get 100# of layer every 3ish weeks in the winter, that is enough to carry down to the barn

I scored a 12 pack of my brand of tp AND a loaf of sandwich bread! Felt like I had just won the lottery. At Dollar General of all places. Stopped in for mustard (only thing besides salt that I ran low on since my last grocery trip 6 wks ago.). And first time I've been off my property in 3 weeks.
What Corona Virus restrictions? Situation normal here.

I keep standing in the isle with the rice... looking at those tiny bags...the only rice left...

And I wonder, why bother! Those are only good for a single meal! I would settle for those super tiny 10lb bags... but none are there.

Crazy.

Luckily potatoes are back in stock... how to feed a family of 7, 5 of which are ravenous pits of perpetually starving growing boys/men, without inexpensive filler...

Eh, it has been good for us, way more lettuce eating and apple eating... so that is good...

And now the potatoes are back.

Canned tuna showed back up, I wanted to get 20 cans, kid that was with me said, "don't be a hoarder " I rolled my eyes, agreed to get only 10, and asked him if he noticed how much they eat in a single meal! I usually buy 24 at a time.

I've kinda pooh-poohed the Covid 19 "CRISIS", and I'm NOT a conspiracy person......but the hair on the back of my neck just stood up, when I just read that the government moved 300 tanks into LA. ???
Poor timing on their part?

Eh.... I keep hearing scary stuff from my full on conspiracy eldest sis... she has friends in San Francisco, and they told her that the homeless have suddenly started to disappear. And supposedly they are now going after those that live in their cars.



I DO think a bunch of freaky is going on, and the resultant government overreach will be more than anyone has ever dreamed.....

But.... I also think that much of this is the "normal" that simply results from a pandemic.
