Coffee anyone ?

[promiseacres]

Coffee is on. Didn't get the roof finished due to the rain. But got trees trimmed around our fences here at home. Always something we can do. Still need to get limbs picked up. Trimmed the pines but also the mulberries growing in them.
DH wants to try to finish the shingle repair this afternoon we'll see. Depends on the wind.

. Always something we can do.

Amen to that!

I was taken aback when I looked out the kitchen window this morning and saw no goats in the "get ready pen". It was only a moment until I realized they had gone to auction yesterday. Whew...no fence holes. Wake up, gal!!

Coffee was good. Drizzly rain holding up some projects but, hope it will clear a little for a few hours. Prepping for some more layers I will pick up Tues morning. So, few more roost boards to add to a coop. Customers need eggs! Molt in full swing. I had some REALLY ugly hens coming to me yesterday -- wowser -- skin, pin feathers, rough looking girls. You just never get used to the sight. The roosters are trying to hide -- how proud can you be when you look so bad?!

Outside wetness gives me time to work inside...and search out some fence and hay suppliers. Need to run to Lowe's and get a few things, yep -- even in some rain. They have underroof loading area. I'm good. Glad I did a feed run before the rains. So are the animals. Rains tomorrow also.

Good morning y'all. Up at 4:30 this morning. Son left from here to go to work, sure was nice having him for the weekend. We are taking the girls back today, I'll be out at daylight to care for all the animals. The 13 year old has been gone, visiting friends and flitting about like a social butterfly. We just figure that she needs a vacation from her little sisters. LOL

Another long day ahead of us, then tomorrow I'll be washing, cleaning house and getting ready for BJ's surgery.

Thanks for the coffee.
Made it to church, then picked up a basketball goal our pastor was selling, kids were excited. Then DH got the last bit of farmhouse roof patched, praying it holds for the winter. Got home found one our outside bunnies had died. So buried her and still got the pool covered. Now it's school today, possibly rain. We still need it.

So, @Mini Horses , did the goats do decent at the sale? I know that they needed to be gone, but it helps if they also bring a price that you can live with at the least and are pleasantly surprised with at best. I di that once, couldn't figure out where all the cows were at the one place, panicked, then realized we had moved them the day before....

@Baymule , I am sure you are sad to be taking the girls home... but you will be too tired out worrying about BJ for the next few weeks. Too bad your son couldn't stay a bit longer to help with chores at least. Hoping that all goes well with the surgery.

Coffee is on.
Cooler this morning. Only a couple more days of 70s as highs. Dentist appointments today, hoping to go trail riding tomorrow. Need to dig potatoes, clean up in the garden. Had rain yesterday so go inside things done. Updated the bunny website, hopefully we'll get some sold or I may be butchering some of the Velveteen lops... might not be a bad thing, they taste just as good.

@Baymule prayers for BJ'S surgery today.

@Baymule prayers for BJ'S surgery today.

It's tomorrow, today he gets a day of rest and I clean house, strip the bed, wash mattress covers, fresh sheets, vacuum floors, mop, dust, make sure he can get around with the walker and nothing to trip him up. Thank you for the prayers!

Coffee is soooo good this morning!

 

[Baymule]

I've drank all the coffee, y'all will have to make your own now. LOL I've caught up on BYH, TEG and SS. Time to get off my butt, get dressed, start laundry, do outside chores, fix brunch and get going!

There's still coffee in my pot, so I'm here till I finish it.
Got in a good full day at work yesterday. Had planned on another long day today but it's been pouring since the early hours, so I'll be home and do some more purge and organize indoors.
Looks like just cloudy weather for the next week so missing today won't be a problem.
Enjoying the fire in the woodstove this morning.

Hope you can get that ride in tomorrow @promiseacres .
Prayers for you and BJ @Baymule .
