Coffee anyone ?

I slept until 7. Sunny outside, going to be a crisp lovely day. We went to Sulphur Springs yesterday and got feed, ate a sandwich at Arby's and meandered our way home, stopping at Robert and Sharon's to visit. We unloaded at the sheep barn, then at the horse barn. We managed to blow the whole day on something that normally we are there at 8:00 when the feed store opens, home by 9:30 and unloaded by 10:00. LOL On our agenda for today, build a small pen for Pearl so I can feed her twice a day without Prince running her off her feed. Been putting her in the pasture behind the barn, but the rye and clover I sowed is coming up and I got to keep her off of it.

It's OK to blow a day now and then!

Thanks for the coffee. I splurged on heavy cream for Thanksgiving so am enjoying what's left in my cup.
If the sun shines, even a little I'll ride, otherwise I have a project I started 25 years ago that I pulled out yesterday to noodle over.
Hate to be such a fair weather sissy, but there ya go.

Coffee is on.
Finished antibiotics for Daisy last night so praying she's all better. She still had some nasal discharge. But no fever for several days.
Got our Christmas tree up and got a load of firewood brought in.
Been working on Christmas shopping, online mostly. Kid's aren't getting a ton as Ranger is a big part of their Christmas.
Not sure plans today, might go over to the farm. We'll see. Still not feeling 100%...

Thanks for the coffee. CMT had a Dolly Parton movie marathon yesterday so we binge watched Dolly Parton. We did get Pearl's pen built and it worked splendidly. We stayed up to 12:30 AM watching Unlikely Angel, which neither of us had ever seen. There is no such thing as too much Dolly Parton!

Today we are going to take the stack of feed bags out of the horse feed room, cut the bottom off, cut them open, fold in half and put in a dog food bag. I use them in the garden to keep down weeds and have a tendency to toss them in an untidy pile until they hamper movement. LOL No Dolly Parton movie marathon, which is a good thing, I guess or we'd get nothing done.

Atwoods has the big tins of popped popcorn for $4.99 so we are going to get the granddaughters one each. Any excuse to go to Atwoods is a good one!

I got my first egg yesterday from the new red sex link pullets. I have 9, did have 12, but a snake got 3 before we caught it in the coop, got Paris and she killed it. Then the pigs ate it. Celebrating the first egg!

No Christmas shopping here. Only 18 y/o DGD gets a gift and she likes $. done.

It was 37 this am, with light frost so had already been warming. Sure felt colder! I am taking today slow...after working some long days all week. Besides, another 10 hr day on Monday. Then really slack. My coffee is great this morning! I'm looking at what I need to get worked here on the farm next week. More hay coming in today...heavy stock up.

Something will be going in the oven later....a roast? A quiche? A pan of brownies? All!!

I have to cook supper tonight, no leftovers. Maybe a pot of chili.

Coffee is on.
Can't say we got a ton of things done but did get the tree up and decorated. DH took a few things to the farm, got the trampoline tore down. And got some rest.
Today school and speech. Taking some rabbits to cull buyer...only one is big enough to butcher....bad thing about raising small breeds. Got a potential buyer coming tonight. But need to start planning more litters. And have an opportunity to get a couple more NZ does from a friend so need cages.

Thanks for the coffee! The sun is up, it's going to be a nice day, high in the 60's. We didn't do the feed sacks yesterday, BJ didn't feel like it. It got cloudy, the wind had a bite to it and he didn't want to be out in the cold. It's busy work, I try to find things for him to do so he can feel useful. While he does that, I plan on cleaning out a chicken coop, then leveling it up. I want to add onto it with a hoop run, then build a 10x12' coop. That would give me 2 coops with a run between them.

PA are you feeling better?

PA are you feeling better?

Mostly. I have a headache but no sore throat at this time.
