Oh, yes!! If only I had some ....

@farmerjan you will get snow again, it appears. Probably colder temps, too. The ocean keeps us a tiny bit warmer. Just don't need more water in any form right now. Some cotton fields are just getting harvested with so much wet...already concerns about planting. Some peanut crops were down, rotted....couldn't get equipment in fields, etc. We were extremely wet here last Spring, too.
Sad. :( Way too much water.

Thanks for the coffee, on my second cup, AFTER feeding the lambs first, of course. Fat, full tummies and they are happily sleeping.

32* this morning with a high of 41*. Going downhill from there, low of 27*the next 2 nights, Sunday a low of 19*, Monday a low of 10* and several days of not getting above freezing. That means a whole lot of work twice a day to keep water for the animals. Boo.

We are going to a steakhouse in Tyler this afternoon to celebrate our 25th anniversary, which is on Valentine's Day. We learned long ago to go a few days early because Valentines Day is nuts. With the bad weather approaching, we won't be going anywhere for at least a week. We'll grab a few things while we are out today and hunker down. Well, nix going out to eat today. Adding up all the things we have to do today, takes too much time and the lambs will be starving before we get back. I'll feed them again around 9:30, then we got to hurry to town, go to Tyler for some things for our DD and run our errands for the next week. Eh. We can do the steakhouse week after next or something. We need to be back home by 2:30 or 3:00 at the latest! Joys of farming. LOL

Coffee is on.
18°F... nest boxes going in today. Sigh....daytime temps above 20 tomorrow but low windchills and then cold cold nights. Have one doe already nesting, we gave her her box. The rabbit shed has been above freezing so we will see.
Co op and archery. Need to clean cages, bring in firewood. At some point get a load of hay. Was hoping DH could sneak a day off on Friday but he already has jobs scheduled. Good for the paycheck, he's been working quite a bit of OT...not normal this time of year but we're thankful.

We're overcast again, getting ready for more rain, AGAIN! This is getting old. So, will be working today -- more overtime. My wallet loves it. Not hard work.

Slowly drinking my coffee, catching up on everyone....then will get out there to work.

Breakfast? Yeah, had some turkey.....I see a LOT of eggs -- I'm thinking I need to make a pound cake, since it was mentioned and now I'm craving! Thanks Bay!!!! Besides it will use a doz up. 😁 one of the ways I like to prepare my eggs :drool. Thinking bread pudding, too.....

We got hammered with rain and lightning last night. Everything is frozen this morning. The trees are coated in ice. Several lightening strikes were real close, I’ll check fence line this morning. Fed Reject and Tiny, the bottle lambs. Drinking first cup of coffee, got a load of clothes in the washing machine. @CowLady1000 that bacon sounds good, I’ve got a dozen eggs on the counter, I’ll contribute scrambled eggs to the breakfast buffet!
I don’t know how y’all deal with piles and piles of snow! It’s 27 degrees, a high of 39 today. Was only supposed to be 32 this morning! Oops!
