Black or with cream. I also like iced coffee for an afternoon pick me up, with sugar and cream. Good way to use leftover coffee. Coffee is good any you fix it!
Coffee anyone ?

We went to town yesterday to a wedding shower. Went to post office and grocery store. Lot of bare shelves. I needed milk for the bottle lambs. Signs were posted, 1 per household so I got a gallon. There wasn’t much, I felt lucky to get it. BJ was out of bread, again, signs posted, 1 per household and there wasn’t much to choose from, didn’t have his favorite. So I got one loaf of bread.
When I was doing chores yesterday evening, neighbor Robert called, on his way home from Walmart. He had gotten a half gallon for the lambs. SCORE! Last week another neighbor brought me 2 half gallons, this is turning into a neighborhood effort for these little guys.
The sun is shining, 35F with a high of 62F. I’ll put Reject and Tiny in a pen in the barn today. I did that yesterday, they were able to get acquainted with being sheep. LOL A few more days and they can stay in the barn and run and play with the other lambs.

Up here we are normal cold... and the normal more snow.
February and March are typical dumps....
Uh... typically give us many great dumps of snow.

Best get that extra kid with the mechanical skills there ASAP so you can have all possible machines in working order (and another body to shovel).

We went to Walmart, NO milk. There was a shipment yesterday and it was quickly gone. Lady I talked to said the delivery man said it might be a week before he came back. Went to the other grocery store in town, no milk except for buttermilk, so I got a half gallon. Robert’s wife, Sharon drinks a cup of buttermilk every day or else she gets yeast infections. It’s even her brand. Gonna call and see if she wants it. Went to another town, Van, to the grocery store and there was milk! I got one and sent BJ in for another. Now I have 4 full gallons and a half a gallon. I mix it with the lamb replacer. I also got 3 cans of evaporated milk. Gonna get these babies raised!

Time for a milk goat? I will settle for the cows. Maybe milk a sheep?

Yeah, milk my sheep? Haha. I just can’t bring myself to get a milk goat or cow. I’m not that dedicated. We seldom go anywhere but that would shut us down. Robert will feed for us, but I seriously doubt he would be up to milking a cow or goat.
