Morning all, thank you for the coffee PA, got a random burst of motivation during chores this morning, and got a stall scooped and the barn somewhat cleaned. Going to eat breakfast eventually this morning and then go watch my friend at a horse show. After that its back home to work and wash a lamb, and then back out to get feed and pick something else up (will explain in journal).
Hope y'all have a fantastic Saturday.

Got the last 4 chickens on ice. Moved the other CCX to chicken tractor, already had half in another coop. Have 49 more that will be ready to slaughter in 6 weeks.
Then cleaned up mess, cleaned brooder tubs, fed all animals, moved 2 ram lambs to dry lot and 7 ewe lambs that the ram lambs were on. Got to rest the pasture the ewe lambs were on. Turned Ringo and 6 ewes out in the yard to graze. Came in at 12:00. Now have 12 chickens on ice to process.

My sister is preparing to flood, has 3 hours. Her husband died a year ago and she is on her own now. A friend is helping her move vehicles to high ground and I suppose she will take her 3 dogs upstairs like she always does. But this time it’s just her. I’m so worried about her. So far she has refused to move, maybe being alone now will change her mind. I sure hope so.

Weather here in VA was warm and windy! Huge sun! Our first VA meet up... We had to find a spot inside to get a pic, see that sun outside? The swap was extremely well attended...but, more yard sale than chickens. We enjoyed our day and talked like old friends. It was close to half way for each of us. I'm sleepy...early to bed tonight. Mini Horses & Farmerjan finally have a face to face.

Oh my, me looking like a Ragamuffin!!!!!! My hair was up in a hair clip but there was enough wind to make it a mess... never thought about that. It was a nice day, breezy, and BRIGHT SUN.... I notice this evening that I got a bit of sunburn on my face .
Had a GREAT time meeting and talking with @Mini Horses . Not as many chickens as there usually are, lots of baby chicks and ducklings ..... it gets bigger and bigger and it is adding more of the yard sale.... plants..... crafts, than it used to be.
After meeting @Mini Horses , I am in AWE of her doing the fencing by herself... she's just a little slender thing!!!!! I hope once I get the knees done I can be half as active as she is....

This morning is brisk, low 50s. So I closed the couple windows left slightly open...the cool inside will keep house comfortable when it gets into upper 80s later. 😁 That's the nice thing this time of year, natural AC.

Have a little area I want to bushhog before I switch out attachments to disc. Hope to hit the garden today....a toss up with pounding posts to up for another roll of fence.🤪 Both needs to get done -- may have to draw straws! Rain tomorrow afternoon, sure need discing done first, hmmmm. So many decisions. Will see how I feel when I get out there. Late starting today but, it's all ok. Not stressing. ;) Whatever gets done is ok. The rest will just wait on me....well, that's how it normally works out. :lol::old

How's that for calm? Better refill this cup of coffee......


@Baymule how's your sister?
