Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

You're welcome! Hope your morning is good. I read your posts and see the issues in your country, it's hard to see and hear. We had a period of extreme here in USA last year. I feel a healthy immune is critical -- as for most any sickness. So stay well. Our farms provide some benefits....and for many, the outside work does, too. Appreciate that.

Blue sky and big sun here this morning. Windows open to scoop up the cooler air into the house. I'll close them before I leave for work in a short while. Supposed to be close to 90 today. That's a good amount above norm. Then, back down to norm for few days. That roller coaster thing again. Hate to say but, could use some rain. We got just enough yesterday to settle the dust. See a little more of same coming, maybe tonight or tomorrow I'm still planning garden planting for weekend. Hopeful the dirt is ready. Notice...I'm not needing mud.

Gotta do chores and go to work! Enjoy your day.

Coffee is on.
Vet is coming at 9. Then speech at 1, co op meeting at 1:30 & this evening is 4h meeting. Somehow we'll squeeze in school.
We got the laundry under control yesterday and few other things taken care of.

Good morning, thanks for the coffee, I slept late. We have been so busy, going hard at it for almost 2 months, I’m tired. Yesterday evening Pearl (horse) walked across my foot and toes. Ouch. Throbbing pain, I limped through chores and went in. I rubbed my foot with Arnicare and Theraworx, this morning it is much better. Got to do chores this morning and deliver chicken, go to Walmart and BJ wants to eat lunch at the Chinese buffet. Then it will be too hot to work in the garden and with a full belly, I won’t care anyway. LOL I need another day off before I put it in high gear and hit the day at high speed.
It poured rain last night, hail storms beat up a couple of towns with baseball sized hail. Don’t know how much rain we got. Garden will be too wet today anyway. LOL
Y’all have a great day!

Morning almost all our seeds are sprouting. Thrilled and kinda sad. Long stoey short we looking at getting rid of the live stock and moving to a rent house not to far from us for awhile until dh job hits the two year mark and also savings is where we need it at to buy. Current house is to unsafe at this point to hold out here just about every large thunderstorm that brings a good size wind with it we having to go to his grandparents house. Just not feezeable to keep it up with five and it was alreay uncomfortable before. Pretty nervous to get rid of all the livestock but at the same time i will have more time for the kids so might be needed for now until we get our own place and can have everything with area to graze and ect. I will say i wont be sad to see the rabbits go so tired of those things lol they constantly some how get out between digging fixed that next was climbing fixed that then they some how opened their cage doors little monsters. Also goat have figured out how to unlatch the gate that was seperating them from their kids so got a new mechanisms to stop that for now. Hopefully it works out for the best and we be back with animals in a few years. Plans might change who knows but seems like its more likely gonna happen at this point.

Good day all. Light rains here all night and still going.

@CLSranch is form Oklahoma.

Indeed. I am

And men are supposed to know things....

Supposed to. Nice when we actually do. I had a friend 20 yrs older than me and female who would ask my advice and purposely do the opposite (because I was right last time) and get mad that I was right. She later complained to my brother that I was always right. He said if your asking for advice isn't it good that it's good advice.

Sad, bummer. But you are looking at the silver lining more time with the kiddo's and a little less headache. If it's like my case you'll have a lot more $$$ in your pocket not having the feed bill.

Oh yeah about 800$ worth of a savings with all saving the hay. One kid has fever and upset tummy another is asleep and wasnt very hungry getting nervous. I hate stomach bugs need supplies for that lol.

@Jesusfreak101 you may sell your animals, but you are still family here. No matter how long it takes, you still belong here. We expect you to join us for coffee and updates on your journal.

Regrouping is the best sometimes you have to get rid of to gain. Set your priorities and goals keep them small and attainable and ask God it will all work out.

 

[farmerjan]

It is sad to hear that you will probably sell out the animals for now... but you have talked about it once or twice, and like @Simpleterrier said, regrouping may be the best thing for now. Cattle prices are better than last year so the heifer should do better or put her in the freezer if you can find a butcher. That would go a long ways towards your grocery savings. It may be time for you to quit fighting the situation there.... and you do have a lot of children that need alot of your time. Keep us in the loop.

A gentlemen came by bought four rabbits and one rooster. He wants to come back buy all the chicken hens, four goats possibly all ten goats. I have friend that would take the geese and ducks and on who will take the chickens if needed and maybe the calf. So not to worried about her.
