Thanks @Baymule
Did I tell you it was over 80 degrees yesterday???? Over night it stayed above 60... we had to turn on the AC. I guess Spring is done. It never last long enough. Today high is 84 degrees. Might find the sprinkler for the garden. Kids made up the ice bottles for the rabbits. DD had a good ride yesterday morning and her team won another game last night. DH and DS got the hay down, about 5 acres this week. Will bale Sunday, Monday??
Got plenty to do... probably should move 2020 hay, plant potatoes, need to get groceries soon. Feed should be in this afternoon, though might just get it tomorrow as we need to go that way for DH grandparent's 60 anniversary celebration. Kids have dog agility practice tonight and DH will ted the hay.

Aaahhhh, welcome coffee!!

Same ole, same ole....even work today. Same reset, different store. 😁

Just checked bator, one egg pipping! Maybe I didn't hard boil them after all. 🤔These eggs are green and have some thick shell. All those that have the blue egg gene are that way, I've noticed over the years. Harder to candle clearly in them. Guess Sat won't be throw out day. :idunnoThink they heard me say that earlier this week???

Think I'll have some toast, another cuppa and get going.

More drizzle rain this morning. Won’t be doing much outside. I need to get more planted in the garden. Drinking first cup of coffee, I need a nice day to go riding. Maybe this weekend, I’m getting tired of all this rain.
Me too. There was a cyclone in Gujarat at it rained here for two days, more than a thousand kilometres away. And one of my buffalo decided it's monsoon and it's time to become hormonal. She came in estrus and I had to take her to the bull early in the morning yesterday. On the return journey she jumped into a pool and refused to come out. All the while I was soaking in the cold drizzle. After like 45 minutes I was able to coerce her out of the pond and by that time I was wet for like two hours. Today I have a terrible cough.

Right after the big pandemic in 1918 we had the roaring 20's, I'm kinda expecting the same thing to happen again so there will be all sorts of changes going on, maybe being mobile will be a really good thing?
And then there was ten years of economic depression, and then a world war. Things were even worse for rest of the world. British Empire started to crumble with the independence of Ireland. Civil unrest and famines in India, civil war and famines in China + Japanese invasion, famines in USSR and Stalin's purges, hyperinflation in Germany, Mussolini overthrowing democracy in Italy.

There was a boom in USA mainly because the Republican President Harding and Coolidge followed a noninterventionist policy which created an economic bubble which finally burst in 1929. People blame it on President Hoover, who was very decent and humble guy. His father was a poor blacksmith who made farm implements. He toiled is way up the ladder. He became a successful businessman. He used his money to send food to Belgians who were suffering from war. Tough times. He was demonised by FDR and Democrats for political mileage. President Truman respected him greatly and he tried to rehabilitate him.


Sorry for this rambling

Not rambling at all.
I’m sorry you have so much mud right now, but I imagine mud is better than drought for the Buffalo.
