Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Worked a long day and resting. Short day tomorrow. Still hot, sunny, no rain. But, cukes broke ground, squash has made cracks, so should be up tomorrow and next. Beans? Soon? Waiting on some flowers, melons, eggplant....will happen soon since I'm watering. Gardening this weekend. Slow but sure.

Good day all. I have an ice chest of Bud Light since I don't drink coffee in the evenings unless it's real cold and I have to be somewhere.
Thanks to all the condolences about the foal. I'm not a person to get emotional. But it still sucks even though it wasn't an intentional breeding. I did bring her somewhere else before the stud jumped the fence. She is about 10 now and I've never breed her so I was very interested in what would turn up. She is a good mare.

i got a piece of wire in my foot the other day and dh had to lance it last night hoping it heals now and we dont have to do that again.

Odd thing. If it gets infected or simply doesn't heal right try putting "Raw" honey on it then a Bandaid. Someone posted the other week they threw away some honey because it made them sneeze. I thought OH no don't do that. But after 4 years of researching bee's I may be a little more likely to look at them for a natural use then something else.

A few years ago a neighbors kid had a hole in his leg that wouldn't heal after a few weeks. I suggested that they try honey. They thought it was odd but tried it and it was almost healed in a week.

DD1 was awarded the game ball she got a double and 2 RBI. She's a bit frustrated that she hasn't gotten to home plate yet but she always gets RBI's. Love watching her play.

An RBI or making it to base. A score is a score.

Coffee is on.
Rainy this morning. Which is great as we need it. Need to get chores started. Have a dental appt, good day for it.

Thanks for the coffee. PA I hope you have a good day, I’m glad you are getting some rain. Looks like we will get some sunshine today!
We are tired and have no plans for much of anything today. Tomorrow a customer is picking up her 10 chickens, all cut, vacuum sealed and frozen. After she leaves, we will slaughter 10 more and pack on ice for processing. Have 10 more sold, so want to get those out of the way. DD and the 3 granddaughters are coming Monday evening to stay through Friday. We will resume chicken slaughtering after that. The rest will be for ours and DDs freezer.

I was going to say it didn’t rain today, but as I went out to feed this evening, it came several showers.
I got 10 chickens cut and parted out, vacuum sealed and in the freezer. 5 more on ice, I’ll do them tomorrow. Tired.

@River Buffaloes that is a spectacular view. Got any pictures of your village?

I have got some pictures of my village, but not the scenery. My photography skills are poor.

Moving on we are having another tropical cyclone and it's raining since yesterday and it is going to rain for like 5 days.

The monsoon rains typically arrive here in mid June (10-15 June), but we have received quite a bit of rain during what is supposed to be dry months. May is should be very hot and very dry, but it's rather warm and wet. Now if the land is already saturated with water how is it going to absorb the monsoon rains? If this monsoon turns out strong, then we are in trouble.

In the forecast it's saying light rain, but it's not at all light, it's not like drizzle, it rains ropes. When the drops fall on your skin you can feel it's force. If this is light rain, God knows what heavy rain is.

Wow... great description of the rain.

Up here we almost always get drizzle, mist... light gentle stuff.

Back when I lived in Texas we would on occasion get rain so hard it was like buckets of water being poured on your head.

I have 11 pints of pinto beans in the pressure canner. They were dry beans, part of my prepper stores. I already used up the rice. I’m slowly replacing the rice. After I use up all the beans, we’ll go to Sams and get two 25 pound bags and I’ll vacuum seal them in buckets again. These I’m canning now are 10 years old. I also have wheat berries stored and 25 pounds of sugar in buckets. Plus I have all kinds of home canned goods in jars, from the garden. I try to keep a 1-2 year supply. Covid lock down last year didn’t cause us any hardship. We gave away vegetables and purple hull peas to other people.

Don’t know why I rambled off on prepping and preparedness, guess because I’m using up stored stuff so I can refresh my supply.

Anybody else keep back dry goods just because? I’m not preparing for the end of the world scenario but for bumps in life. We don’t have too many bumps anymore but we have been without work before and used up groceries in the pantry and freezer. It sure helped.

We have a bunch in the freezers and pantry... but with a family of 7... we go through food fast.

So, our big "prepper" stuff is knowledge and gear.

In other words... we can forage well, and have all supplies for hunting of all kinds.

Hi all, thank you for the coffee. I just got home from a longish shift at work, while I was at work my meat birds showed up, so it looks like I will be figuring out things with them this afternoon. Still got lambs to work, and my boy to ride. Should be a fun afternoon.
