Coffee anyone ?

Hey all, checking in here because it seems like the right place. Got four sheep sheared today, and a good majority of my stuff packed. I am headed out of town for a two day lamb show, and then a two day camp with half my flock. Really looking forward to the experience, but not the lack of sleep. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

15 chickens are calling my name. Lol

Long week of long days...took today off and went to our livestock auction. They have a beginning sale of what I consider a "yard sale" type. Just never know what's there. . I was enchanted by a puppy inside...several puppies today, none LGD type...so trying to decide the makeup of these pups. Speckled, spotted, multi colored...I'm thinking some Aussie x maybe beagle???? Later find pure Catahoula. Knew I wasn't looking for that, so this blue eyed beauty couldn't come home with me. . Shame, pretty coloring.
Spent $5 and came home with a couple hundred worth of dig video cams. a box of stuff on a table....pot luck grab bag, no one interested but I had seen one cam in there, found two. Table box was on, too. Didn't want to risk bidding on that pup, so I left.

Cams are in great condition and hoping batteries charge...if not, can buy new. I'll keep the small Samsung one, sell Sony with case, manuals, remote and extra lenses...can hardly lose for the price I need to recover. . I already have a JVC much like the Sony.

Overcast and drizzly all day. Hoping it shows a little sun tomorrow. I have some farm work that needs no rain. Need to till but, too wet....will work something else.

Thanks for the coffee! It has been a long week, and another long one yet to come.
Someone was looking for a babysitter. 3 days a week for 4 hours a day over the summer. I’m hoping she gets back to me, I would love more experience with kids and that sounds doable with school. Even though the school website has been out most of the time, which is frustrating, but I do have a textbook.

Good morning y'all. I'm going to cram chicken backs, skin, wing tips, etc in quart jars and run the pressure canner this morning after morning chores, then get to cutting up the 6 chickens on ice. Then I'll have enough to pack some more jars and run the pressure canner again. That will make 14 jars of chicken scraps for the dogs. Another day in the kitchen. Tomorrow we'll slaughter the last 8 CCX, then another day of processing and I'll be done for awhile. I'll still have all the frozen "parts" for the dogs to thaw and can for them. Nothing wasted here!

Sunshine today! Yah! finish coffee fix and walk the fences. I'll take the goats along, lots for them to chow down. There is a spot some are breaching in back fields and I need to fix. Pretty sure it's a low place and they are jumping. Mares not getting out, not all the goats. Need to fix so they can once again be left there while I'm gone.

Will check blackberries while back there. Should be ready to pick now or soon. Yard needs cutting but way too wet. Later or just another day. No biggie, yet.

Lazed yesterday and rested. Slept well. I needed energizing!

Weather for week looking good. Work assignments look like I can be home a few days....in a row even. Nice. I have a couple rolls of new fence still waiting for me.

Outside chores are done, washing machine just stopped. Eating a PB&J sandwich, then I’ll strap on the day. Got lots to do!

Neighbor Ron called , two bobcats got all his chickens but one last night. I guess that’s what woke me up at 1:30 this morning. My dogs go nuts and I sleep just fine because I know they are taking care of things for me. We’ll be supplying them with eggs, they covered us when ours weren’t laying last winter. He needs a new coop, I need a new coop. Think I’ll strike a deal, help me and I’ll help you. He really doesn’t know how to build a Fort Knox coop, so I’ll help him out. Figure I’ll supply some materials too, they are on disability.
