Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

It rained several times today, then the sun came out and steamed everything including us. Between sweat drenched and rained on, we were wet, sweaty, dirty and quit at 2:30. BJ took a shower, I moved sheep back to the barn and fed them. The little ewes and Panda were hiding from the rain in the Hawg Hut- all 10 of them. When I opened the gate and called, a little head poked out, but they weren’t coming out! I had to go convince them to come with me. They are so funny.
Them I opened the pipeline gate for Ringo and the big girls to go to the barn. All had fat full tummies. Finished chores, came in and got a shower, fixed supper.

Coffee is on. Rabbit show today. Tractor driving all done until area, both kids qualified. Should be home for the afternoon, won't hurt my feelings if evening events get cancelled. More rain.

Thanks for the coffee. Scattered showers here today too.

Same weather day as yesterday.....hot, work, sweat, complain, get to shade, start over.

Animals moving slowly, drinking water--which I'm dumping and refilling to keep cool. It's still better than busting ice and hauling hot water!! Keep that in mind.

Not sure what I'll accomplish today -- something ! Always fencing to work. Outside mornings, inside afternoons and projects everywhere. The goats have sure trimmed up the trees to make a lovely park look. There's enough single trees I've grown to make over an acre of lovely shade. The animals are cooling there. There's also the carports, barns and smaller tree areas in other fields. I have gone into them, definitely cooler!

I need to cut over a couple fields. May switch out implements and get that done. Rains coming Fri into Sat. Will help recovery. Need to do in next couple days, anyway. I like this being home time!

No rain today, sunny and bright. Dumped some bags of rock on driveway. Put pallets on burn pile. Took trash to Jimmy’s dumpster. Then I made BJ go in and cool off.

I bailed the horse tank, put flex seal on the seam which has been leaking. Came in for lunch. Going to scoop poop out of horse barn and dump over backyard fence to close up gaps. We get the granddaughters next week and their 3 dogs. They need a safe place to go potty. They are small, can go under gates, go through cow panels and get into places that wouldn’t be good. Paris has absconded her backyard throne, time to clean it up and make it safe for little dogs. Sure will be easier than putting them on a leash and constantly worrying about them. They are good dogs, just don’t want anything to happen to them on my watch.
Going back outside!

Looks like a sunny day today... house has been scraped (except for 2 really high eves ), so today I am hoping to calk everything.

So far at least.... worst caulking job I have ever seen.

At least the kids and I are free.

It'll look good when the snow returns!

Good morning! Coffee is ready. Going to get feed this morning, it’s almost an hour away, then back, unload at sheep barn and the horse barn. No rain this morning, but 96% humidity!

Already 85 here and add humidity. Want to top a field before rains Thu/Fri. Was going to yesterday but dug a trench for a neighbor instead, while backhoe attached. So, switch attachments and mow? Not enthused but need to push thru and do it.

I'll get goat herd moved to big field this morning, then decide how much I can convince self to do. . Water check first....not going to be big physically challenging jobs today. Tractor, just ride. Sit, sweat and be hot. Doesn't THAT sound fun!?!?

When I think about it, it's better than SW people and their 112 with no AC! Waaay better. I'm being a wuss.
