Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Good job on dog food! We rarely see those 10# bags at that price around here. Got some a couple months back at 39per# for daughter to use for her dogs. Guess too many buy it here to discount??

This is a weekend at home for me. Need to be here and get some farm things done. Looking forward to it. Had some long days at work this week, so this will be a nice diversion -- work for self! Switching implements will be chore And I see 3 being used in next two days.

I need to run to Walmart quickly this morn...dry cat food and a bag of scratch feed. They have 50# for $11. Want to buy one and check quality. TSC has gone from $10.49 to $15.39 in past 6 months! Not acceptable. Plus DD can get an employee discount. I buy BOSS there all the time. Same brand, just several dollars less.

Bought more coffee at a groc store, at 50% off, now I have enough to go thru winter. Winter prep, ya know? Have several hundred tea bags...plenty of sugar, flour, yeast, paper and cleaning products. Only more laundry detergents to stock. Food good. Pretty ready with most stockpiles.

Have some coffee, it's wake up time!

Didn't put up the charger today. Went grocery shopping, got 6 more 10# bags of chicken. We brought it home put it all away and went to Van and ate Mexican food for lunch. Home, nap, went to Tyler to watch RESPECT, the movie about Aretha Franklin's life. It was good.

Coffee is ready. Got 2 bags of chicken leg quarters to can today. Another day in the kitchen for the dogs.

Well, missed your coffee since I slept until 7:30! Felt good...made coffee and enjoying it now. Foggy outside. Farmer baled yesterday...across the street.

Yesterday, DS switched out the backhoe to bushhog....nice but surprised me. He was gone, so I did some mowing. It is so THICK and tall, it stalls out the mower. We've just had so much rain this past month, so much fertilizer watered in....animals, ya know. I mowed a few strips to be able to put up a fence and a small field so a couple minis could walk through their areas. I don't want to complain about pasture grass but, I'm overrun!

Need to go to some lower fields today and study the situation there.....Everyone is in good flesh out there!

@farmerjan -- at what point am I hoping to stockpile for winter, with live grass? This is really beyond my normal this year. I can see graze but, nutritionally? Geesh. I'm seriously knee deep...make hay stuff. Heartbreaking! No, neighbor won't cut or bale for me....expensive equipment and not at all willing. Even hard to buy from him if you don't want 500 bale's at a clip. There's always a haystack!! Remember those?

Coffee is ready. I’m not canning chicken today! I’ve got 6 more 10# bags in the freezer but they can wait. Gonna call this morning and check on when pigs are ready for pick up. Then schedule pick up, delivery and collecting a check. Money in the bank, then we will get the diesel tank filled up.

I put Ringo with 5 of the young ewes yesterday. They will be 7 months old in a couple of days. I kept out the 2 registered ewes for now, they need another month or two. I also kept out twin ewes, they are 6 months old and small. If they don’t get a growth spurt, I may take them to auction. Really thinking about that. If their momma has small lambs again, she will go too, along with her next set of lambs. I put Panda the wether with them, he was upset at being separated but I didn’t know how Ringo would react to him. The six big girls can graze, eat, relax until their babies come. Miranda looks like a bulldozer with the blade down. Limping on her back foot, she somehow damaged her hoof. She let me lift and trim it with no restraint, unheard of for her. I squirted betadine on it. Still limping but not near as bad. She is loving her belly rubs right about now.

I'm in a stay home day mood. Moved work around to different dates. Nice I can do that. Get diesel and do another farm day.

Hot tea this morning. Relaxing.

Sometimes @Mini Horses , you just need a down day. I know there are days I get like that.... luckily I don't have so many farms to push hard anymore... and I try to schedule "down days" inbetween... but that is as much for the knees as anything. For you, maybe getting some stuff done for the next few days before the rain from the hurricane comes....like the mowing, takes prominence this day. Great that you can reschedule your stuff somewhat too.

 

[Mini Horses]

Yep...mowing for sure. Yard partly done, some "paths" into fields

Had some down time over weekend but some stuff needs doing.

My work in stores can get pretty intense at times....mentally, with tiny technical crap. Needed a break. More heavy stores next week, so prepping myself.
