Winter is coming -- quilts bring back old memories! I have one that my grandmother hand stitched, a wedding gift to mom and dad, so 75+ yrs ago. It's special for many reasons. Back then, most all were made by hand sewing.

Today is a little overcast from storm off the coast, not bad. Little humid but decent temps, prob low 80 late day. Will work a few small jobs at several stores today....short! day....do errands, get feed. You know the drill! :) I've had 3 long days this week and appreciate that I scheduled a break. Thinking there's a slight possibility of getting a new stretch of fence up this weekend. I'll buy another doz t-posts to add to pile, in case. Nothing worse than running out part way through! If I get DS to cut wood to up two corners, it will be quick work...everything else is ready and clear cut along path. 🤔 sounds doable anyway. Have gates, have hanger hooks, have hooks for wire to t-posts and staples for wood posts, electric wire and connectors for all posts....I think I'm ready! Hmmm, better get diesel while I'm out today! Tractor fuel.

How's the rain been treating you guys along gulf coast? Hope all is ok

Similar weather for about next week. Very slight chance of scattered sprinkles todays from the tropical system passing along coast, heading north. I expect only clouds. ;) in general we are now in low 80s for daytime. Hottish, not bad. I'll be on the tractor this afternoon....my own little relaxation time.

News on for noise and weather....but, they are talking about all the shortages and price increases. I'm wandering why they haven't felt a need to report this sooner. I mean, I've seen it for months!! The vendors think we don't notice same price and smaller amounts is a price increase? Sheesh!! Plus out and out, huge price increases? :smack:rant I've always kept a several month supply on hand of everything. :old

Hay supplies are next. 😁

Well, my expectations of "sprinkles" yesterday, based on weather reports....sooo wrong! Bands of stuff swung onto land from off shore. We are fully WET!!! :oops:

It's overcast and wet this morning. :idunno:caf blew my plans up. What's new?? :lol:

Slowly having my coffee fix, looking at options from lists....not enthused at this point. Bummer! 🤪

I believe Bay is trying to rest....

Hot early but cooled some. I pounded a few posts in the ground early, too warm. Later bushhogged an acre or so. Got all the goats wormed, moved pastures. 18 adults and 8 kids. Been on a lot of area, so felt it was a good move to get done. Breeding starts soon. They pounced on the new area like it was candy. 😁 some weeds, so they were excited.

Have a darned hen setting! 8 eggs. This is her 3rd session this yr. Hatched 14 in March, broke her up late July. She snuck this one on me! :idunno nope, not a silkie! Just a very broody girl. I'll let her do her thing, what's it hurt...nothing. good momma hen!

Hoping for good weather tomorrow....more mowing to do.

Sunshine and lower 70s out there. Lovely. Going to low 80s but, no rain until Thurs. At least, they say......but???? I'll go with it for now.
Never got diesel. So that's at top of list or no tractor work will happen. ;) otherwise my day/week looks ok. Have several days of work jobs but that's life. Well, for me it is.

I'm looking to buy a pinestraw rake for the tractor and, of course, everyone close is out. Really? Titan equipment is OOS, so no shipping in.....guess it's just because I need it now? There's at least one almost 3 hrs out :oops: uhhh, need closer. Still searching! I just know it's out there waiting for me to spend $$$.
