Coffee anyone ?

[Thefarmofdreams]

Morning! Thanks for coffee....

It's been wet so he's been mostly sound.
Kids riding lesson went well. They had sore legs afterwards... so that's good.

I'm glad Richie's feeling ok lately! And Oh my goodness... That gives me flashbacks to what felt like hours of posting without stirrups!

@Mini Horses I'm glad you've got progress on the implement. Sucks you have to start all over, but at least they're finally working on fixing it!

I have a doctor appointment for the babe today... then homeschool for the big, and packing with my SIL so we're ready when the new place eventually.. someday.... closes. All on a night of awful sleep bc DH's dog was ill and woke us up every hour or two to potty.

I hope everyone has a great day!

I just spent over an hour on the Tx-tag tollroad site trying to update my information, new sign in, the works. They updated their site and wanted my new credit card information since the old one expired-a YEAR ago. No matter what I did, it took me back to update my sign in, sending me emails to click on. It was the definition of insanity--doing the same thing over and over with the same results. I tried the phone number several times following the prompts--always ending with go to their website. After clicking on the phone all over the place i FINALLY got to speak to a live person. On top of that, since my card they had on record expired a year ago, I have $187.09 in back charges. I got to talk to Byron, a very nice man who helped me. I ALWAYS speak kindly to representatives on the phone because they have to deal with frustrated angry customers-like it's personally their fault or something. Byron was laughing and asked what I had for breakfast since I was so cheerful. So I gave him a list of all the things that have gone wrong with my life lately and ended with, "I can sit around and feel sorry for myself or I can greet the day with a big smile and thank the Lord for it." Byron said AMEN and thanked me for making his day.

Heavy Heavy DEW on the grass this morning... cool 58 up to 72 already at noon.... some hay cut and ready to be tedded but I cannot pick up the tedder tongue to hook to tractor because my knees can't take the pressure... amazing how much you lift with your legs/knees without even realizing it. I cried the last time I switched from the rake to the tedder because it was nearly impossible to get the tedder on the drawbar.... normally I would not even think much about it....I have lost so much strength from the pressure and therefore pain that it puts on my knees to lift and move stuff... .
Calling for nice for 3 days, then rain coming in Sat with a cold front behind it...Then nice and sunny but 20 degrees cooler...FALL IS COMING...

Good morning. Coffee is ready. I'm going to work on the screened in porch today. We acquired some solar panels that were cracked. We were going to get them set up in order to run the freezers in case of power outage. To seal the cracks, you use polyurethane and squeegee it in the cracks to seal it up. But they have sat there, taking up space. Robert took one and got it working, so I'm giving him the rest of them. Also have some odds and ends sheets of paneling and sheetrock in the portable building that I am moving to my son's house, giving him that too. That will clear out the building. There is a chick brooder that I posted on a FB chicken group, that is getting picked up on Friday. Big chunks gone.

Wow! Cleaning out junk!

That is a great accomplishment, and nice that you are doing it steady-like. The entire place will be squeaky clean by spring.

I should do that cleaning out stuff too.

Today… hmmm today is storming really hard. Do one wants to get up today. Gotta buy a big birthing tub and package. I just keep telling myself we budgeted for it. Rina kicked Daffy this morning so that was… fun? Drama queen.

Does your midwife not have a portable one that she can bring with her?

With our kids,
1. Was in the hospital
2. In a regular bathtub at the midwife clinic
3. In the front seat of the car
4. At home. Tried bathtub for a bit and that wasn't good so went to the birthing stool.
5. Emergency c due to placenta abruption, 2 weeks early.

My baby sis, her midwives brought a big portable tub.

She could get them replaced! And she is, fairly soon, been in the works for awhile. Got a new ankle earlier this year. She'll be a new woman.

Nope, got to get it done NOW. There will be a memorial for BJ in Livingston where he lived for 35 years, then one here on the 12'x54' screened porch for our friends here.
