Had my coffee, did chores, then a hot shower and off to work. Just not into it today! Worked 6 hrs and came home. Cool outside, so think I'll go crank up the tractor and cut grass for an HR or so..... I just feel lazy. 
Think I need to milk Brat, one of the goats. She's getting full since I pulled the half grown kid from her yesterday. Hmmm, winter milk. She just re-bred last week, so I could keep her going another 3-4 months. Then there's 2 more I might have to start milking.
Guess it'll be cheese time soon. Just in time for the holidays.

Can you leave a note on the gate with your number asking the delivery guy to call when he arrives?It needed to come here, so I wouldn't be at the new place waiting on it. I'll put it on the porch and take it next week. I want to spend a couple of days painting the inside. When I ordered it, it said delivery Nov 1-4, which was fine with me, but NOOO, it's coming today!
Got to test the hotwire in the back yard and put 3 dogs in it so I can open the front gate today while I wait on UPS. Sure don't want it dropped at the gate or have the driver leave because he can't deliver it.
Waiting on daylight.

I would like to wish everyone a very good evening
- Cecilia, Gianna, and the twins
Enjoy yourselves tomorrow, for my sake! And tell me all about it so I can live vicariously through you all. Bed rest is sad.

I worked on the hot wire on the back yard and got it working. I put the dogs (3) on the porch most of the day. Since my husband died, when I leave, I put Trip on the porch because he jumps the fence. The two dogs Trip was raised with died and it was heartbreaking watching him nose bumping Polly, the Australian Shepherd, pulling her fur with his teeth, trying to get her up. We cried for losing Polly, then cried harder watching Trip. He guarded her while we dug her grave, then laid on her grave the rest of the day. When we took Parker to the vet, Trip tried to jump in the truck to go too. Parker's insides were eat up with cancer (we didn't know). The vet called us and we put Parker down. Trip was heart broken again. So when BJ didn't come back, I think Trip knew. But there was no physical body, BJ was cremated. There was no way for me to show the dogs what happened to their Daddy. Trip is anxious, wants to be close to me, like 125 pounds of Great Pyrenees in my lap, and when I leave, he jumps out looking for me. So I close him up on the porch.
The bunkbed showed up at 5:00 and is on the porch now. I'll go find a twin and full size mattress and put them on the porch, then go start painting the new (to me) house next week.
Good morning y'all! Coffee is ready. Got to go to Sulphur Springs, about 45 minutes away, this morning to get feed. We usually got 20-25 bags, but I also fed the chickens and horses the same feed. The sheep eat more than the horses did, 3 horses versus 20-ish plus more when I have lambs. So thinking I'll buy 15 bags this morning and see if that lasts a month.
I need to be there when they open at 8:00 then come back to town, pay my Post Office box fee, it is locked. It was due at the end of September. PO box fee was the last thing on my mind then. 2 real estate agents are coming at 11:30 to look at the farm. I'm going to pick their brains on what can I do to make the place look better and tell them my plans on what I'm going to do to spiff the place up. They are going to tell me what they would list it for. Then I'll have an idea of where I am.
The house looks like a bomb went off in it. Bags of stuff to take to Goodwill. Boxes of books that go, boxes of books that stay. Stuff I've dragged out to get rid of and the whole place is a mess. One room is fairly empty, I sold the bedroom set, but still items in the floor. Oh well.
Going to get another cup of coffee, y'all have a great day!

@Cecilia's-herd I would have baby crib in your beddroom sidecared to bed if it fits.
All 3 of my kids roomshared if not bedshared (w bassisnet) until about 1yr. They slept thru the night from day 1. I slept much better as well. Friend that bottle fed did same but had tiny fridge w bottle warmer replacing normal night stand.
Somebody was hungry, reach over feed while lying down, put back in crib. Somebody started making scared sounds, flop hand on back, murmur soothly. No getting up and stumbling down hallway half asleep.

Yes, Trip is missing his herd! Best he's contained when you're gone, for his safety.
The RE people can give you needed insight! But mostly, insight as to $$. That's important but, could change over next several months. Hope they're ones who "deal with" farm lookers, not just in town houses...way different, as we know. Wishing good for you. Can't stress enough how important fencing is!! Only those with livestock both know and appreciate the expense and work of it being in place! Especially the kind you have.
It's daylight now. Having a second cup in a jiffy....open coops and head to work. Got a busy week to handle. I am hoping they will deliver that dam/ rake today -- 2nd shipping, first lost by FedEx...now saying this on to arrive today. Truly will be shocked if it is, no confidence. Why? Well first got lost at this station during shipping. Now the tracking shows this one arrived at SAME station...then out, then back in 2X.
it's a hang up, apparently. Rather strange.
Worse -- ya know how the cookies make ads show up everywhere? Pictures of this implement show up everywhere but my driveway!!
Talk about insult to injury...
