Coffee anyone ?

[Baymule]

Morning all laying around currently in bed with two toddlers and an infant. Been homeschooling and packing more. Almost got all the excess out. Still looks like it be a bit before we can move but that's life. Dh is working 7 days a week. His mother wants us to go in to land with them. We tend to be Leary on anything in that area for good reason. Looking at house in town for now and will possible be able to have a budget to lease some land for animals. I am getting all kinds of anxiety not having them, and here I might swing a raised garden so it can travel with us if we move anytime soon. Sooner the better and hopefully we be able to buy some land. First need a place for now and so got to do what needs to be done... personalmy hate the idea of in town but with all the prices near us for land there is no way we get there this year.

So glad to hear from you. A house in town beats where you are now. Land prices have hit the moon and are still rising. I sold my farm, will close in mid February. Scrambling to get packed up and moved. I'll be looking for a place to buy too. The market is crazy, prices are crazy too. I hope you get settled in somewhere soon, land or no land. Just having peace of mind is worth it.

Cold yesterday at 14° had a hoody and long John shirt on to do chores. And regular pants.

Just had to post that for @Baymule

Cold again today 12° might have to add gloves.

I'd rather have 12° and frozen over 36-40° and rain. It's alot warmer. Booth a 1000lbs of feed and 100 bales of hay and straw and moved fire wood yesterday.

Me and you are just wimps. It's 28F here this morning. And humid.

@Simpleterrier you can keep your cold weather, mine is bad enough. I'm hoping we can slide through February without any winter storms. I'm trying to get moved, fix up house I'm moving to, build pens and shelter for sheep/dogs, and I just don't have the time or patience waiting for confounded snow and ice to melt off the roads. Phooey on winter!

 

[Simpleterrier]

It's cold and crisp the sun just coming up. Just split an arm load of wood in crocks and a hoody.

@Baymule u just drive when there is snow and ice on the roads. I don't see how it changes anything. If we didn't drive with it on the roads most year we'd be shut down for 3 months.that said we ain't had any snow yet this year temps have been between 25 and 40 every other day for 6 weeks. Supposed to get 5 inches tonight. I hope so I want to plow snow with my new tractor.

Got wood burner going we are burning more this year than normal we let it go out over night and radiat floor ht runs start again in morning downstairs stay around 76 with it goin

 

[Baymule]

There is no snow or ice clearing equipment, and people drive like idiots. Safer to stay home and not give the body shops any business. LOL

 

[farmerjan]

@Simpleterrier ; @Baymule is right. Without the proper equipment to at least plow snow, and with people that have no idea of how to drive in snow and ice conditions, it is a circus in places like that, that get hit with a 2" storm that often is very icy. I was raised in snow driving in New England... but even here in Va in the western more mountainous area, there are so many that do not know how to drive and they are a total hazard on the roads. And the BIGGEST thing is.... these SUV's are touted to go anywhere, in anything, and add on top of that ... THESE IDIOTS will not SLOW DOWN. Ask @Mini Horses about the problems over on the eastern side of the state that does not often get more than a dusting to a couple of inches...how they drive and how they just have to go out when staying home for a day would be the very smartest thing to do...

My son works for VDOT, and he grew up in New England and learned to drive in snow also.... but the thing that he says is so aggravating is that the stupid people will not stay home long enough to at least let the plow guys get the roads opened up so that then they could drive on them sensibly......Getting somewhere is just not so important that a few hours delay will kill you....because trying to get there when it is just not safe might kill you. I learned that a long time ago....even when I was milking cows in CT and all, my bosses realized that it was better for me to stay home for the one milking and not wind up in a wreck or snowbank.... so I could get there safely for the rest. And cows needing to be milked is more important than a job in a store or something.

 

[Simpleterrier]

I know I know it's just funny to get everyone's hackles up when u mention driving in snow.

I milked cows for six years driving a 2 wheel peal f150 with a manual. I would have been shot if I showed up late for milking let alone missed it.

 

[Cecilia's-herd]

Just sitting in bed with the twins.

I told Gianna how to hook up the milk machine for the cows and how to properly sanitize so let’s see how well she was listening.

She brought me a coffee but it’s already cold. Unless it’s supposed to be cold? I can’t tell anymore.

The chickens won’t come out of bed so she had to give them food and water inside LOL!

We had a very early start this morning at 3 am with some blood curdling screams coming from DS. Haven’t slept since. Scared me too bad.
