@Grizzlyhackle you are doing all the right things for your rabbits. I betcha never knew how tasty straw was!

@Jesusfreak101 its out of season, but for future snacks….. 2-3 baseball bat zucchini or the smaller equivalent. Slice longways in quarters. Scoop seeds and peel. Put 1 can of frozen Welch’s grape juice in a big pot with on can of water. Chop zucchini in half inch chunks and put in the pot. Simmer over low heat until it’s mush. Stir often to make sure all zucchini is simmered in grape juice. You may have to add another can of water. When soft and mushy, drain the zucchini. Put through a blender in small batches. Stir it all up, add 1can frozen Welch’s grape juice, thawed. Do not add water. Spread on solid sheets in dehydrator. This makes fruit roll ups! Kids can help make them. You can also use Koolaid packets.

Norfolk got dumped on. This weekend more of the same and nobody will give an idea of how much yet.

Local news says snow more possible than not. Rain first. BUT. No one can be sure until it happens. 🤣. It was streaks of heavy/light volume last week.. At this time they seem to feel it will be more volume than last weekend. 😨🤷 So 3-9" again, maybe, sorta? Yahoo!!

Going to Groveton this morning. The truck bed has 2 horse water tubs in it and a bunch of cinder blocks and pads. There are two metal shelving units in the box in the back seat, plus more boxes that I packed. I can't wait to see the bedroom, hope Chris has it finished or almost finished. Propane company coming tomorrow morning to set the tank, run a line to the house and connect the range top.

@Baymule sounds like you'll be able to cook there soon! Well, right now time for a sandwich is about all you get...one day it'll change. At least you can still have coffee! 🤣

Today the temps are making us pay for the wonderful warm day yesterday. 30s with winds at 20-25 all day, so wind chills. Weather reports are flat out saying light rain Fri and snow Fri night into Sat -- no ifs. 🙄😢. Soooo, I'll be moving hay today or tomorrow. We haven't had this much snow, or so often, in over ten years! Still have the generator gas from last week. One less issue. Hope I don't need it this time either! Have a lot of work scheduled for next week...don't need snow roads. Crap!

Might be a good time to thaw that big ole turkey....seems it's gonna be an inside cook and heat house day on Saturday. 👍. Feed DD, DGD, DS and self...sandwiches all week.🤣. Have a pile of eggs to use up again..quiche!

Tried to buy goats yesterday. Dead end with several attempts. Either, sold, pending or not what I wanted. CL because farms are couple hundred miles out. One guy told me the buckling was pending and guy hadn't come to get...but, offered it to me "right then" for $100 more than listed. Passed on that!! One big doe still under consideration but, weather and 3 hrs north makes that a "hold".... Good time to negotiate the price tag. 🤫 Of course, the farms are all in opposite directions.

Good morning, I know I seem to use this a lot, but shockingly I am sick today. Going to eat some food and hopefully go to class this afternoon and then maybe practice if I feel up to it.
We all talk about how fun showing is, but nobody ever talks about getting sick from the shows.

Quiche doesn't use all that many eggs. Make a batch of Mama Wall's eggnog ;)

I don't think going to class sick is good for you or others in the class.

Get better!

Hope you feel better, but maybe you need to stay in a few days so you don’t share it with others.

Cold out but those winds are gone! Moving hay this morning. Resetting a couple inside hay feeders, too, in prep for the coming snow. Had moved all the frozen hunks from water tubs, will top fill all tubs tomorrow. Have one heated tub ready to plug in to supply a dipping supply. There is glorious sunshine today. 😁👏🌞 Preps almost complete. Northerners live with this every day -- here it's an "event"!

Terrible time sleeping last night. Up and down, finally up and searching TV for something to watch. Fell asleep on couch for couple hrs. Suspect a nap will happen today. I need something to eat, along with this coffee. Better see what's in the frig.

I hope you sleep better tonight.

I haven't been sleeping well either... way too much on my mind.
