Coffee anyone ?

Weatherman says it's 68degrees and 98% humidity out there at 5am. . But not yet raining. Of course scattereds over night and off on all day, some very heavy. Yeah, rain predicted but, was a quarter inch and now closer to 1.5". Going to low 70s.

Going to be working inside one store today. At least no running in and out at various ones. . Now I just hope I can work chores between showers this morning.. They can lay around and chew rest of the day. We haven't had a lot of rain lately, light yesterday, so this should soak in and resist mudding. . Hope humidity clears for weekend.

I’m up early this morning, got a 3 hour drive to Tyler. Have a 9:20 appointment to get knees looked at, getting the process started. Only made me one cup of coffee, last swallow had grounds in it. Oh well. Think I’ll have a bowl of cereal. Dr office is close to Thai restaurant and I need to go to the bank. Still haven’t moved bank account, waiting to see where I’m going to live. I’m outa here in 30 minutes. Y’all have a great day!

Do y’all just love living in a swamp.

Nope, that is one reason I don't live in Florida!!!

I’m resisting the urge to employ fire ants. On the bright side the greenhouse that lived in the garage in pieces, was assembled. And I can get some Marans if I can find them. I had Barnvelders years ago and really liked them but they kept having mishaps. Sort of the Aunt Beas (Mayberry) for the youngers
here.
of the chicken world. Ok in their area but in trouble everywhere else. Leo is a good chicken guarding dog maybe I’ll try bvs again.

Barnevelders would probably lay way better than Marans.

I liked the Marans I had...but I couldn't justify that lovely dark color for more than double the feed cost.

I have never had Barnevelders, but have read that they lay better than the Marans.

Welsummers lay better than Marans... and have spots on their eggs. I had some of those in the past.

I found someone locally who has Copper Maran Barnvelder hybrids. That might be interesting.

Well what do you know! Sounds like these chickens were crossed just for you!

I fell asleep in my recliner last night, hate it when that happens! Got up at 11 ish, went to bed. Just as I was going back to sleep, the dogs went off, barking like mad. I looked outside, nothing I could see. Went back to bed. Dogs sounded off again, the Anatolians were going nuts. OK, I got dressed, went outside and the neighbor was at the big shed at the back of his place, lights on the truck. Don't know what he was doing at midnight until 1 AM, but whatever it was, he finally stopped and the dogs settled down. I'm going to be nosy and ask him what he was doing.

Well, it would be RUDE not to buy what's obviously meant for you. Buy some!

I'm seeing LOTS of chicks at TSC now. Plus duckling and turkey poults on occasion. I always look and "want". Then reality! I'm giving away 4-6 doz eggs a week right now. My friends love it.

Control. I have to engage my control button. If they'd just let me tend them for a day I'd be over it!! . Don't have that time to devote this month and I have several hens who go broody every year! I AM going to get a dozen hatching eggs for one this year.....new blood and some kind I'd like to have.

Besides, with goats kidding. Milking season is here. Time, again. Garden season, canning time. That seems to be a theme for most of us, finding the time to do the things we start. Somehow it works with enough stress and lost sleep to share! But we love it!!!!

I found out my hens went to a large family who needed them so a happy note there. I hope to look at chicks/poults this weekend.

Lol I wish. I would happily move but I can’t.
