Coffee anyone ?

Oh @Mini Horses , meeting that neighbor, "again" is the greatest thing since sliced bread... It is so much more enjoyable to do chickens with someone else... not all by yourself... and a plucker.... how lucky....
And to be able to share the knowledge of canning... helping each other... SOOO HAPPY for you....

This morning it's 57 out. Going to low 80s with sunshine! same for Wed. Some rain Thurs, scattereds...then 2 days of 80-90. Yes! Nice weather. I've opened windows to cool house. Will close them in a couple hrs to mimic AC....for free.

Yesterday DS brought the loaner rotary tiller home for me to use. Blessed to have it! This friend said, it's just sitting, I know you can use and will appreciate it. Buying is on the back burner until I use and see if it's what I want. It's 4' and I wanted 5' but mainly to cover width of tractor wheels. I'll try it tomorrow and report back. . Anyone with one, pros/cons appreciated. Today, I'll work some jobs, give DS chance to look over and hook up. I had called a rental place and they charge $150 a day for theirs. Whoa!

Have plants to get planted, mulch and cardboard to use, seeds waiting....garden happens this week. I see a lot of work!! Be careful what you wish for!

Time for feed chores, a hot shower and dress for work. Enjoy your day!

Whoop! I sure hope that tiller works out for you!

@Blue Sky how is she this morning?

@Blue Sky how is she this morning?

Tongue is much smaller but not very pliable. I worry that she can’t drink. The sedation has worn off and she’s wagging her tail. I was up and down with her last night. I believe she might have been hunting voles in the pasture and disturbed a snake in or near a vole burrow. Still could be insect stings, but voles, rabbits and squirrels are an LGD pastime here even though I feed the dogs like kings. Snakes are bad this year.

Sophie drank water, broth and ate a half cup of yogurt. Resting now with heavy breathing. Lambster (remember him?) still needs a vet visit but is nursing well. Eye is still an issue but he is getting along. Large animal vet today I hope.

I’m so glad that Sophie is doing better. My old female GP hated snakes and killed them. She never got bit. Other dogs did, but nothing like Sophie. I’m really relieved that she is going to make it.

Took Lambster to vet. He had a clump of foxtail seeds that was out of sight under his lower eye lid. Probably sent flying as he tried to nurse. He charmed everyone in the office and his future looks bright.

Ugh, I saw first snake of the year. It was sunning on red dirt near kids digger zone. It went under the house.
Not sure what kind other than light browm with darker pattern.

Sadly, I ran over a big black snake while mowing... must've run right over the head as it looked squished... and not cut all up... it was over 4 ft long... I hated that I killed it. They keep the mice down... I can easily tolerate the black snakes as long as they don't get into chickens/chicks/eggs...
