Coffee anyone ?

Part sun, more clouds. CHILLY..... was 37 overnight and barely up to 51.....more sun later they say.
Chickens out, will bring clothes in later. They were damp yesterday before I went to tedd and leave for "phone shopping" and then work.
Hope they will dry out more today.
Plans to rake hay after DS gets rake hooked up, hopefully it will be a tad bit warmer and sunnier later this afternoon.

Or a tedd bit warmer Honestly I don’t know how you get it all done. Hat is off to you.

@Baymule Massey's are great little tractors. I used to use one all the time to tedd and rake when doug was alive and I did odd work for him. And you don't need a huge bushog with the amount of acreage you have. I think that getting a few more sheep and rotating around more... plus sheep can be sold more easily without the investment that is in a piece of equipment... if your son already has one, then learning to drive it should be a snap... they are an uncomplicated little tractor and have a great balance, low centered so never any problem with being too high a gravity.....

This month has been HORRIBLE!
Currently at ER with youngest son. He splatted and gashed his eyebrow open. Multiple stitches and waiting on CAT scan results.

UPDATE: CT is fine, going home.

Been wide awake since 2AM. Phooey. I’d get up, but don’t want to take Sentry out or granddaughters little dog. Don’t want to wake up granddaughters either. Oh well, maybe I’ll go back to sleep.

I was awake at 4:20...no going back to sleep got up. Making breakfast at 5. This will be a looong day. But I slept well when I was sleeping.

Waiting on daylight! New tractor parts arrived late yesterday. Hope they fix the problem!!! Not POSITIVE but, consensus of a few, so it would be great if this $400 worth is it. update later. I so badly need to mow!

The alarm went off at 5:47 in the form of a tiny voice, “Mamaw?” LOL I’ve taken the dogs out to potty, made coffee, on first cup. Let the day begin.

Busy morning. Fed dogs, let sheep out to lower pasture. Got about 2” of rain yesterday evening and learned that big trees can mean big lightning . Sophie decided to dig under the fence. I warned her twice then plugged in the hot wire, warned her again and let nature take its course. It started innocently enough as a gopher pursuit then the light bulb went on. Out is on the other side of that fence. I hate to zap her but it doesn’t mean I won’t. Waiting on the propane man. We’ve been told we are: 1) Next On the List. 2) On the Priority List. 3) On the Emergency List. 4) We’ll Be Out There Tomorrow. 5) We Guarantee We’ll Be There Tomorrow. Which was yesterday. Three weeks total. Are all propane providers like this? Is there some propane protocol I’m not aware of? Hubbs isn’t sure about the tank’s gage reading (another pettifogging detail the sellers couldn’t explain) so I’m looking for an electric counter cooktop and probably a new propane supplier. Still all things considered we love the place and this little snafu has made a case for a wood stove. (Walks away mumbling “surrounded by timber and they put in a gas fireplace, some people’s children…”)

We had that problem with a propane company quite a while back. We were on a "scheduled" delivery. But they'd miss and not make up. Ran us low and ran us out. changed companies and have been good every since. If you can change that would probably take care of it.

You can get a 100gal that parked rvs use as a backup. It is managable weight to take to fillup place. That is what we use for our stove. You would need to add tee and valve to tie it in.
