Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Yep...glad it's your snow, not mine!

In my SE part of VA, it's a very foggy 50 outside, going into mid 60s. Last weekend we were at 15 morns and barely 30 days.. . Current weather better. Its 68 inside without heater.

I'm enjoying my fresh, hot coffee and buttered biscuit greatly. . Welcome first day of 2023!!

Watch no fireworks, although I heard a neighbor shoot some off around 10....just before our power came back on. Went out 6:15, flickered on 2 hrs later for a few min. Back on at 10:15. Yep, I just went to bed after the on/off thing happened. Slept very well.

10am & 56°
Sunny & breezy - just beautiful
I spent a long time filling out page 1 of my 2023 journal (Bible study, self awareness & weight loss) this AM, so getting a late start on coffee.

I enjoy reading everyone's journals so much, I'm thinking I might start a journal here as an easy place to document 2023 on the farm with pictures.

Happy New Year everyone

Lovely to feed with just a regular long sleeved shirt!

The unwanted, unneeded 1.25" of rain from last night wasn't pleasant -- big puddles, squishy grass! But sunshine is bright and I'm gonna hang out those heavy insulated things I needed all last week!!! They'll be washed and ready for next go round...I'm sure it'll be here. Enjoying 65-70 rest of week.

Happy New Year. Iced coffee today since warmer temps. Looking forward to a beautiful day of garden prep, shepherding and lecturing the hens on our egg shortage.

Only down to 45 last night and already 60 at noontime. Sun is out after the rain yesterday. I didn't put the rain gauge back out, but looks like about 2-3 tenths in the bucket. It was sure soggy when I went out to close in chickens but this morning not quite as bad. NICE DAY today.

Aunt Esta's Freezer Biscuits

OHHHH YUM. Damn - how did you know I've got a craving for biscuits???
Seriously - I almost made a batch yesterday. Since it's cold and (finally) rainy here I'll be
mixing these up! Thankyou and thankyou to Aunta Esta all those years ago for sharing the recipe!

Sipping tea with honey - pre-emptive? or sympathy for a dear friend in Belgium who's battling the crud -- and just before she's about to move to warmer weather and her own ranch/farm (think olives!).
The rain came finally - 1 1/2 inches so far and .... along with that washes of course - got one wash from the grove on our east line - ah yeah - I think the tractor will work well there, and DH thinks shovel. I tried that 3 years ago - BT (before tractor) and HE called the neighbor with a tractor.
I'm hoping that the rain will help the orange trees but not split the current fruit that's on the trees - it will be what it will be. But those are the best I've ever had and make the most amazing OJ.
Got the sheep fed and told them they are staying in the barn. The corral is super wet, and there's a wash to the pasture that exposed two water lines (DH thinks they maybe irrigation lines) going to the barn that needs to be covered before they head out to the greenery.
Happy New Year everyone - as I said to a friend earlier today 'may 2023 be free from all evil'.
Though DH sent me a pic of sheep with sunglasses on that said:
It's been a baaaad year. But you know what they say ....
New years, new ewe.

Hey guys, just stopping in.
Been a super busy week, that ended with a fourteen mile run yesterday. Leaving for vacation tomorrow and going to get away for a rare moment.
Happy New Year! Y'all have a fantastic week!
