Whew! Tired. I cut yaupon with chain saw. Battery went down, didn’t charge it last night. So I machete chopped yaupon. I cleared around old fence posts, rotted off at the ground, still stapled to old rusty barb wire. I pulled staples out so we can roll or pull wire out of the way. Chase stacked up logs and cut a few trees down. Bennett and Peggy had to go to town at 10. Chase and I quit at 2:30, I came in and warmed up leftover catfish. Saw Bennett and Peggy at their pile of telephone poles, so got in truck and went over. Peggy and I measured, Bennett cut and then loaded eight posts 8’ long on the tractor forks. He dumped them in the field. 3:30 now, done.
Early but up....didn't want to be, however, I am. Slept well, so that helps. Coffee brewing and smells good. Worked a full day yesterday, another today and tomorrow. Busy next week, also. Winter coolish this week and hope winds are gone. That helps.
Weekend I need to work some fence "trouble" spots. Looks like rain late Fri and late sun...sure narrows window for that but, gotta do! Hoping it's light stuff. Don't need a lot of mud and wet.
Better go get a cuppa and start my "go" into gear.
Coffee is ready, got my first cup. Pork chops for breakfast. I’ll be working on fence today. I’m not sore and stove up after my activities yesterday. A little tired, but not sore. It’s going to be days like yesterday and today all summer.
I need relief from the high prices of feed, I need the grass on this place. Got to get it fenced in!
Wondering if I should make another fence building thread like the one I did in Lindale.
chores found 3 eggs and new twin bucklings in dairy goat barn. No cam, picks later. The boer doe....I swear, she swallowed a 55 gal drum HUGE! Another big dairy girl bagged, just not tight but 90+%.....maybe weekend for those two.
Some days coffee is a pleasant accompaniment to the morning. Like my comfy jeans or a warm breeze, it just makes a morning better.
And some days it's as vital as the very air.
Soon as I finish this cup, chores, nose counts, off to work. Team job today, so definite start time.
Rain off/on most all day. Rain at some point/amount, for 4 days in a row now!! Messing up some farm plans for "to dos" over weekend . If it's too bad for weather, might work a couple stores instead and stay home Tue-Wed. . Lucky I can arrange that. It's a wait and see....which needs more coffee!
It’s a light drizzle, but will stop in 20 minutes. High of 67 today. Going to light the big burn pile. Winds 3-8 MPH with gusts up to 17 MPH. Perfect day for a burn pile.
Today is a vital coffee day here too! Expecting 4-7" of snow this afternoon into tomorrow morning. My phone showed me a picture this morning of a recap from last year's photo album, and we had about 3"-4" of snow March 9th, 2022. That's about average, so we will have snow today instead. Ewh.
I have a feeling that if Myrtle is far enough along she will drop her kids in this snow storm. I have heat lamps on just in case. These kids are going to need sweaters. I think I will try to find some online from Walmart. I am thinking PINK because I would love to keep a daughter from Myrtle. The guessing game is the best part!
If you have a thrift shop around, you might could find sweaters there. Adult size sweaters, cut the sleeves off and cut holes for front legs for a boy, leaving a cut under the belly, and cut holes for back legs. Girls, cut holes for front and back legs.
