Coffee anyone ?

[canesisters]

Mmmmm biscuits
Scratch made biscuits steaming in the big cast iron pan, fresh butter.... maybe some sausage gravy too yes please?
K-cup Hawaiian blend coffee here. Plenty to go around.... but no yummy breakfast.
Can toast up a hamburger bun if ya want??

Sis will be here around 10:00 to help me replace most of the top line of the N pasture. IF it goes well... we just might go around a 2nd time & do the other one today too.
... but it IS our monthly Sister Day so we Must have plenty of time for lunch & jabbering like a couple of magpies.

Sun & 52 out there; warming to 80. Guzzling my coffee to get outside and catch/load 8 bucklings for auction day. It'll be a rodeo then shower, dress and be gone for the day.

Thanks for the coffee y’all. I’ve been up about 30 minutes, slept like a rock last night. I was tired from the 3 AM wake up call from the dogs from the night before.
I’ll be putting up a new mailbox and post this morning. After that, I don’t know.

Coffee in! I might go for more since I'm moving slowly this morning. I have a hurt pinky toe...the story is just ridiculous. We went to the city for a summer reception at south street sea port, very nice, but my boots were hurting me a little...didn't pay it much mind. Standing around and talking to people that honestly, aren't the people I'd choose to hang out with normally, was comfortable for my feet. Walking back to Grand Central to catch the train home (a fairly good walk) I could barely use my foot at all-what the heck??
I just hopped along with DH, who walks like he's from the city (because he is) and kept up, I guess. I got home, took off my boot and my pinky toe nail had been pretty much ripped off by my boot. The toe is swollen and angry, but there's no rest for the weary...I had to do a fire department apparatus parade for a sick little girl, so my work boots went on, and I toughed it out.
I've got a bunch of farm chores to do, and then a final project for school...I'll rest eventually.

I also want to talk about the smoke from Canada! On Wednesday the sky and sun was orange, and the air was a weird glowy orange haze. Our numbers out here were in the low 200's so all animals were indoors for the day, and windows were closed. I was not a happy individual since I was told to stay indoors, and I hate doing what I'm told.

OUCH on that toe!!
Ah yeah, the orange weird sky stuff - when we have fires around here that's what it's like with the added ash flurries. No fun.

No coffee yet, heading over to my friend who has an organic farm and hydroponic greenhouses - coffee there will be yummy and we'll have time to chat.

Taking an iced coffee break, I think I drink more iced coffee than hot. Severe thunderstorms expected in about 90 min. Hung a moving blanket over the entry to chick area in case of horizontal rain or Lord forbid hail. Also prepping for power out although we have pretty good service. Plans for a hen house extension underway and I have a broody hen on about 5 eggs.

You should totally blow that photo up and frame it! It would make a great piece of art to hang on the wall. In fact, I have seen art pieces like that sell very well to designers. Be sure to sign and date it too. People would pay big money for art like that even though it is not pretty to be living in that.

Cool and cloudy today - they call it June gloom - but this seems more than the June gloom that I've known for 30+ yrs. And - I'm loving it - long sleeves and a vest at times. Happy. Last year this time it was HOT. Such if life - it all seems to average out.
Had a great time at my friend's - coffee and great company. She sent me home with a ton of plants and seedlings to help populate the greenhouse.

Got a terrible shock today... NOT from the fence!
Sis came over to help me work on the fence. I asked what she wanted for lunch - my treat of course - she wanted pizza.
2 small white pizzas. Added grilled chicken & grilled onions to both. Added mushrooms to mine. $49.00 !!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING??? The white pizzas, being specially, were $12 each. All the rest were the add-ons!!!!
$25 for a few slices of grilled chicken, a handful of grilled onions & a few slices of mushrooms!!!!!
I'm ALL FOR Supporting local owned business.... but GEEZE. Pretty sure that was the last time I'll visit that place.
