Coffee anyone ?

Tired. We decked neighbor's porch. I went up on the roof, DH and neighbor pushed the plywood up to me, helped position it and I screwed it down. He didn't have any tar paper, we did, and we had a half a box of tar paper nails with the plastic rounds on them. The guys went to go get them, I relaxed on the roof until they got back. They rolled out the tar paper on the ground, rolled it up and put it on the roof. I rolled it out and tacked it down. We got home at 1:30, took showers. I ate a piece of sausage and a hunk of cheese. Then I cut up the 10 chickens, pot of boneless meat is in the refrigerator, bones are still in the ice chest. Sat down about an hour ago.

I'm going to veer off the coffee train......headed to the fridge for a glass of wine.

Glad you can finally relax. Wine is another food group like coffee and chocolate and ice cream!

And you deserve it!

Bay you definitely deserve a glass or two of wine!

I did animal chores, cooked supper and just got that glass of wine. I'm not much of a wine drinker, but sometimes I enjoy the relaxing effect.

You should sleep really, really well tonight!

Coffee on. DH is bringing home the hay wagon before work. Then after work he is off to a school for work. 2 days kids and I can sleep in, and Friday a camping trip.

Bay -- you sure deserved the wine!! I love a glass at night, helps me go to sleep. Hot days outside, a beer sure is nice. I believe it's the hops that satisfies. Then a shower.

Ridgetop -- I'm with you!! Whoever did the orig food group thing just needed more clarity!

Promise...nice. A camping trip is fun. I just finished several days of off the "work" schedule and today gotta go back. Bummer!!

Milking went well yesterday. The girls were looking for relief, so some resistance but, nothing huge -- well, after the first few squirts and some food in the bucket The 4 boys have decided they are OK but, still sing out sometimes. They are eating, drinking and running about. 1/4 acre of nice grasses & weeds...plus a touch of pellets....they are fine.

One doe still has twin doelings, two have a single -- one had twins both pulled, one in milk at 15 months out & her doeling will still nurse! So last 2 get milked, 2X day & other 3 will be 1X -- until their kids wean. Probably will keep 2 going for a while. Confused yet? I'll milk to make some cheeses, cream, butter, use fresh -- then slack off to 2 into Fall. Then will dry off before kidding starts.

Speaking of milking -- better get out there! Running late. I will have to adjust my own schedule now.

Relaxed or baked in the hot sun??

You have a super busy day!!!
