Coffee anyone ?

I gave Trip another round of benedryl, baby aspirin and Arnicare pills at 3:00 and again at 7:00PM. About 30 minutes ago, he wanted out on the porch, he ate his food, then got a long drink of water. He came back in and has been chomping on a bone. The swelling is down by a lot, he is putting weight on it, but it still hurts. Mostly he is just stretched out sleeping.

Good to hear that Trip is doing better!

Thanks for coffee @promiseacres !

I have eggs I can send you! Just haven't spring for my npip or I would send you a few chicks. I've got great bloodlines!
I need to find some poults. Not sure this other egg is going to hatch.....

I ordered some chicks yesterday but thank you though! Maybe next year I'd try hatching some eggs. I also wanted EE but there were none available for the hatching date I selected.
So you only have just 1 poult that hatched the other day?

Thanks for the coffee! We slept until 7:00!! What woke me up was Beaux boofing at us to let him out. Trip came walking slowly to me, then trotted the last few steps, smiling and waving his tail. His leg is still swollen, still hurts, but is much better. I gave him another round of medicine at 11 last night and at 7 this morning. I'll be canning today, so he can hang out and sleep all day. Finally found the bite mark, it is on the inside of his upper forearm, almost to his chest.

I was already out the door at 7:00. Was up at 6:00, filled the trough, checked on the cattle, let my hen out, went to get coffee and milk, fixed lunch for DS (he has camp today) then to work.
What will you be canning today @Baymule ?
Poor Trip! But glad that he's better.

Glad Trip is recovering. Hopefully he's learned that copperheads are something to be careful around.

I'm hoping to have some F1 EE's next year. Maybe I'll get my npip too. But I would just send you some eggs if you decided to try or if you have a broody...

Someone had 9 poults on CL, near me, and before I could call to ask what kind -- they were sold! It was good. Not thinking I want to take on any more right now. Of course, that was after they sold and I TRULY thought about any purchase. Do not buy, do not buy! Learn to say NO.

Had my coffee early but, thanks for the offer of more. I have a coffee sampling demo today, so it will be in front of me all day. With that in mind, I get to watch -- in total amazement! -- at how much sugar/creamer some people use. OK, I'm a straight up drinker, occasional touch of cream if really bad coffee. But we use these little cups, you get about 3 oz and some will put 2-3 teaspoons of sugar in it -- that's syrup! And creamers. Again, the flavored ones just poured in, as much as the coffee volume. I could freeze this for coffee ice cream Ahhhh...to each his own.

So, last night I made some more nectarine preserves. Free fruit, free sugar. Next week more peaches and apricots. Need to buy another box of small lids for these 1/2 pt jars. I do sometimes do a few pints but, prefer smaller so I can eat & go to another flavor. All ready, cooking, jars hot, rings hot and I couldn't "find" lids. Panic mode! Searched, thought and finally DID find a new box of small (had plenty larger) -- don't want that again. Will buy them today! Will have some corn to put up next week. I need to make some cheese. It will be a busy week.

You guys with producing gardens know what it takes (a 9 day week). My garden started late from cold and rain. THEN, once started, got flooded out & over grown with almost 3 weeks of daily rains...I quit! May be able to salvage some area for winter crops... Hope to as I can still get cole crops, root crops, etc. It is decent here into early Dec most years. This year -- who knows. Weird weather. Noticed fields of crops with huge puddle ponds as I drove yesterday. Farmers not happy.

Have a GREAT Friday....I need to get off to work.

Poor baby! Good sized snake to reach up and bite him that high on the leg. Yikes!

Yes. Only the one poult. Just checked the last couple eggs. They were DIS. Looks like development stopped when we had the power surge. Still a good hatch though.
