Morning. Coffee is on.
Temps were above freezing, so getting rain at this time on top of inches of snow... temps to drop this afternoon.... schools are closing... good day to stay home.

Morning all. We got about 5" of snow last overnight. Planning on doing a few chores and then going and digging out my mom.

Stay warm!

We had a loss on the farm yesterday. One of our hair sheep passed away very unexpectedly. Today we have a lot to do because of that. I’m not sure why, but I’m pretty sure it was due to the cold (we will know more today). She has shelter and warmth and others to snuggle with. But was acting ornery about it.

Add in homeschool typical things and dishes because I couldn’t do them due to dealing with all of that, and it’s a busy day today.

Sorry about the loss of your sheep. It seems that the cold is picking off people's livestock this winter. She had shelter and warmth and didn't use it. Stubborn. Sounds like some people I know.

The news is showing snow, but the ground is warm so it is not sticking.

We are having driveway work done. First he laid down 10 loads of red dirt to raise the level and provide a good bed for the crushed concrete. He brought out his bull dozer and packed each load. Today comes the crushed concrete. We have done the driveway in sections. This is the biggest and most expensive yet.

I remember when we had our driveway put in. Ugh! It was such a process. We did a very similar set up. Hope it’s completed quickly.

We had the front done first. The county will put in 40' of culvert. So we got 2 twenty footers and had the county put them in. Plenty of swing room for truck and trailers. They ran the red dirt and crushed concrete right up to the fence posts, but cannot do anything past the county right of way. We were thrilled. We later had another load dumped which brought it almost to the gate. The front gate is deeply recessed for truck/trailer room. Then we had the circle in front of the house done, but no red dirt laid down first and the sand is eating the crushed concrete.
When they get done today we have to rehang the gate, it will be set too low to clear the new road.

Coffeeeez! And a funny? Last night, I was reading lists of things called Mondegreens, which are mis-hearings, mostly in songs or spoken poetry. It was pretty funny to read the actual lyric then what folks thought they heard. I was holding it together until I saw one from an old Eddie Money song, then I almost fell off my chair: "I've got two chickens with parrot eyes."

I forget sometimes that I'm old ROFL For those who haven't heard the song, the original line is "two tickets to paradise"

Is that just red clay dirt or is it iron ore?

I didn't see any ore rocks or gravel. It is not pure clay, more of a mix of sand and clay. It poured rain last night and it is still packed hard.
