Coffee anyone ?

Nice Saturday here....sunny, getting to upper 50s, rain last night so damp dirt but, I can work with it. Go to work at 3:30 and that gives me a few hours to "do" whatever -- chores and look about mostly. Slept in until & -- NICE!!! Needed it after all the early morns this week.

Going to check out the nest of my son's pair of ducks. He got them last year as fresh hatch. Told him as they grew that he had a hen & drake. He felt two drakes & was disappointed but, thought mom was not correct. Guess now he knows
He reported 9 eggs but, I haven't looked and want to see if she's setting or just collecting a clutch. Not mine but will look to be able to advise when he can expect ducklings.

In other news -- I'm watching goats who will begin kidding in a week or two. That's a lot more work than ducks.

Sorry some of us still have cold and snow -- it's time for green and warm! Would love, love, love to work in garden. Need to till ligtly and plant. Need some time.

Everyone enjoy what you get today. I hope it's great!

One thing about it MH....if there is snow on the ground then the weeds aren't growing..........I still laugh about the duck egg fiasco with 3 trying to set on the nest mound....

Good morning all.
Had a nice warm day yesterday, above 65° and now back to 30°.

fairly similar here. mid 50's on Thursday, dropping since then. Just around freezing and going lower to 18°F in the morning. High just below freezing and it looks to be repeating that cycle for a couple of days.

I’m awake. Everyone else is asleep. I worked last night and I’ve been up in the middle of the night for the last week checking on Nellie. Kids have bronchitis and one has tonsillitis too. DH complained of a sore throat tonight.

Trying to decide if I should just make coffee and stay up or try to sleep. May go give DD1 another breathing treatment if she keeps coughing.

DST wreaks havoc on the kids. I wish they’d just pick a time and stick with it.

Hobbies? DH says I need one. He bought me a puzzle. 1000 pieces. It’s been halfway done for two weeks and I haven’t touched it again.

Hobbies??? Oh my!
With all that you do, where in the world did he think you were going to find time for a hobby?

@promiseacres i did get back to sleep. Didn’t set an alarm. Just now getting up. Time to put on some fresh coffee. Have some leftover chocolate pie from Pi Day. I’ll share!

@Baymule when it was colder and I was depressed and anxious over losing the baby, I didn’t enjoy my animals. He was worried about me. I’m doing much better and he’s realized that my animals are my hobby.

We have baby goats! Nellie gave us quads yesterday. Pics on Kidding thread. I’m heading out to check on them and will post more pics later!

Hey....ya gotta give him "credit" for at least, thinking of ya and caring enough to try and "comfort" ya.....but, at this "stage" of life anything requiring "time", surely can't be very applicable.....

@CntryBoy777 he’s absolutely wonderful! I needed to grieve and he hated seeing me upset. He may come across as kind of hard but he’s a big softie! He is the one that laid on the ground in the barn to help Nell’s kids all get colostrum. Human kids love him. Dogs that are terrified of men love him!

Good morning all. Coffee/tea is ready.

Looks like this week it will be high in the 40's, low in the 20's. It's perfect for icy condition early in the morning, melting snow during the day then freeze at night. I already fell a few times.

Congrats! WH!
