It is amazing how little debris it takes to give you serious eye irritation, I'm glad you've got that licked Promise.
Coffee anyone ?

Congrats on the babies!Coffee is on.
Got the farm mowed last night...now I am congested and I think I have a scratch on my eye....
This morning we do have 3 new baby polish bunnies.
45 degrees this morning.autumn temperatures are here!
I tried some new eyedrops that I bought at Kroger...they're amazing!
The brand is Similasan and they make different drops for different issues...
I had a scratch on my eye last week and it took away all the irritation

Coffee is on. Still waiting for the mini rex doe to kindle...she's pulled more fur. With truck issues (has started just fine since Wednesday? ) decided against going to the rabbit show.
So now what to do with our Saturday... probably housework, grading and maybe some farm clean up.

My Sat is planned -- go to work
But I see an entire weekend free coming up next weekend.
Exciting to have 3-4 days in a row for my own. I may be able to stretch that into 5 days. 
Heck, that would be amazing!!
Coffee good this AM and I actually slept well last night! First time in several nights. Feels really good!
Need to relieve some milk tension from Daisy this morning. Sadly my old cat appears to be living on this goat milk right now. He's pushing 21 and going downhill for last year but, past few months really down. It's like us being over 100. He's had a good life. Every day I expect to find it has ended. He's pretty much stopped even the soft foods this past week.
On a better note -- my molting hens blessed me with 14 eggs this week.
I have feathers E V E R Y W H E R E. With cooler weather next week and a few days off, I hope to send roos to freezer camp!! I will assemble all things to get the job done, grab them from the roosts one night and start early the next day. At least the cages are ready and some are already in small runs --the grow outs, who are soon to be fryers. Bigger ones, canning. Will help food bills -- mine & theirs. Been waiting to do this for a while. Fall arriving. May not get all at once as there are several of them and only one of me. 
With cooler temps, no doubt several of you will be doing some butchering. We could have a huge cookout on line!

Waiting for that cool weather to start some butchering around here too. Looking forward to a lower feed bill and a full freezer!

Me too, on the butchering, but will take them to have them done as there are 30 or so and I cannot do them here at the house (landlord.....
), and that is just more than I can handle anyway. But a relief from the feed bills would be nice as the big ones are way too big and the heat had really been getting to them. I will do all the ones I have and if there are any left behind from the next time they go out, then they will be the last for the next 6 months probably. If there are only a few I will pass on them. I expect the farmer to call me anytime, as it was supposed to be about now. Sure would like these to be gone first. Am going to do the big ones up into parts since they are so big.

Up at 3AM with 4 year old, diarrhea and puking in her bed. I gave her a shower, stripped the bed and washed everything. Wrapped her in a blanket and held her. DH made coffee, I’d offer y’all some, but I drank it all. We were outside at 7, I fed, the girls played and Papaw laughed at them.
