Just toast & jelly, strong coffee...
It was quick.
Slept in until 6:30 and enjoyed that. Back to 5:30 get up tomorrow.
I have "school bus" duty for DGD. In some ways it's a shame since I only have 1 1/2 days of work. Then again, it DOES get me up early & moving! That's a winner. Gave her the $250 fee for her "pro driver" training. Starts next week. Once licensed, no more "bus runs" 
It'll be a month down the road. They have to get license from a judge, with parent there.
Today & tomorrow we are supposed to be 77-80 days, then 5 days of 67-70.....days! Fall is coming
Should be really nice out there. I do have plans -- a LOT of things to accomplish. Hope I can get to most. Plan to give it a go. Some is just needed general maintenance that's been put off due to "time".
Yesterday I got my first egg from the 7 new pullets I bought about 6 weeks ago.
So, others should follow pretty soon. Small, lovely brown. I'm sure they will be nice & large in a month or two. It's all good. I plan to move the 7 or 8 "grow out" roos to their out of the way pen, bring girls up here by the other chicken house. It's near top of my list now. I'll cage the boys, clean out the housing & pen, move them that night...so as to not upset the girls that I'll catch at night. Cages are ready.
Can't sell the small eggs...customers don't really want. So will be cooking more egg dishes for a couple months. And a friend whom I provide freebees all year will be thrilled to get a larger number of them. She gives me figs and things from her garden. We provide to each other. It's all good!! We have some awesome trades.
I am going to list some "to dos" later, then I can make good use of my days off....which I seldom get, especially all together. Shame really because with only one day here & there, you want to just rest!! Then things pile up.
Working on the "piled up" list this week.
Still need some rain......don't see any coming for another week or more. At least it will be cooler. I'm off to planning & my work later today. YAH!! last for 5 days!
Enjoy your day!

Sounds PERFECT.
Hope the 4 y/o is feeling better.Looks like Trip is doing his job. I love the sight! Nice the lambing is going well for you. Seems strange tho, as I am always looking at the late winter & early Spring babes. This year, I may have some early winter ones
The buck was doing his job...early Not sure.HMMMMM....if you have goats AND sheep, you could have Spring kids and Fall lambs. For income, that's a good thing.

The 4 year old is fine now. Papaw and the 12 year old entertained the littles while I napped in my recliner. Right now they are rolling around on the floor wrapped up in blankets, playing.

And this is why you look forward to having them come visit?
Doesn't one generally get a driver's license from the DMV?
Silly people! 3 smalls is 2 XLs. Plus, if you have a recipe that needs 1 egg but you only want to make half the recipe (pancakes for example) 1 pullet egg is great!

We’ve been outside playing in wet sand. I lied. I told them it was mud. Their toys were an empty paint can, lid, Christmas tree stand, Tonka truck, sticks and acorns. They mixed up chocolate milk, mudpie and stinky feet soup. Anybody want some? We got plenty! They will now spend another 45 minutes in the bath tub.
