my husband claims i look beyond ready to pop he amazed my stomach could stretch so far.
How many buns are in that oven?? ;)
I agree with you, seems a waste to go out and buy clothes you'll wear only a month. Maybe you can find something at GoodWill.

Ice! Ack!
What Al said!!!!!!
Snow can sometimes be bad, ice is always bad (unless it is on a rink and you are wearing skates).

Coffee is on. 10° today, averages usually in the 50s.... am praying this isn't a pattern for the winter (which still is over a month of away o_O ) but at least the rabbit shed is buttoned up and warm enough we should get some surviving winter litters this year. It's supposed warm up slowly over the next week.
School today and need to grab hay bales from the farm.

COLD! Yes, unseasonably so for us...and many of you all out there! 27 outside and I awoke to 64 inside! Yikes, turned heat up a little -- I sleep on a heated mattress pad, so it was toasty there. :) Heading out there in a few....coffee first! Filled troughs late yesterday, so may need to break a little ice, don't expect a huge issue.

You and me both ! We get a bad winter about every 8-10 years...and are "past due". I hate the bad years. Don't need it now.


Only 5 more days before a day off. :lol: They say 4 days of rain, including that day off -- bummer! I'll be ready to rest then, so :idunno

Past time to bundle up & get moving. Everyone wear your snuggies!

thats a long time to feed those little guys. but its also alot of lambs to process on your own...
They'll be 8 months old and that will be the ending of the winter grasses, clovers, rye, fescue and others. Then the heat sets in and we will be trying to establish more bahia and Bermuda. We have a running start, but don't need the extra mouths eating it. I don't process lamb. I could if I have to, but don't want to. Going to advertise the meat from this batch for sale, can't do that if I hack at it myself, having them USDA processed.

Had my coffee, need to get dressed and get outside to break ice. We have to pick up 4 neighbor boys after school today. Parents have day off, going hunting. We are the stand in grand parents. LOL So I need to rustle up something for them to eat, they will hit the house hungry! Bottomless pits!

Coffee is on. 27° this morning!! Feels like a heat wave.


:lol: I'm close at 22 and I can assure you -- it is NOT a heat wave!!!!

Now, it's going to be low 50's next few days and that is because of RAIN. Don't want that. Maybe 3/4" each day, just not excited with it.

Bummer

Thanks for the coffee, we are above freezing. Maybe we can get back to our relatively mild winter with the occasional dip into the 20's.

We made it to 3 school campuses yesterday, got the 4 boys picked up and home with them. Their Mom didn't pick them up until 7:30. He had shot a deer, they didn't find it, so he took her back to her car and went back to the deer camp. They found some guy on Facebook that would bring his dog to trail the deer for $50 plus $100 if he found it. I'll find out today if they found it or not. It was his birthday, we had made a pan of brownies with 35 candles on it. So she facetimed him as he drove back, showed him the burning candles, we belted out Happy Birthday and she blew out the candles. LOL LOL The boys attacked the brownies and we sent the remaining 3 of them home for their Dad. Life is good.

If you can get by without the insulated bibs... it's a heat wave in the midwest....:lol: 3 days at around 10....15 more degrees can make a big difference.
