The rain will be great for you, but the forcasters say 80mph gusts and large hail in your area. Possible tornados? Ouch! Good luck.
That just goes with the territory. In Livingston, where we lived for 30+ years, it was hurricanes with a side order of tornadoes. Essential supplies include a box of cheap wine and a pan of brownies. When a 100 year old tree is laying on your house and it is raining inside your home, eat brownies, drink wine and it's not so bad after all.

The local news will stay on TV, tracking tornadoes and advising people to hunker down. We are on satellite TV, so when there is severe weather in our immediate area, the stupid TV goes off. One time when we had hail and bad weather coming, I put my tractor in the carport and parked my car under a tree. I have my priorities straight. LOL

Usual low 30s morning & hot coffee!

Staying cool today @mid 40s tops with only light winds, so working outside shortly. Some pens to re-secure and be ready to throw a dozen roos into tonight. That's the plan, hope it works. I need to plan their demise. Right now, the hens are just hating this many.

Otherwise pretty "everyday".

Been setting up this new Ipad and I'm just OVER IT!! :barnie I've put it down for a while --again. NOT a techie. I persevere.

@Duckfarmerpa1 , sorry you took a beating on the prices. But in all fairness, this time of year is the absolutely WORST to sell small animals. Along about the time that spring is "hinting" on coming around, the prices will be better. No one wants to have to feed and water alot of small pens of animals in the cold and you get quite a bit colder than we do. Either get them gone before the holidays, as you did with the others that you sold, or prepare to keep them until there is warmer temps and bare ground that is saying spring is coming..... I doubt that it was the particular auction you went to but just the time of year.

Started cold 22 here, sun out melting the snow that we got on Tuesday. Supposed to be up near 50 then rain and in the 50's and 60's for a few days..... Crazy weather.

You are totally right...and now we know for the future...us newbies have to just learn and take it on the chin..I will say one thing...my female ducks are much happier today...and I got more eggs, so I guess that’s a plus! :)
