Coffee anyone ?

Today is cloudy, but the temps aren't too bad, tomorrow the cold hits. Going out to fill all the water tubs, it is easier to deal with frozen water when full. I can either break ice or pour boiling water over it to thaw. I'll stuff hay in Paris's doghouse, Trip can sleep on the porch on the rug or his dog bed. Animals all have shelter.

Coffeeeee.... Bad week--Pearl, my last remaining Brahma, laid her first 2 eggs, began looking a little off, shot downhill and was dead in 2 days. The signs were identical to having eaten one of those damnable toxic millipedes, same as Rotisserie, though without the seizures (probably because she went so quickly). 4th Brahma lost in 6 mos., thinking I'm cursed for Brahmas, done with that breed for now... *sigh* If something ain't eating them, they're eating something they shouldn't, and it's been heartbreaking. Last time I held her, she made her very soft baby noises but wasn't strong enough to snuggle her face into my coat like she used to... Bye, sweet Pearl...

So sorry you lost her and her sisters. Sounds horrible. Hoping your day picks up.

Off to make coffee. Tried to get my workout in before coffee (guilt free cream -lol). It kicked my hiney.

Have a busy day. Farm stuff, though nothing major today. Then I have to get ready for an overnight we are doing tomorrow to celebrate my Mom’s and younger son’s birthdays early. Taking my Mom to her favorite restaurant tomorrow and then her gift to my son is symphony tickets (he’s very musically inclined and wants to go to the symphony), so I will be taking him Sunday to his first symphony.

That sucks Granny! I'm sorry you've lost so many. Interesting about the millipedes. There are only 2 critters I think my chickens won't eat: millipedes and wooly bear caterpillars. The girls let them just "walk on by".

Thanks for the coffee! I'll take a pass on the bagels, we're on a low/no carb diet. Trying to knock off 15 pounds. All that bread, sugar, pasta products that I went to the dance with...…..darn that's good/bad stuff!

Good morning! Close on our refi loan today! Paying off high interest debt and saving around $400/mth. We got about 8 inches of snow overnight. Youngest son is shoveling driveway now.

Will take the coffee in a triple grande size. Keep the bagel . Oh, that’s a hard sentence to write. LOL. I love bread but it does not love me.

At my Mom’s for a fun birthday weekend (early celebration for her and my younger son’s birthday which are only a day apart). Tasty TexMex food today and symphony tomorrow.
