Already 60 out, sunny. Going to get up in the 80's then looking at possible low 90's over the weekend. No rain in sight here either. I'm with you @Mini Horses , would be nice to spread the weather out a little better.

Mowing the yard and moving some stuff from the other house again today.

News just put up a list of road closures in our area, two in my county. One of those roads washed out, the pavement collapsed. Need to mow, but it’s too wet plus I don’t care anyway. I’ll turn the sheep out again. The sheep are going to hate me when we do mow and knock everything down. They will have to dry lot until the grass grows again. Need to clean out the sheep barn too, but the front part of the lot is not under roof so it’s wet and squishy. Will have to wait for it to dry. The roof is low anyway because it’s extended off the roof of a portable building. During the record breaking freezing weather we had, with 17 new lambs, I threw down lots of hay for them to snuggle in and it’s over a foot deep now. Oh well, the sheep are building Fertlizer for the pastures. LOL

I’m tired of rain. I have clothing draped over barstools and chairs to dry. I had put up my Carhart overalls and got them back out to go feed in the rain. At least this morning it’s just a drizzle. Have I mentioned I’m tired of rain?

Sorry to read your post. Sounds like things are continuing to go down hill. I wish we were closer, I would gladly take your calf and keep her for you or buy her or something.
Time to get away from the toxic situation. For yours and your families sake. :hugs :hugs

With the country opening up again, it might be fun to be more mobile for a bit. Your DH will have to deal with his business, but with home schooling you have more flexibility for some things.

I know your husband does transportation for a living, does he have the ability to move shipping containers? We were able to get a 40' shipping container and spent a few weeks making it into a living space, with a mini split ac/heat combo. I think all together it was just a couple grand. Dunno if that would be feasible for your situation though.

I’m sad to read this. It must be getting too bad to stay there. I’m so sorry. An RV might be the answer right now.

Sometimes bad times are just a route to something a whole lot nicer, but most times you won't know what until you get there. Things will get better!

Right after the big pandemic in 1918 we had the roaring 20's, I'm kinda expecting the same thing to happen again so there will be all sorts of changes going on, maybe being mobile will be a really good thing?
