Coffee anyone ?

Good morning all. Starbucks house blend with cocoa and a bit of brown sugar. 32 so no water bunk issues. Six dogs and 22 chickens fed. Ewes and lambs all good. We’ve had 19 lambs in the last 6 weeks. I don’t like to lamb this time of year but that’s how it worked out. Some of the ewes are back in heat, still nursing. That’s never happened. So I had to start a bachelor flock as last year’s boys were rambunctious .
Sorting everyone out by myself was a days long headache. Elaborate schemes involving feed, crook work and lots of walking were foiled by gates I forgot to close and rams that launched themselves over fences from round bales or crawled under the trailer (I guess). I had them separated 4 times only to find them together and smirking. At one point I questioned whether or not I’d had a minor stroke given all the t’s I’d forgotten to cross. Also lost my car at Walmart-welcome to old ladyhood Blue. Yesterday we sold 15 rams thank goodness. But only after a minor loading rodeo that left me with a bit of whiplash and an almost broken finger. (Crooked a ram mid air by a horn directly into the trailer boy was he confused). So peace has returned to the flock. This morning’s walkabout with flock and dogs reminded me that most days shepherding is easy. And thanks to Holly who helped me find MY silver Nissan. I swear someone moved it.

Morning all, did some much needed shoe shopping yesterday the two older kids and the youngest girl were at the park with my parents and sadly I got the wrong size for my oldest. They fit perfectly but no grow room so going to exchange them for the next size up. Put in a curbside order for groceries and ordered more clothes for baby boy as he so fat already he is just about maxed out some of his clothes. I had just bought them last month so that was no cool I went and ordered two sizes up from his current set. Went over budget with dh this morning before he left for work. Going to take it easy today for the most part just some mild cleaning, organizing, getting ready for the school week, also making a meal plan and possibly baking some goodies since its cold and that mean I can turn off heater and just heat the house using the oven. Yesterday was the first time in four years we only had two kids with us, it was strangely quite and so we had some what of a date lol. Original plan was just to have the baby but our 3 year old couldn't handle the separation and that's okay we made it work. Need to find some snack recipes my pickiest eater will eat and some other recipes he like. He even picker now that his back molars are coming in. funny bit is he is six so he should also start losing some teeth lol. If ya'll have any recipes that would work feel free to share, I'll be looking on pinterest a lot lol.

turned on dishwasher and made coffee.

You make coffee in the dishwasher? I'd love to see a video of that

There is no vent a hood over the range top at the Groveton house.

Definitely need one, and get one that vents outside. No sense blowing the steam and smells back in the house.

Also lost my car at Walmart

BTDT in a bigger mall, the kind you go in one store and come of the mall from a different store about a mile away. Advantage of our two newest cars - locater on the phone app I track DW on her way home to see when I should turn on the outside light. Of course, unless she is pretty late, it is still light enough when she gets here, not like mid December.

ordered more clothes for baby boy as he so fat already he is just about maxed out some of his clothes.

Given how many kids you have I would think you would have more than plenty of clothes for a younger kid!

Lol I gave
most of the baby boy clothes to my brother about two-three years ago when he had his first born. At that time I was pregnant with my youngest daughter and didmy plan to have more this time I am packing all things just in case lol.

Nice day! 29, sunshine, going 40s, melting more snow! . VDOT still sanding roads. The melted snow, water refreeze at night is more the issues now. All something workable.

That's good but, they say another set up for this coming weekend, like last two. . Rain from south, meeting cold from north, moisture turns to snow! Can't believe it. 3 weeks in a row. This isn't fair. . I don't want to be a meeting place anymore.

So having coffee, thinking about breakfast...there's a piece of cold pizza from last night that's looking pretty good.

Wonder of wonders!! Above freezing this morning AND going to low 50s. It's only a one day event though. Need to go dump the 2" sheets of ice from water tubs and refresh while I can! Everyone will appreciate it. Then fresh freeze won't be so thick.

Yesterday I found where my pullets have started to lay....on my back porch! . It's convenient to collect but, will need addressing. Time to coop train elsewhere.

Time to coop train elsewhere.

Right, like in a basket on your kitchen counter!

Last weekend we had .8", I saw on NWS map Norfolk got dumped on. This weekend more of the same and nobody will give an idea of how much yet. Ice in the bottles ice in the bowels. I did get the new carport cover put on. I gave those fool rabbits lots of straw figuring it's so cold and the wind...they're eating it.
Supposed to be 14 tomorrow morning.
