Coffee anyone ?

I still have ice in my water bunks this evening. Bailey not doing too well. New dog is keeping her company.

Last 2 days or so waterers have been liquid in the morning.


And yes, I still have bunches of snow.

It’s so hard to watch our friends decline. I know you are doing your best to make all her days, good days.

6:00, I woke up at 5:30, coffee is making. Going to warm up to 58F and be partly sunny. Today @Hideaway Pines and her husband are coming to help build fence. We have the Tposts driven in, H brace set to hang the 16’ gate on, so putting the sheep and goat wire up should go good. One side fence is field fence, set a foot or two off the ground. So we’ll have to hog ring a wire skirt to keep dogs and lambs in the fence. It’s gonna be a BYH party today!

@Blue Sky didn't you say Bailey took a tumble recently? Well let me tell ya, that can make your body downright sore all over for a few days! As we age...stiff and sore. I hope she's feeling better soon. Here at "geriatric acres" I watch as my old minis slow. Sad but also a compliment to their long life and wanting to live it. We accommodate with love.

This morning it's overcast. Cold. A damp cold as a front moves east and so far just south of my farm. There's been a few spots if rain, just sputtery stuff that you see on a windshield or hits your face on occasion. I mean, goats are outside eating hay -- keyword, outside! So, not raining really. . But enlisted my DS help to get a half ton of hay picked up and put away. He owed me after laundry! No guilt here! I drove.

Now I'm lounging, contemplating the huge turkey to put in oven in couple hrs...heat house while dinner cooks -- and lunches next week. DD at work so I'll have a panful of dinner & lunches for her, too. We're talking a 27# bird. I was only thinking of the 39 a pound when it was bought!! .

Checking schedule...big work week full of projects. So hay, feed, precooks all being done. It's the only way I can do it. . But wouldn't change a thing...except maybe a lottery win.

Sounds like you'll be having turkey "anything" for weeks!

It made 11°F today ... and I have to take DW's cat to the vet at 3. Still not allowed to go in so I guess I'll head over to the farm and yard, get a couple of bags of layer pellets and see if they have the ProPac dry cat food back in.

@Mini Horses large Turkey or small dinosaur

 

[Mini Horses]

As it goes, the turkey was delish! Gave half to DD for her and DGD to enjoy. DS and I had supper and sandwich slices for week. Chopped rest and froze in broth for another time. Have a jar of rendered fat in frig and will boil carcass for broth, and strained scrap parts go to cats. Talk about sharing?

Awake...can't get back to sleep. 4 am so I'm checking online mail, forums, then up for local TV news. Hot coffee and wait for daylight to do chores, eat something, then off to work. This is gonna be a long day. . Betcha I'll sleep tonight!

So how's your day going??

Y’all I’m going to be drinking so much coffee starting Wednesday. Fair is here starting tomorrow night and I am so scared. My birds will probably embarrass me again and so will my goat. She like to eat the dirt in the show ring so this will probably go bad. But I gave Frappe a hair cut last night. Look good? I can’t get it to blend any more…
