Coffee anyone ?

I'm convinced that the longed for Spring is going to visit.

visit being the key word, at least up here. We will likely get a visit from spring for a day or two then it will go home and winter will take over again. But mid April will arrive eventually, then spring can come back.

Don’t freak out, just go have fun. You have done all the work, now go show your animals and enjoy.

What she said!

Now I can go help DD tear off roof and reroof their little guest house on spring break.

How long before the older DGD takes over the guest house as her personal apartment?

Today I hog ringed 2’ strips of wire to one side fence. It’s about a foot to a foot and a half off the ground.

I lack 11 feet, to finish. I just gave out. Been bent over all day when I wasn’t walking around looking for wire. I had to stop. Got to feed dogs, sheep and haul off large bag of trash. I’ll finish in the morning and let dogs and sheep out.

So close! But not done yet.

Ok I’m making that now. You think I can opt the orange oil for lemon essential oil. I’m putting permethrin on the at lucnch.

Absolutely, any citrus oil. It’s not strictly necessary, but I’ve found it helps a little and smells good.

It looks nice. The time I lost a dog to predators coyotes dug in and the dogs enlarged the hole and got out at around 1a. Four dogs got out, I got three back one was chewed up. So fence work is worth it.

I'm so sorry!

I'm all about keeping my dogs IN the fence. I'm right on a busy highway and I sure don't want them to get run over. Plus the guy on the next property is a jerk and would probably shoot them.

Babies are doing well. Growing like weeds and chunking out too. Doctor's don't have a set time frame for when these 2 should be doing everything a "normal" baby does yet, so I'm going to guess they start using those neck muscles at 4-5 months? They seem to be developing pretty well. Starting to look a lot less like newborns.

Same here. Heck! I've had neighbors threaten to shoot me!

I don't recall when my girls did that but I've heard that you pretty much go by their expected birth date as if they were born on that day. All the prior development is just "external" rather than the usual "in vivo".

8 days until the are supposed to be born!

Oh! Is that what all of these NICU moms mean when they say "days adjusted"? That tracks. Thanks!
