Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Awoke at 4:20, said nope! Back to up at 8. My body needed the rest from too many hrs at work this week. Having hot tea as I didn't want to wait on a pot of coffee to brew. Still waking, slowly.

Winds were strong late day and all night -- woke me up strong a couple times. From north and temps dropped fast into 20s. No idea why that happened, reports were for better stuff! Still a steady 10-12 mph. I'll just stay inside another hr or so.

No plans. I'm taking a mental day off!! Will run the dishwasher, do couple loads of laundry, basic animal chores and " just loaf around". Rest.

Wind howled here all afternoon and into the night yesterday, too... Fairly calm out there so far, supposed to be calm all day. Temps dropped to 19 last night.... BRRR
Sun is out, temps only into low 40's... still the sun is nice... with no wind the cooler temps won't be so "cold"...

Coffee done, breakfast done but with a small snag - the igniter on the griddle didn't click at all - so switched breakfast up some instead of the usual. Sheep out in the pasture for now because the weather is finally what it's supposed to be - spring-like and not roasting summer.
Thought I'd share something I learned (the easy way thank God).
Gloves. I always have them and use them. They have saved me more times than I can even begin to count.
The other day however, I learned something. I was reaching for something and the glove got caught on something else. No big deal, but it showed me a possible problem.
Take a look:

DH's glove on the left, my now modified glove on the right. Yup - ya' see that
"Adjustment strap" - the one I don't think anyone uses? Yeah - that's where
something slid under. If it had been an emergency or heck a hoof, horn or whatever
it could've been ugly as my first reaction would be to yank my hand back, and that
dang little stupid strap would have held my hand and arm in place. Could've been
a big ouch.
SOOOOO -- I cut the straps off my gloves and will do the same with DH's.
I've had this type of glove for many years, and several others as well (w/o the strap)
never had a problem - but boy that could be a big one.

Long ahead on this, especially reaching into running engines. I go through a pair about every week.

Wipe it today or scrub it tomorrow?
Windy this am. Warmish, 60’s later. I’m researching post shear care for the Racka and not finding much. “Provide shelter” - well duh. Maybe she can leave him a short fleece?
He has to do a total fast, I’m guessing his reintroduction to water needs to be gradual so he doesn’t tank up. Looks like he’s got some barn time coming. I have a whole new respect for people who keep wool sheep.

I love that quote!
I'm going to add that to the little mantra in my head.
"Don't put it down, put it away. Wipe it today or scrub it tomorrow. "

Anybody have any others?
I can make a little needlepoint sampler!

My grandma used to say "Do you answer every dog that barks in the night?" Basically, not every comment requires a reply from you.

She also said "Consider the source". More people should think about that one.

Yeah - schedule/plan for the earlier date - you can always switch to later if need be.
