We are lucky because it’s not calling for rain while we are there. This will be our 3rd time visiting, and so far it’s mostly been sunny. They keep telling us it always rains, but it’s hard for us to believe.
First time we visited the Tillamook creamery, but we didn’t feel like taking the tour. I will have to look up this Briar Rose one.

It's in Dundee. Very small but very good. In the heart of wine country.

Went to collect eggs -- NO. 
2 hens have gone broody....growl, peck & snuggle down tight. Breasts are almost feather bare to heat them. Tomorrow I'll check again. If settled in, I'll get the broody hen boxes set up, move them at night to a full nest. 
Oddly, less eggs past 2 days. I'm scanning for the dreaded rat snakes!
. So far, none. But real tight check over weekend, in case. Machete at ready.
Rain all day. Wet, cold, dreary. At jobs most of day.

Coffee is ready. I was wiped out yesterday afternoon and took a 2 hour nap. But I did go get feed so there’s that. Today? Dunno.

I’ll take a cup if you have cream…Boone is having a rough morning. Fen keeps trying to get comfortable and sleep on the bed (because I’m in recliner) and Boone can’t have that, so he must go evict him. But something is going on outside, breaking all of his rules, forcing him to yank the door open and charge out back roaring and barking.
Fen once again, lawlessly settles onto my pillows like the little criminal he is and Boone has to kick the back door open to come inside and correct him. It’s 4 am. Whatever is outside is relentless. He tries barking loudly, then howling from the bed with his best “AWOOOOOO”s”.Now TheMan is barking at Boone who actually runs in and boops me on the mouth (in appreciation of my good citizenship, perhaps?) and out the backdoor again to put out whatever miscreant is disturbing his peace.
Fen, I’m sure, is enjoying the entire event, cuz that’s how he rolls…

Ducks ate their feed I got them so that's going to be a drop in their food bill. PM showers, better hurry up and get the feed in the pole barn. Plenty of machinery to move it, the only machine that can put it where I want it exactly is currently down.
Got 4 tons so far, going for another 4 to 5 tons come next week. At this rate I might as well put a grain bin up, oh wait I got a few still. Grab what you can before they run out this week, after that got to wait till next year for more.
Different note, my dad made it home and using the ramp I built, without it he would be stuck indoors dying away. Problem is if left unattended he will end up doing stuff he shouldn't, step mom woke up to him mowing the lawn on the riding lawn mower. I would of like to have been there to seen that one as he struggled to get out the electric wheel chair and onto the lawn mower

It's not my spring weather outside. 
Nope. Breezy, cold, wet, goes right thru you. Almost 2" of rain in last 24 hr and ground is soft, wet....grasses make you need boots to keep pant legs dry. There's a bunch of stuff to move to get to my horse trailer 
AND it's goat auction day. Yeah, I'm not gonna get there! 
not wrangling goats in this set up. My bad.
Need to check if those 2 hens are still on nests. Then decide if I need to go buy eggs -- new bloodlines will hatch. Can do that instead of above auction. Home all week, so I can separate animals for next month & set up for loading.
Just hate that this is one before Easter, so more meat buyers there. It's life! Have more coffee!!!
