Sunday morning..... put the plants all out last night. It was warmer than has been and calling for some showers so I figured the "rain water" would be good for them. We did have some rain, I have to go out and see how much... but I don't think it was very much. Lows were only down to 56... like WARM.... in comparison to what we have had... I did hear the rain around 2 this morning... I did not sleep good... and that after being busy outside yesterday.... 
The wind is really blowing now... forecast high wind warnings... High Fire threat so no burning again...
Sun is out and it would be nice if the wind wasn't trying to blow you into the next county.... Already 65 at 9 a.m.
I'm going out to see about getting out the skill saw and cutting this board for blocking the "bedding"... actually known as the litter, on the floor of the new coop... and see about getting the roost pole in. Then I need to hang a feeder and put a waterer in there... and try to remember to take a picture. I will move them tonight.
Got to get the samples packed and the explorer totally emptied out. Tomorrow is DS's appt down near Rural King and we need a bunch of stuff... We didn't go last time since he was not feeling good and we were just late getting out of the dr office... one reason he hates the afternoon appts... is getting out late in the day... then fighting traffic coming home.. The appt tomorrow is 8 a.m.; have to leave about 6 a.m.
Time to get out side and get blown away by the wind.

Made a leftover lunch, liver and onions so I can get that out of fridge.
Wind is just wicked out there today... It is not too cold, but the wind makes it very uncomfortable. I could not live where the wind blew like this all the time...
We didn't get enough rain to get the rain gauge wet.... I sure hope that the forecasted rain on Tuesday is a solid RAIN . Spring across the road is getting low, just a trickle... Got to get the heifers and calves out of there... Might see if I can get any in this afternoon.... Of course DS took the trailer to get some work done, but he said that he could borrow a trailer if I get some in... They are going across the dirt road behind me so not far. Bull calves have to be worked ... There are 14 to come out... that will take alot of pressure off it... have a couple "too young to breed" heifers to go there and about 4-5 cows that cannot get back with the bull... the 2 prolapsed ones and a couple old ones... Until the 12 come back from pasture to calve in the spring... A couple good rains will get the spring running again...
Going out to do the boards and stuff for the coop now... I was hoping the wind would lay down a bit. Need to get the explorer cleaned out also... for the morning...
