OK... feeling like a photog today... here's dinner, eating it here now between typing:

Looks like it ought to satisfy the hunger. I bet Mel gets a bit also.

Your dinner looks good!
I was thinking "wow it's 9.15pm he's just now eating dinner?" Then i remembered that you're in central time zone .

Way too much for one meal... Having the leg and ~1/3 of the potatoes for dinner. Will save scraps and split them between Mel and Elf after I finish the breast, probably tomorrow. Also took out a T bone to thaw for some time over the next day or two. Mel is lying here next to me snoring lightly right now. Wasn't sure what was coming rain wise and there was thunder, so let him in when I came in after pellets for the goats. He'll be going back out with me here directly when I go get them their alfalfa. Elf is outside on the back deck. He prefers to be outside but has lately taken to scratching at the back door to come in. He goes in and out over the course of a day unless I get occupied and just leave him out. Unless it's pouring, and even then mostly, no dogs in the house if I'm not home.

I'm generally up late and don't go to bed till after midnight. That has changed a bit lately due to fighting the aches and pains... Have found myself going in and laying down much earlier, sometimes as early as 9-9:30. But I do normally eat after all the chores are done, so after full dark, which right now is after ~ 8pm...

Oh, forgot, ETA:

Full dark here has become ~7 PM

It started raining last night and all morning. We got 2 1/4" of rain. It's drizzling now.

 

[Mike CHS]

We finally started getting some a couple of hours ago. No griping here since we needed it.

An inch here today, probably the same yesterday. More on tap for tomorrow.
With the exception of last years post flood weeks, this is the greenest I've seen it in mid September in a long long time and I find myself understocked

Dallas set a new Sept record for rainfall and the month isn't over. Still misting/drizzling here, haven't looked at how much I got but from dumping out food bowls, I'd guess about an inch. There's another small cell/storm moving my way from the south right now, but the center is to the west of me. Not sure if I'll see anything out of that. The wind is whipping pretty good here, and it has both dogs spooked. Elf starts barking which lights off Mel, or vice versa... I just walked the inside of the pasture fencing with Mel to reassure him. Course if there were the perfect night for a coyote attack, tonight would probably be it. When the dogs bark, it makes the goats edgy... nobody gets any rest.
