Looks like someone is eating good over there!

Miss @goatgurl, good to see you back online!

Geez Joe, can't catch a break with the weather! And if the rain does stop, you and DS won't be able to get up to work after all that food!

This is normal weather for this time of year. Lots of rain is to be expected in East Texas, any time different air masses collide anywhere close to moisture laden Gulf or Pacific air.

Well, the goats were mostly dry when I got out there to feed them. Gave them a little extra pellets and hay this morning since it's only 42° and windy as well as wet/damp. Should experience our first hard freeze period over the coming three nights. Lows down as far as 24° on Wed night. When I counted them there were only 9 girls when there should be 10. April was missing. She wasn't outside the pen like past time so I went around the pen to look under the deck and sure enough, she was way up under there. I called out so she'd know food was coming and she got out on her own (thank God, cause there was no way I could have gotten under to get her out). Rainy/misty weather expected through most of today as well as cold and windy. I checked the rain gauge after chores and it said 1 1/4" of rain but I think we got more than that. The water depth in all the feeder bowls was at least 2-3" deep.

My hands/wrists were useless yesterday and when not going out to eat, I spent the day with an ice pack on them. I have about 75% mobility back in them today. Supposed to be nice weather tomorrow, but right now the pen and pasture is a bog with streams running across it. The rest of the week seems to be warming and nice, so should be able to continue.

We got 1 3/4" last night and it is cold and drizzly now. NOT going outside to play! We are going to Red Lobster for late lunch/early supper late this afternoon. As retired people, we like to go eat between the lunch/supper rush. Going to be 27* tonight!

Looks like it is finally going to dry out later this week for where we live.

Why on earth do your goats like to go under the deck instead of going into a soon to be perfectly good barn is beyond me. Silly things.

We are going to have sunny weather this week too!!!! And COLD!

The girls can't get to the boys' barn, that's why!

Sounds like maybe you need to slide some sort of divider under the dance floor so the girls can't get in so far they will get stuck!
