Turkey carcass soup -- always a winner. Plus, I generally freeze a couple containers for those cold days when I don't want to cook. Warm & satisfying.

Ahhh -- I have collards for breakfast. Mine are cooked with more ham broth but, they were good. Have turkey for a noon sandwich. No dessert sent to me Will just eat some of my dark choc/caramel squares (compliments of Ghiradelli). OR, may bake a tray of brownies later. It's still cold & windy out.

I'm already hating what winter is going to give me!!

Well, the goats have their dance floor back. I'm tired and sore and need a shower, some pain killers, and recliner time. Got the front and rear wall installed and a sheet of OSB up on each to provide stability. Got the center wall framed and installed as well. Next 4 days are supposed to be sunny. Some days windy, and temps much cooler than the 75 we had today, but that's OK. As long as the body isn't too whacked out tomorrow, I hope to get the last two outer walls framed and installed and get some more OSB up. Was too dark when I was able to come in as I stopped working and went directly into doing animal chores. Will try to get some pics tomorrow to post.

Had a slice of pie with whipped cream for breakfast before I headed out to start, and had the final slice with whipped cream when I got done and came in. That's all I've had to eat today. No real appetite to make up leftovers right now.

Pie makes good breakfast food and when you've worked all day, are tired and sore, pie is comfort food. Congrats on the progress!

I have faith in you , you will get it done. And we will get back to chicken house...going to bed so sadness leaves faster

Knew I needed something so made a turkey sandwich with white meat, mayo, & lettuce on whole wheat. Side of crunchy Cheetos, the last of the cranberry sauce and some crystal light tea to complete the meal and now chewing a couple of tums before going to bed to hopefully ward of the acid reflux I know I've probably earned Having 2 hours of recliner has helped. Sleep will no doubt help even more. Where I'm headed when done here.

Great news on the goat house Joe!!

Today started off warm, very damp, cloudy, and really windy. The winds picked up over the day and the temp fell steadily all day. I guess it was around 60-65 at the high point this morning, and was down in the upper 40s by dusk. 38° right now with anticipated low around 30. Tomorrow winds are supposed to be much less... say maybe 5-10 mph or so and the high around 50. Didn't work on the goat shed today. Hands and wrists were OK, but the knees were barely working. They feel a lot better now than they have all day so I hope to be back out there working again tomorrow. Forecast for later in the week has day highs back in 60s-70 and night temps in the 50s No "real" expectation of rain in the near term either.

It’s cold this morning but the sun is coming up and it promises to be a beautiful day. It’s windy, but nice. We have a few little things to do outside today.

31° right now. still a little breezy so feels colder. All the goats pigged out as usual on their pellets but weren't all that eager for their hay this morning. Made up of flakes from the center of the bale they've been eating on for several days. Oh well... it's out there for them when they decide they want it. Still a lot of left knee pain but anticipate getting back to work around lunch time when it warms up a bit.
