Pasture seed is spread. So is my phone. Don't ride the mower and carry a phone in the back pocket of lady jeans. No new pictures for a little while. I can always go through my old ones on google photos, but still not great.
The rest of the week is hot and dry and then the rain starts for several days again. I'm counting on dew until then. We get quite a lot of it.

Somehow my phone fell out of my pocket and slid under the lawn mower seat where the safety feature springs are. Score. I also drew blood for buck biosecurity testing with the vet's help. We were done with them in half an hour including set up and take down.

I carry my phone in my front pocket. If phone wont fit in front pocket, I don't buy those jeans.

Love my OLD flip phone... fits in the jeans front pocket with ease. Hate the idea that it needs to be replaced this year... 3 G....

I won't tell you what my non flip phone looks like. I miss those tough little flip phones that don't crack.
Due to flies and a lack of ventilation in the shop I decided I was done with quail this week. Also, these batches have been very violent with each other. The new project on the list after the buck run is to buy a shed and stick it here.

10 or so foot of chain link should keep those birdies in, right ( if the bottom is made solid)

I'm still waiting on my last doe to kid-a shy ff doe-but she went into a pen in the barn and I turned the others out. Hopefully they go after that line of trees on the ridge or clean the fence line. Idk though. They like feeders full of Alfalfa.

Bottle babies have been going. Numbers going down. Milking, milking, milking...

My parents are excited to and have been taking the quail, but this week my dad started having an itchy throat followed by a cough and it got worse and worse to the point it was bad so he went in...and has COVID. So now their household is locked down and everything is on hold.

I can talk goats with the mother though. She likes Nubians (too much ears).

It's probably going to be a rough ride. Dad's immunocompromised after his chemo. I'm worried. His doctor likes to stay involved with COVID patients though so hopefully...

I hope your Dad does ok with the covid. Keep a close eye on him that he doesn't go into pneumonia.

Thank you, we're crossing our fingers. It's looking like he'll probably be getting the z pacs and antivirals right off (assuming supply and policy still let them).

...I'm never getting my tank back. I guess it's probably too tall for the bucks anyway.

Also, a few minutes before the crime DH also decided the goats needed wifi. They approve. The does are excited about all the potential cooking shows they can watch (don't ask about what the bucks want to watch).

Goat barn or man cave?
