Kristi...so glad you got your barn cam!!! That has to make it better, right? Would love one...but with our small herd doesn't seem practical....maybe one day!

Information for other allergy people...if you just keep going downhill and nothing works, don't wait too long to go to your doctor...I went yesterday and ended up with a huge shot in my backside and strong antibiotics...raging sinus infection. Next time I go sooner.

When the Nurse took my blood pressure it showed 210/150....she took it again...same results. I told her that her new equipment wasn't working right. She puts me in an examining room and soon I hear someone running down the hall....I'm thinking, uh oh...someone has a problem. It was my doctor getting pulled from another patient room by the nurse and she comes rushing in to take my blood pressure with her own older fashioned cuff...I was normal...she took it again....still normal....LOLOL...nothing like causing a panic and a little drama :rolleyes:

Bon, the lamb cam is worth it's weight in gold! Sure saves me a skillion trips to the barn to see if they're starting to go into labor, then once they've lambed, a million trips to see if everyone's doing well. Since our ewe lambed last night, our date night will consist of hubby going to the deer lease and me having a quiet weekend here. BUT...... I've got new lambs to play with, LOL!!

Date night for me is with my gal pals and a few bottles of bud light. It's hunting season so hubby is in a tree. This weekend lots of chores in the freezing cold (brrr) and maybe a little baking.

LOL, sounds like they were preparing to have to jump up and down on your chest or something.

This weekend for us is homecoming weekend for our kids. So husband and I commented that the kids would be gone alot. That is about as far as we got on the subject. Saturday morning I work at a church thrift store, they bring in money to help fund an after school program at the church for middle and high school students in the area. It is a very rural area. Then we have to get 70 bales of straw and pack that into the barn. We really need to start trimmming goat feet. The girls are between 9 weeks and 5 weeks bred, it is a good time to get them all done again. Lawn clearly needs to be mowed, but looks like it is calling for rain. Not sure how that is going to work with getting straw. I have two turkeys to cook, They were freshly butchered on Thursday. Really need to get that done. Nothing exciting this weekend, just chores and more chores.

Hope you all have a good weekend, or at least a productive weekend and stay safe on the farms.

I milk 2 or 3 milkings on the w/e's, so we tend to do the fun stuff during the week. My husband is a retired heavy equipment mechanic, so does a little tinkering on the side.

BUT, this Sunday morning, we are going to pick up 2 PIGLETS!:weee:weee I am so excited--we haven't had pigs in about 10 years, and never fall pigs or pasture pigs. We planted way too many potatoes and I picked up every scrubby golf ball size left over and have a lot of pie pumpkins, too. I took my heifer back to the farm, so am thinking if I butcher my bigger steer, I should have like 100 extra bales of hay.

This weekend is packed!

Tonight, have a birthday dinner for my sister-on-law-and-only-in-law, tomorrow work on my butcher shop in the poultry barn and then going to a friend's housewarming party, Sunday picking up our first meat goat and finishing up the chores we have neglected all week.
