Maybe some fruits & veggies with high vit-c and lower acid?

Here's one that may help your throat, too...

While thyme is a popular remedy for sore throats and respiratory conditions, it’s also high in vitamin C, which helps improve immune health, make antibodies, destroy viruses and bacteria and clear infected cells

who knew? not me.

Just hoping you feel better!!

Still milking, huh? This heat makes it bad here. Worse than winter cold -- well, for now. When winter hits I will probably change my mind. Hate really cold weather. AND snow. So far I'm drying them off and will work it better at kidding in Spring.

Never a dull moment!
Those kitties are just too cute!

Thank you for caring enough to do some research! We are open to trying some different things. I’ve actually been scheduled for an EGD on 9/25 to see what’s really going on.

We plan to milk year-round so that DD2 always has fresh milk. I know Nellie can do an extended lactation so she’s my true hope for the winter. I’ve been freezing like mad just in case. Snowflake may keep milking and may not. Caramel will freshen in Oct so that will help.

You are welcome and the brassicas has lots of VitC. But some may be an issue with gas/acid. Some fruits can be but others not so much. Nuts?

Yes. Current one will prob carry you until she is milking after colostrum, etc., That should take you into more kiddings, more milk. You've got a full plate but, God provides!

I totally agree! God does provide!

I found a cute Jack Russell puppy. She’s about 4 months.

Now there is something to keep you from getting bored. Lots of energy in a JR.

This morning there was a dead mouse. Sophie has taken to leaving me presents!

Those are not presents or gifts. They are examples...tools. It's Sophie's way of trying to teach you how to hunt and kill.

It’s raining like crazy here. DH and his dad finished 109.5 round bales of dry hay from one farm this week!

I don’t think I ever introduced the guinea pigs. Panda Boy and Eric got their cage cleaned yesterday and I remembered to get a pic while they were contained.

We are getting a large variety of egg sizes and colors. Sizes range from bantam pullet eggs to three year old layers. Colors range from blue to green to mint to pinkish to cream to khaki to chocolate.

Amazingly enough the chocolate egg is from either an Ameraucana (EE), Light Brahma, Black Australorp, Buff Orpington, Gold Laced Wyandotte, or Isa Brown.

The blue is next to the cream and difficult to get a pic of.

Apparently our cats are doing that as well. Was going to go outside and spotted on the mat in the mudroom

• rear 1/4 of a mouse
• head of a mouse
• really gross barfed up rest of the mouse and who knows what all else. Too much for 3/4 of a mouse.

I liked it better when they did their killing and barfing in the shower. So much easier to clean up.

My cats were never inside but, one I had used to leave her "proof of work" at my backdoor. Right now I NEED to find 2 or 3 good barn cats. But, the old fart who MADE this is home almost 18 years ago isn't good with newbies. Plus he's too old to hunt and likes his soft food -- almost all back teeth gone. He's a feral that "moved in"! He harassed the two I had then but, they had a truce. Now just him. NOT enough.

He may be more social now, guess I need to find out. He now will allow me to occasionally pet him -- has only taken 18 years. Plus he now "lives" on the back porch. In years past he'd take off a few days at a time and stayed more in the fields & sheds. Old and numbered days, I'm sure.
