You have had a lot on your plate. With DH doing better, now you can get around to doing a few thins outside. Just be careful when HEAT shows up!

Cross Nacogdoches off your list, it ain’t that great. LOL It was just the closest to me.

Yes @flowerbug inflation goes up, people are upset and then it slowly sifts down, but NEVER back to the price it was before. Never. Rinse repeat. And we wind up with higher prices than before the latest economic cycle. I remember gasoline for 15 CENTS and a gas war was when opposing gas...

I’m not real sure exactly where you are, but there is a cattle auction in Navasota that has a decent sheep and goat auction before the cattle sale. They run it live on FB. You might watch it and decide if it’s worth going to. I took 6 sheep to the Nacogdoches cattle sale last Thursday and got...

Hahaha! You dreamed about the chickens! I was worried about them too.

@CrealCritter you might want to put the young pullets in the coop with the others before they get territorial. Wait too long and the older hens will beat up the younger ones. Tank is such a good dog. Labradors are so versatile. I knew you were going to fall in love with him.

Have you ever taken goats to auction? You get better prices on the farm, but sometimes you just gotta load them up and go. I took 6 sheep last week. I got better than I expected but prices were down. If they gotta go, they gotta go. Just about all the auctions here are cattle auctions. Goats and...

Basically it sounds like your DH is on the diet, If it tastes good, spit it out. . ☹️ Pouring and storming here. Waiting on daylight so I can go check sheep and dogs. My little temporary shelters are no match for a deluge like this.

Pouring rain here. Under flood watch. Ya think? Waiting on daylight so I can go check on sheep. @CrealCritter Tank will be the best friend you’ll ever have. We had a Lab named Danny. He would escape the yard and go downtown to the police station. The dispatchers loved Danny. He sat, did high...

I’ll be clearing the back field fence rows this summer!

Notice unfolded clothes on sofa. There’s 2 more loads on the bed. LOL

Whew! It’s been crazy around here! When I got back from church yesterday, Fancy had twins. 1 very small white dead ewe and one honking big spotted ewe. This makes 27 lambs, 26 live ones. 3 more ewes to lamb, next week. I had to pull 2 ewe lambs of triplets. Mom has been sickly, gave her...

I try to be as organic as possible. Been that way all my life. I have been living on my new farm 2 years in August. I’ve worked very hard, spent thousands on fencing and not done yet. Fence rows were so grown up that I couldn’t even get to the fence. 2 fields are done, the back field is going to...

Coffee is on! I’ve had my 2 cups and 2 scrambled eggs. Waiting on daylight so I can get chores done. Today is slaughter day for Cornish Cross. I’m really tired of dirty birdies. A friend brought me his chicken plucker, that will certainly speed things up. I think there’s 37 chickens. I plan on...

Awesome score on the free lumber! Raised beds for sure now!

Thinking about you. ❤️❤️❤️

Your husband is such a good man. I’m so sorry that he has to suffer from health problems. You suffer right along with him. Big hugs and I hope he’s better and can go back home soon.

I’m so sorry about your ewe and lambs. That’s a tough one, I have a 10 year old ewe with twins. She is still going strong. She is the last of the 4 original bred ewes BJ and I bought. A big pet, she paws my leg for attention and gives great hugs. She will get a long rest after weaning her lambs...
