Haven't been yet. Waiting for a better day. At this point - maybe October, lol. So much on my "gotta get it done" list. I don't think I'll ever see the bottom of that list. This constant rain isn't helping at all. Along with everything else that needs to be done I need to get some coccidia...

And bossy! I swear, if I'm late my Poppy is standing at the gate screaming at me. Geeze louise!

I've been following in your footsteps and have made ricotta several times in the last couple weeks. Yummy stuff! I want to make some garlic flavored chevre next.

Waded outside this morning to survey the overnight damage. I checked the trusty home weather station and it revealed that our windspeed overnight never topped 20mph. However, it toppled one of the neighbors trees onto my fence. Yay...not. Also blew some crate pads that I had hanging on the...

Gonna pass on the ducks, lol. I've been on the ducks on field trips with students. Great fun if you've never been to Galveston - but if you've been as many times as I have - it's torture! LOL! But, I will admit that I am a terrible tourist. Hard-headed and stubborn and don't generally want...

A mere 4.5 inches of rain today to go along with the 1.5 inches a couple days ago. More to follow tomorrow. Glad I got some things done yesterday including weed whacking around the garden beds, unloading feed and I even baked a loaf of bread along with cooking a semi-gourmet meal. Ok, it was...

Rain...again. Fished for a few minutes yesterday. Caught two mudcats that were not put back in the pond. Caught one decent bass that had a wound on its back. No idea why/how but I'm blaming the stupid herons that hang out there sometimes. Birds need to go away and leave my fish alone!

Yes - different system. They've outlawed those type of systems here. They're grandfathered in as long as they work properly but you can't even get them repaired anymore if you have a problem. You have to install the new aerobic system at major expense. And - they need electricity instead of...

Great start to the day...not! Septic pump started sounding an alarm on Saturday. Reset button wouldn't stop it, so I turned off the breaker. Called this morning to get service and found out that our service contract was due, actually overdue. Paid that before they would send out a service...

Yay!

You could make some gumbo with that sausage and shrimp... Let me know when it'll be ready and I'll start packing, lol!

It's HOT! And miserable. And humid. Ok, got that out of my system! Nothing exciting going on today - thank goodness. Tuesday our big TV died. No prior symptoms - just suffered a fatal malfunction and was gone in a nano-second. Got online Wednesday and ordered another one which was...

You earned it!

@Mini Horses It is fun (and maybe a little addicting) lol!

Sounds like it's going well! I'm dealing with shipped eggs from two different shippers...always a gamble. Looks like one hatch will be productive and the other one not so much. Few more days and I'll know for sure.
