On the first cup of coffee. Wake up temp at 61 but that's supposed to change. Chance of rain today at 70%. Hard freeze possible Th morning. Not sure if it'll reach as far south as us, but weather folks say to be prepared anyway. Just ugh!
Cool and damp and yucky out there. I'm kinda over it, lol. Not that what I want is gonna change Mother Nature's path! Just gotta grin and bear it.
Walked out to the pond this morning to check on my Mulberry trees. The bigger one in the backyard is already budding out. One of the ones by...
I've got some collards in the garden that are calling my name. Think I have a ham hock in the freezer that might want to join the party. Need to go pick some and get 'em cleaned up and in a pot. YUM!

We had a drippy day here. Got about a half-inch. Temps dropped but not drastically. I actually had a few days that I could go out withOUT boots. Not anymore...
Nah, I still have plenty of pens. It's just easier on ME if I don't have them all spread out, lol!
It has - and I'm tired! I want "regular life" back again!
Still (always) crazy busy. Twelve new kids! Thankfully, I get a break for a couple weeks before the next round. I moved some of the moms/babies yesterday. Most of them were NOT grateful. Creatures of habit, dontcha know.
I have three does that are overproducers in the milk dept and their...
