This should be last job day for this week. 👍 I'm feeling I need a couple days at a slower pace. And it's hatch weekend for incubator. We'll see how that goes 🙄 I'm not a broody hen....so anxiously I wait. Also, have more milk processing time. @CrealCritter a dairy animal is a commitment! One...

@CrealCritter speaking of the moo crew, has Penny been added yet?

That's cool -- 3 blimps at one time 😃 Daylight coming woke me an hr ago. Slept hard, which was good. Unexpected things happened yesterday so never got to work. I'm coffeed up and heading out early today. Had left a window up a couple inches for the cool night air to blow in. It sure did...

Took 1.5 gal milk from frig before noon to get to room temp. Just turned into another qt of ricotta. 😊 Winter lasagna prep. It'll be packaged & frozen tomorrow. Still 2.5 gal milk in frig 🙄 DW full of clean jars ☺️ will be refilled with milk. Thanks Brat. That's about $14. of cheese. A...

Wrong....checked calendar and auction is next sat, 6/14. Much better! Need another week to chill myself and check over goats!! Select those ready to leave here.

Would be thrilled to share but, you're a long drive away ☺️

Tonight is lockdown. 😉 I'll disconnect the turner, increase humidity a little and hope for best. If all went well then Fri/Sat should see chicks. 🤞🤞 I'm ready to be done with this part of chicks! The auction is Saturday. I can buy a few more half grown pullets if this didn't go well 😆...

Thinking I'll have stuffed peppers from freezer. Before long it'll be time to prepare another batch for winter 2025. Still several in there to eat up.

I checked neighbors tree -- that she's given me permission to be "mine" 😁 it's loaded!!!! It's a massive growth -- about 10' tall, spreads 15+ across. Yeah at least 25+ yrs old. So I can hardly wait for harvest. Late this month. :drool that and elderberries here & there will keep me...

Great day! Work mostly audit & piece, paid well, short day! Home to good incubator temps 👍 weather beautiful. Cleaned & refilled a bunch of water tubs. Walked and picked up "stuff" blown in & around from Sat winds, while tubs filled. Collected eggs. On way to store for work, delivered...

Easy, peasy -- some meatloaf I made yesterday 😊. A few lima beans, too. Glass of wine.

Up at 5....coffee then. Breakfast over. Frustratedly watching incubator full of eggs. 🤞🤞 Almost time to leave for work.

I'm not cut out for the worry. I like more control. 5 am, I'm checking eggs. Candling isn't fun! Of the dz eggs I bought, at least 2 weren't fertile -- too clear for any development at this stage. Didn't check every egg. Most are either where they should be, dark with air sack, or hard...

@farmerjan Yes, wafer type :he $9.54 at below...S/h ?? https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.itemextend.com/gqf/media/CACHE/images/images/3007_600x600/f0666d2b3732005099577f83c81df728.png ETA...it's working but you only have a couple degrees between good and cooked. I'm just leary of it as I've...

Temps still cooler than normal aver but, that's ending Tues. Yeah mid 80s then! Summer is arriving. Winds from yesterday have subsided, you can walk and hold on to stuff today 👍 sun is out. I'd love to think I may get a garden started next week! That or at least these tomato plants in big...

Up half the night trying to get incubator temps stable again. Sure don't want to cook them at this stage! Old model is a manual, not a digital set 🥴. But, new lid with that feature is $145....won't help or get here for this last 6 days and may never do another load. So monitoring it and...

15-20 mph winds all day. Can't hold onto much! I'm inside being lazy.

I'm getting a day off from rain :clap plus, looks like a week of dry coming along, too. The hay guy will be glad -- he's got a lot to cut, going into too ripe status.

Morning chores, then off to jobs in 2 stores. Worked all day...came home, ate a few bites of tuna salad, then outside to chores. Just got in from milking and egg collecting. Time to rest!! Thinking early to bed tonight 👍

Maybe you're not :lol: :lol: :clap
