I'm thrilled to have 80's in January - but worried that Mother Nature will take up some ideas of revenge and we'll get hit with single digits at some point as "payback." My luck she'll wait until I have the garden planted, some delicate shoots peeking through the ground and THEN we'll get hit...

I eat them turnips, lol! Never enough to share... Might toss a few of the greens to the critters, but only because I have collards and prefer them over turnip greens.

Yikes!

Works for me!

I was impressed (and a little jealous) with your harvest!

No thought of moving when we retired. I know DH would love it - but I'm not going anywhere.

Weather forecast is for something like 83...if reached it will break another record. I'm not complaining about the perfectly wonderful weather we're having - but I do not understand it! We need rain too... I'm trying desperately to get outside projects completed while we are in this fantasy...

That's so generous of you. Unfortunately, I don't seem to be able to grow anything squash or pumpkin due to squash bugs. I hate 'em...

Mine would have too!

Pork chops, sauteed mushrooms and mashed potatoes. DH lives for the days his blood sugar is low so he can eat him some mashed 'taters, lol!

I really liked the looks of him until I picked him up this morning and found a split scrotum. Pretty pronounced too...boo. OH well, he'll make a nice wether and probably taste pretty good too. :(

Crazy huh, lol. When he was wet, I couldn't see the brownish spots at all...

A few baby pics - just for fun! The buckling that I thought only had a white spot when he was born. He's actually got lots of color, it's just hard to see. Love this little guy! He looks like he was supposed to be red but stepped in a bucket of white paint. He's a real cutie! He's a...

I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend. I hope it's a comfort that you got to see her when you did.

Got the structure constructed for the run. That was the easy part. It's only as tall as a hog panel so I'm covering the top. The run itself is 4ft wide and 20ft long. I didn't have enough wire to finish the top. So, for now they have access to about half of it. They'll love me bunches when...

Yay for that! I guess my buckling yesterday was technically my first for 2026. I tend to lump the deliveries into a kidding "season" more than separating by year. However, my season will be long this year. I've got two smallish bucks running with all the does, lol. It'll be fun to have...

Awesome! How many babies do you have now? I'm at 11 with 7 boys 4 girls. Should have another wave of deliveries in a few weeks.

Yep, today was demolition day. Tomorrow, if I can move, I'll try to do some construction. Also unloaded 12 bags of feed and moved the new mama and baby. Then came inside, chopped vegetables, peeled and deveined shrimp for dinner. Sitting down with a grown-up beverage to try and relax and...

Absolutely! Poor pitcher, lol. At least you came out of it in better shape than the pitcher did!

Today's chore of choice....uh no...today's pressing chore that I've put off for 18 months was to pull an old fence out of the weeds. This fence was knocked down by Hurricane Beryl almost 18 months ago. I had too many other things to work on to tackle the fence right then. So, it waited...
