Will be rainy and storms here too. On my last bit of coffee, then going out to feed, turn ewes and dogs out. I’ll be busy inside today.

Enjoy your rain! At least it is liquid. My forecast is 1 - 3 inches of snow today.

we have snow in the forecast every day and night for the rest of the week. i don't think i'm even going to pretend to be interested in trying to garden... we may get some warmer days and i might be able to get outside but i sure can't count on it.

today i crawled under the house and changed the air filter for the furnace and inspected things down there. spider webs and dust all inspected fine. done. will check again next spring when the summer AC season kicks off.

No snow in our forecast - thank goodness! But, they say there's rain a'coming. Oh yay... But I can't gripe about it because we're still not back up where we need to be. We've still got cracks in the yard/pasture. They're damp cracks now, but they're still there.

I took a walk out to the back of the pasture today and got a handle on the rye grass growth. It's looking really good. I had tossed some seed out in the back yard and it's grown well also. I let the horses on that grass for an hour today. Just an hour, lol. I need this grass to last a long time. Not planning on turning them out in the pasture until the end of November. Goats won't go out until after a good freeze. They hate me for (semi) dry lotting them. Oh well...

I'm still sticking seeds in the ground. Got some cabbage seeds in the mail yesterday and got some in the ground today. Hope we have a good warming trend soon - but right now it doesn't look like it. We're running a good 15 - 20 degrees below normal. We haven't topped mid 50's all week and looks like it's going to stick around. Rain coming again on Saturday and again Monday I think.

Goats are still doing goat things. Saw a breeding yesterday. That means my kidding season will start in early January and run until at least mid-April. In May I'll breed the Myotonic girls for October kids. That will be fun!

Going to be rainy and a high of 60 on Thanksgiving. I was hoping it would be nice weather so we could sit on the back porch where I have outdoor table and chairs.

Well that just stinks! It would be nice to have weather that you could enjoy...

Going to sleep 10 people here including me. I got 2 queen air mattresses at Target this morning for $39.99 Black Friday sale. Bargain!

You're going to have a houseful! Sounds like fun. That's a great deal on the air mattresses!

Got to looking, as in where to put them and what to do with them during the day….. that’s a problem. Going to take them back and go get a couple of camping cots at Academy. There’s just no floor space for 2 queen mattresses.

Can you just lean 'em up against a wall when not in use? 'Course that takes up room too, lol.

If not - they do make some really nice camping cots these days.
