Depends on the weather. It's too cold to gut and skin right now. Today's high is 4. Brrrr.

Sounds lovely to me. Friday the forecasted high is - 6!!! Low of - 22. It will end sometime. It has to!

That's nuts… Our winter so far has been unusually cold, with the early snow and everything in December already. We're usually milder than this! I don't know what's up with the weather this year.

Update: it's cold. Have I mentioned that yet? Lol

My head cold keeps getting worse and I can only sort of breathe through my nose. My sciatica is acting up again.... And it's been below 0 degrees for 90% of the past 24 hours. And I haven't had the urge to totally quit farming yet so.... I'm doing pretty well

 

[sumi]

You're doing good, everything considered

Better than me, lol! Slogging through the mud today when it's just crappy out there is no fun at all! I think I should only farm in June, July and August... Hot season instead of mud season. Ugh.

I just love the goats too much to quit. I could live without the rest of it right now! Lol
