We escaped the worst of it. Ended up with 1.25 inches of rain that we really didn't need.
We need some sunshine now. Hay needs to grow so it can be harvested. I'm about to open my last bale of hay. There is some hay available in a few places but they're charging "you were too stupid to...
Great ideas ya'll.
Whoops - seems like the foul weather has found us. Gusty winds and thunder. Hope the power stays on. I meant to put fuel in the generator earlier, but didn't get to it. If we lose power now I'll be fueling it up in the dark - ugh. Over 850K folks without power in the...
Thank goodness - no! Pretty far north of me right now and moving mostly east. If it moves more south the tail end might clip us - but so far so good. My brother is in Baytown and in the direct path right now.
How about you?
Took DH to the eye doc earlier today. Got his prescription and went and picked out new glasses. Another chore down. Appt with a spinal pain specialist next week. Don't hold out a lot of hope, but...
Unloaded feed and felt a few sprinkles. Decided that I should mow before the real rain...
Thanks! Can never have too many hugs!
I'm staying busy keeping the hands and the mind occupied. Taking DH to an eye doc appt. this morning and going to lunch with a friend later.
Thanks. It's already been an emotional day, and it's just barely started. Trying to focus on the good memories. I need to buck up before DS gets here. Don't want him to feel slighted in any way.
That's cool!
I swear to goodness I'm ready to shoot every animal on my place! I think the solar flares are messing with every critter's intelligence.
Banded a bunch of bucklings this morning. I think 5 of them... One got away so I caught a different one and banded him just because I felt like it!
DH...
Pig! Not sure what it's called - based loosely on carnitas. Pork chunks simmered in its own fat, added some OJ, lots of garlic, peppers, onions, oregano and cumin. Home canned pintos for a side.
Today has been better. I'm not letting up on him though.
I'll freely admit that I've been a _itch. I'm not in the best place myself right now. I'd like to skip Mother's day - but I can't do that to my son. He's the only one I can still 'mother." His b'day is tomorrow.
DD's b'day is coming...
