LOL, FEM, the pebbles look is funny! Yeah, I've got to figure out how short to go so that I don't go TOO short so I can't pull it back out of my face. In the barn it is REALLY annoying to have hair in my face! I wanted to clean the house today but I'm not finding much motivation yet. I suppose...

Still no garden planted... low of 34 tomorrow night!! WTF!!! SR has planted quite a few things already, I'm just a little reluctant because I don't have the covers to put over things, and I'm afraid I would forget anyway, or run out of time. So I'll keep waiting. It isn't anything that can't be...

STILL haven't put anything in the ground yet, though the weather is turning, so that's good. But between all the work I'm doing right now, I just haven't gotten stuff in yet. If I haven't been working, it's been raining. So that's thwarted a lot of progress. Lately I've been spending Friday and...

Wow, happy birthday to your niece!! There's nothing like tomatoes, I agree. We usually plant 200-250 on the farm I work on, and it's a LOT to manage.

I don't really have any season extenders here. SR does on the farm, and of course he forgot to put them out, so the frost got his potatoes. I'm just glad I haven't bothered to put anything in the ground yet. Looks like I might be able to this weekend, but now the rain is crazy. We've got rain...

Lovely to see you again!! Glad you're doing well, sounds about normal with all the stuff to do.

FEM, that's exactly what I'm worried about! We had CRAZY rain yesterday, 3.5", with 3" of that coming from the wee hours of the morning until about 10. And now it's going to get COLD for the next few days, like lows into the 30's! So I think I'm going to end up waiting until the weekend to...

So much for being able to relax while this quarantine stuff happens. I got a text Friday morning from VM asking for help on the farm. They were pretty desperate. So I rolled out of bed and hustled through my barn chores and then went straight over to the farm. I got there about 9:30 and we dove...

Haha, yeah, I should have said the cat's meatballs LOL. Not that it would have been much clearer, LOL Yes, diet is directly related to how they feel. It could be that you can find another type of dog food like Britesea suggests and it might clear up. It's tricky to find the right combo, and...

HAHAHA, yall are too funny. I feed my cats a raw diet, and the meat is actually chicken or beef offal, so not for human consumption since it's got organ meats and things in it. I mix the chicken and beef and make little portions for them so that I just grab one little bag with 2 meatballs in it...

I thought I was supposed to be LESS busy during quarantine not more busy?! We got the first garden box completed, and composted manure picked up yesterday (despite the mud), so that's good progress. My pay check hit, and I'm SO glad that this is happening now and not a month earlier, my pay...

...for now. The issue is going to come when the hospitals get overwhelmed and there is no way to treat the people who need treatment. I think we are a week or more away from that point here on the east coast (NY being ahead of us already), at which point we'll find out if the social distancing...

I thought I was supposed to be less busy due to quarantine, not busier?! Friday we ran some errands and got the lumber needed for the garden boxes. The BF was able to get one built when we got home. I have most of the seeds I want, there's a few more I'd like to get, but I'm not sure exactly...

Not only are our liquor stores essential, but they've actually made it legal to deliver alcohol! Crazy times!! (They do realize that if you were to cut off an alcoholic then they can go into all sorts of medical issues and need medical are - which is in short supply right now, hence them...

It actually IS really important to test as many people as possible - including the ones who have very little symptoms (like a "cold" though I actually don't think that's how they would describe their experience...). Without that information you don't have a true grasp on the actual spread, and...

I've seen the reports of 18 months as well. We certainly need to be in this for the long haul. I just messaged my farmer friend, and he told me to plant the freaking garden. I'm not ready for that AT ALL, but I guess it will happen. I will continue to buy a little bit extra as long as it is...

Yes, thanks yall!! You are right, @BarredBuff however, the long term projections/implications are NOT good. So that bumps up the plans to actually get my garden started here. I just wish my dang boss would close the office officially so I can focus on other things! Still haven't closed the...

I had that little nudge today to go to the grocery store on my way back home from the barn this morning at 7am. I'm GLAD I did. $130 later... :oops: I feel like I'm set. I picked up some more veggies, all fresh because there was NOTHING frozen or canned. Most things had at least some stock on...

I DID have luck!!! I had to go to the farm to turn out this morning since I wasn't able to yesterday, and I had that little nudge to go to the store on my way home, even though I was "supposed" to be in the office (thankfully they don't really care about my hours, so I figured if I was a little...

@Britesea no, not much. I have about 1/4 bag of frozen, and some random bags of frozen veggies. I've got about a dozen potatoes (which for the two of us is enough for a couple of dinners). I had been buying fresh stuff along the way, and of course that's now biting me in the butt. And with the...
