Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

This is along the lines of thinking I have. Won't have time to tinker until this weekend. I do have powdered sweetener sugar replacements already

I need to look up the chocolate coating for my low carb snickers bars. I think that coating will work.

Coconut oil and cocoa powder works just fine as a coating, but what you’re coating should be cold or it doesn’t stick. If you don’t add any chocolate chips to it you’ll also have to do several layers. Dip, chill, dip, chill, etc. I’ve mostly done it with strawberries.
Chocolate chips with coconut oil makes a hard chocolate shell on ice cream too btw. As long as we’re talking about coating lol.

Lol never liked Chem either. I have tried but never comes out right. I can bake meats but no desserts.

I use Lily brand chips

I found some faux graham cracker recipes that use almond meal as a base. It should work, I have a faux pecan sandy cookie base I like a lot

On second cup of coffee. Slept late, was awake several hours during the night. My sleep pattern is totally screwed up this week. I guess I need to set the alarm. It’s sunny today. 50 baby chicks shipped yesterday. I’d better get my butt in gear and get set up for them. Going to rain next two days. I don’t know why I do such stupid things…..

I'm sitting in the sunshine in hopes of getting my body to match up with the clock change. I hate time changes so very much. They mess me up for weeks

Hung cup after my second one with some scrambled eggs and ready for a nap.

Coffee hot, fresh, full strength! Help yourself

Cold 27 out, little overcast leftovers but, clearing. Feed everyone, unload truck from yesterday's feed store run, milk a goat -- then get ready and go to work.

They predict rains Fri & Sat. Crap, not needed
Just not liking that. Probably work Sat, stay home Mon & Tues. I need to work around here -- without rain!

I started my morning with walking my dog for 55 minutes, then a hot bath an cuppa green tea.

I gotta get to work pushing kids through their 4-H projects. They're good at signing up for stuff, not great at doing the work

BIG EXCITEMENT TONIGHT! For Sentry, not me. I was getting sleepy, had turned off TV and Sentry started going beserk. He was barking frantically, a high pitched almost scream. I ran out on the porch with my feeble flashlight and could see that Sentry had SOMETHING in the corner of the pen. It is pitch black darkness here and there are no lights in the sheep lot.

I drove the car to the pen, it’s just across the driveway, but the porch light won’t reach that far. Decked out in my robe, rubber boots and flashlight, I went in the pen to see what it was. IT was an armadillo. IT got in the pen and now desperately wanted to get out, but it’s efforts were hampered by a hysterical dog digging at its outer shell, biting its tail and trying to find a tooth hold on its back-or anywhere.

Mr. Armadillo was trying to burrow underground to escape this insane dog. I grabbed its tail and it dug in harder. When I was a kid, chasing armadillos was great fun. Grabbing one by the tail when it went down its burrow was fun too, but I never won. That contest usually resulted in me falling backwards and the armadillo running down its burrow. Since it stormed, rained and rained some more, I had a sheep pen full of poop soup and the thought of falling backwards in it wasn’t very enticing.

But no matter-the armadillo was kicking mud and showered me with it. Mud went down my boots, in my hair and everywhere in between. So much for going to sleep.

Sentry the Diller Killer was on top of things, digging, biting and ferociously barking. I went and got a fish net and shovel, thinking if I could get the Diller in the net I could rescue it from Sentry.

It popped out of the hole it was digging, hit the corner, where Sheba and Buford were drooling on the other side. Not smart Diller! Sentry the Diller Killer grabbed the opportunity and went nuts, his teeth slid off the shell and Mr. Diller was carefully guarding his underbelly. I tried and tried to scoop the armadillo in the net, just wasn’t happening. It popped out of that hole, much to the excitement of Sentry and went back in the first hole. I tried to dig it out amidst a kicked up mud shower.

I finally had sense enough to put Sentry in the other pen. Mom’s gonna show you dogs how this is done! I went outside the pen and dug down to the armadillo, providing an escape route. Did it escape? NO! It turned, burrowing faster-in the direction where 3 dogs stood waiting. Stupid armadillo!!

I got the water hose, determined to drown the darn thing out of there. Water went down the hole and all of a sudden, my escape route looked mighty good to Mr. Armadillo! Quick as a flash, it jumped up like exploding popcorn, landed on its feet, running. It disappeared into the darkness.

Yeah! Let that be a lesson to you, dumb armadillo! DON’T COME BACK!

wow, I never get any good excitement in my life like that. (I am NOT complaining! ) Sounds like a heck of a cleanup was needed for all after that!
