I have 2 pips! And I've been hearing some very light peeps! So at least something good is happening today!
Today was wet. I would have liked to have left for the farm early. It wasn't raining when I got up. But, I had some place to go in the afternoon, and was planning on going straight from the farm. So, I didn't want to sit around the farm any longer than I had to. While I was waiting at home, I worked in the bedroom. I got most of the winter clothes put away, and the summer clothes out. I also did the dishes. I thought I had all of them. I checked in the oven and didn't see any. Found out later that hubby had some stuffed in the back.
By the time I left, it was raining, but not that hard. I got to the farm, and it started raining harder. Got my horses fed, then had to feed CL's. Right now, there's a bunch of minis and an extra horse in her field. The minis were all in the run in, so I had to chase them out. They were not happy. I got hay out for my horses. I'm wanting to use up the RB since it's getting moldy and that's not good. I tried to check on my chicks, but couldn't really look in on them. I did see one. I felt a bit bad since the wind was coming from the south, so it was blowing into the house a bit. Really made me wish I had gotten the house done.
Even though I had a rain coat on, I still got wet. So I figured I'd go and talk to RU for a bit. It actually felt good to relax for a bit. Finally went back to my area and was all set to do some cleaning in my tack shed when I heard a strange noise. I looked out the door and found out that the wind had blown over my hay shelter! The ground was so soft it pulled the pegs right out of the ground! So I had to go back out and take it apart. Needless to say, that spooked the horses! I managed to get it down and covered the hay w/the tarp. I'm glad there were only 8 bales left and that I HADN'T put my chick house in there! It may have gotten messed up! By the time I got it all down, I was completely soaked! I was glad that I had a dry shirt and a pair of sweat pants in my shed! I put them on. Then, I cleaned up the shed a bit. I did as much as I wanted, then went and fed Stormy. For now, I'm not bagging a ton of feed for him. He's still not eating the best, so I'm basically bagging feed every day after I see how much he's eaten. Got feed bagged for tomorrow, let him out, checked the chickens and left!
I had a couple of pictures to pick up. There's a photo contest out at the Nature Center and today was the last day to submit your photos. I haven't had time to really do much w/the pics I took, but I found that you could send them to CVS and they'd print them. So I had to stop there and pick em up. I also went to the bank, then to the Nature Center. Tomorrow's the judging, so we got stuff set up. I didn't stay the whole time. I was getting cold! So, I left. I had one desire, to get warm and dry! Got home, checked the eggs and found a pip! I looked later, and saw a 2nd pip! So now I keep checking on them. I hope I get some chicks out of this!
I've gotten a shower. I've fed the goats. I have to run out to a store for a bit then I'm not doing anything else today. It feels good to stop early for once. Tomorrow if I have the time, I'm going to try and get my chick house done. I'd really like to get that set up.
NO CHOCOLATE?? OMG - call 911!
I still have a ton of stuff on there, but I transplanted all the raspberries I wanted. I took out the rest of the ones in my garden (there's still some on the outside, but not a whole lot). I finished weeding my garden. Actually, once I got the raspberries out, it wasn't that hard. There wasn't much else in there! And, I finished putting horse manure in my garden! I also had a cart load extra. That was dumped in my orchard area. I figured I didn't need to cover the whole thing, just where I'm going to put plants.
for pips!
