Wow 87 is a little much for Nov. We're in low-mid 70s which is over our mid 60 norm. I'm good with it 😉 Already dreading the 30s in Jan/Feb. Hate cold.

Hope DH is keeping a walker close for support until his equilibrium is back! It may not be his want to but, it helps.

We actually topped out at 89....crazy stupid!

I'm bummed. I thought DH's appt was Monday the 11th. Nope, it's Monday the 18th. ARGH! I was all set to get that adjustment done so... He's doing ok and starting to try to do more things on his own. Yes - walker is at hand unless I'm deliberately walking him up and down the hallway without it. I think it makes sense to practice walking the way he will (hopefully) eventually walk. The walker gets in his way - but it is a necessity right now.

I got some more seeds tucked in to replace the ones that didn't sprout. Slackers! I still need to get a few more peas planted. My back protested yesterday and it was too stupid hot anyway. I can get that finished up today if the rain doesn't settle in. We've had a light shower already this morning.

I got 14 sacks of feed yesterday. I got about half unloaded last night. I'll finish up today. Also got the yard mowed for what I hope is the last time this season. With our warm weather and rain, I might not get my wish.

Spent a good bit of time outside yesterday following does around with a stick in my hand. Taped to the end of the stick is a cup. Goats are afraid of a stick with a cup on the end, lol. And, waiting for a goat to squat and pee is frustrating! However, I was successful with 3 girls and (WHOOP) had positive results. Literally walked 2.5 miles following goats around!

Seem to have a problem with one doe. I suspect cystic ovaries. Ugh... guess I need to put in a call to the vet if she cycles again. It's one of the new (high priced) Boer does. The other two Boers were tested and confirmed bred.

Took a walk through the little garden area and saw taters poking through! Yay! I still need to finish putting peas in the ground. Got side tracked, lol. That happens occasionally!

Son has a car-show today. He's got two cars and a motorcycle entered. I'm going to try and get up there in time for the awards ceremony.

Hurray for seeds sprouting! I like car shows - but NOT when we spend hours there. A couple of glances, some admiration and such, then its time to go.

This was last weekend in Paso Robles at a Air war museum and a car museum

I like the car shows too. This one is a small town affair, but they have a pretty big turnout. They hold it twice a year. The spring show is generally bigger than the fall show, but that's ok. Better chances to win that way, lol.
