Yes! I am a weather wimp!
I don't want to leave the woodstove!
I hate being cold- and yes, I know all you Northerners are laughing at me.
I am OK with that!:plbb
Today I will pull out the wool socks and Bibs!
Even my goats aren't happy= no one is coming out of the building.
Usually this late they'd be hollerin' thinking we had forgotten them somehow. :D

Pups are ripping and running they are LOVING it!:\

Reminder for me that cold weather is coming and it will be a LONG time before spring/summer again. On a happy note it will get up to 70 today!:)

Anyone else cold this mornin'?

Yes, it was rather chilly this morning. This is the first morning that I have started the car and let it warm up before taking Rachel to school.

I have to remind my youngest (DS9) that shorts are not acceptable to wear to school since it has gotten this chilly!

The pastue is showing a good stand of mixed grasses and weeds in the 10 acres I've been cutting all year. I have another 6 acres that I just started cutting in March that was briars so thick that I think I will have to resort to spraying but I still have time to see if cutting works.

We have the house renovation down to one room left. We did what drywall work needed done last trip and will get it painted and the flooring done in a couple of weeks.

They are running rural water this week so we will hopefully have running water (in the house) when we get there next. I have been getting tired of carrying five gallon buckets into the house. The running joke with the neighbors is that we have internet but have to haul buckets to flush the toilet and take shower. :) We had internet hooked up the first week we were there so we could put in a security system and cameras but the water had such a high sulfur content that I didn't pipe it in when I redid all the plumbing. It tested good for livestock with some minor treatment but I didn't want it in the house.

If it will ever quit raining we should get our enclosed porch framed and roughed in in the next couple of weeks and then the concrete for the shop will get poured on the only level spot we have left.

The loafing shed/barn will hopefully be next on the to-do list for me and my wonderful Bride after the flooring gets done.

Did not mean to write a book for an easy question but I guess most on here know how it is. LOL​

I LOVE the update! I am always wondering how things are going whenever I see you on. :)
But what about pics? Really, no pics?:p
