OOh Denise Im so jealous of your new milking room! Congrats! Jimmy had decided last night that he needed to make one for me cause my girls kept coming up behind me and biting/pulling on my shirt to tell me they were ready before I was ready for them. I thought it was cute, the doe I was milking didn't appreciate the interruptions lol
Lost another flemish rabbit yesterday, this one I don't think was heat, we were only 110 yesterday we desert folks don't consider that hot. But really that particular bunny had a peewee issue we were treating him for since we got him 24 hrs earlier. We weren't entirely sure he wasn't still freaking out about the move either. Well we now have a beautiful ginger pelt to add to our fast growing collection. My white rabbits are all young and doing great, I gave them the flemish giants room that passed away and they love it in there cause its huge for their little fuzzy butts, its so much easier with them cause I know they are healthy and know their history etc. The flemish rabbits I don't even know how old they are. Got more peacocks yesterday, and some muscovies too. Farms really growing, gotta update all my charts today have been neglecting paperwork last couple weeks. Jimmy got the swamp cooler he bartered for yesterday running so that's nice.
Xerocles, I want to live in your universe, it sounds nice there what's the rent like?

We are making like cow plop and hitting the trail. Had our coffee and will stop somewhere for something to eat. Y’all have a great day in whatever reality you are living in. LOL

Coming into the Permian Basin and leaving is yard after yard after yard of oilfield equipment, of all types. It is stilled, quiet and the gates are closed and locked. Boomtown isn’t booming right now.

Chores are finished despite the neighbor's dogs being in our pasture... it was uneventful. One of their dogs refused to go the way he came so fortunately I was able to get a hold of them because I'm not messing with a spooky mastiff.

Sitting at the kitchen table after breakfast, planning my day (critters eat first, then I eat). There are 2 blue birds playing outside the window. I never saw birds this type of blue. Not bluejay blue, but an iridescent royal blue. Almost like a lightbulb inside. They complement the Cardinals who are also flitting about out there.
On a sadder note, found 3 Bluejay chicks dead on the ground outside the chicken coop yesterday. Out of a HUGE hickory tree. Not nearly fledged. No winds for the last couple days. Mysteries.
Enough dawdling and daydreaming. Lots to do today. Upward and onward!

@Xerocles Your blue birds (assuming they are blue all over) are male indigo buntings. They are an astonishing sight, aren't they? Birds don't produce a blue pigment, so any shade of blue is the result of light refraction, the more light, the brighter they shine.

We have indigo buntings at our bird feeder. Little turquoise jewels.

We are in the land of wind farms. Transmission lines that Feed into the grid. Wind turbines and transmission towers March off into the horizon.

Coffee has been great this morning -- chores done and just checking in & on everyone else. Seems most are having a decent start. In my area, the weather is pretty good now. Like many, we had the "cold splash" that wasn't "quite" as cold as they predicted -- close tho. Since I had not put the tomato, eggplant, peppers out yet I was spared that loss. At last, procrastination worked well.

I died lose 3 tomato plants, due to goats sampling! Wanted to try the Mr Stripy this year -- now the pack of those are dead! I'll check to see if more at the store. Thanks, Brat! Bad girl.

Got mower working and yard cut yesterday! Need to get out there and do a couple paddocks that are easier with mower than tractor, since they are smallish. Then, some trim out...not much. Also had a nice Mother's Day time with DD. She brought her battery chainsaw into a field where we trimmed up some lower branches on trees. I had goats remove the leaves. We'll cut up and use front loader of tractor to move limbs to her dryout racks. Winter wood for her.

Looks like sunshine most all week with weather warming! I'm hoping this last pregnant goat will get kidding over soon. Most of other kids are ready for me to pen & wean! She's holding out with hers....hope they are all doelings.

Enjoy your day everyone.

What did you do with the dogs?

Palo Pinto County, prettier country. Scrub oaks, mesquite, ridges, mesas, hog backs, grass is greener.
