CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

All is just fine and suppose to have on and off rain today, nothing severe tho. Thanks for the Prayers and concern. It seemed to lose intensity as it got to us, thankfully.

Glad that you came through the storms unscathed. We had some hard winds here last night, worried a little about tornados, but none showed up.

I checked the gauge as I went to do goat check this morning and had a half inch in it. We had one wave of wind and some thunder, but was glad for the fizzling of the intensity, just sprinkles and rain now.

Glad you "just" got rain....it's wet here, too. Gray, overcast, high humidity, ground a sponge ... Since I am not a duck, it is not an enjoyable day. Too wet to plow, as they say!

Coffee & computer until next feed time rolls around.

I was lying down, but have to get ready for one of those "Rounds" @Mini Horses .
It is chilly with a slow steady rain right now, and took advantage of there not being a "Goat Walk" today, and took a nap, but it is close to Feeding time for them....Inside, so I have to have my senses about me cause the sound of pellets in a plastic bucket sends the Boys into a Frenzy....in a defined Space.

So, we got 0.8" in the gauge today...hi 63 chilly with the winds and dampness around. Winds are suppose to pickup overnite 20-25mph out of NNW....the Good thing is the wind will help Dry up some of the water soaked ground, and then tuesday I'll get started on digging some holes. Gonna have about 4 days without water, so I'm gonna try and get done what I can during that time. Should end up being between 20-30 poles, depending on gates and layout....going to plot it tomorrow and think about it, to go over in my head the "Working" of it.
Talked to one of the helpers at the Co-Op and he'll help put fence up, and stretch, so hopefully once the poles get up, it won't take long to get the Wire up.
Tho, in the past, I've had people say they'd do things for $$ and when it came Time they had something Else to do.
So, it is a "Wait-N-See" on that. The ducks had a Great day again today....and I was so Glad I had cleaned their pen yesterday....otherwise their yard would've been a complete "Mud Pit" and very Slick. The hay makes much better Footing and softened the blow of all the falling water.
On the garden front, the tulips are busting the ground, Joyce put some onion sets out yesterday and will be planting Sweet peas in a couple of wks....garlic is everywhere, guess we'll have another "Bumper Crop" this yr....I'll have to remember to post a pic of some of the garlic we grow here, we love Garlic, so if ya don't like it ya better tell me before I start cooking something for ya...
I think Joyce put some tomato seeds in a pot today, in case of an Early spring. I did see about 30 Robins in the field today during the drizzles.
So, I'm trying to get motivated to "Tackle" the days ahead, because I can rest and Breathe when it is done.

We are hoping to make some decent progress in the next couple of days. I was hauling spent straw out of the lambing jug today and my little tractor was sinking six inches in the field once I left the gravel.

I stepped in a mole run out there today and thought I was gonna lose my Boot...it was above the ankle...
I figure in about a couple of days I might not need to add any water to the red sakrete, or very little for it to set.

Glad the worst of the storms passed you by. Real bad in Georgia.

Re: garlic (and olive oil) without them there is no reason to live!

Onion sets out! Sweet peas in a couple of weeks? Up here not for months, like maybe 3+ ... if the ground isn't frozen or too mucky.

Well we always try to be prepared for tbe yr's weather, so we get a jump on it...plus it gives Joyce something to do, because "Patience" doesn't seem to be in her Vocabulary
But on the peas, they can take some pretty cool temps and we have plastic sheeting we use over pcs of fencing with a curve in it...kinda like Bay's "Hoop House", but with 2"x4"x5' welded wire. It acts like a green house to some, but will keep frozen stuff off them and the dirt warmer. We do it each yr just to see...nothing wasted but some seed...cheap Entertainment for Joyce.
