Coffee is on!
Today is RABBIT SALE DAY! 6 angoras and 1 lop! :woot
The guy may want to buy a few more angora babies next week, when the other litters are ready :bunny
Heat advisory is still on...today is 95 with an index of 103. Hopefully it cools off soon...
The leaves are changing and I'm ready for fall!

We moved hay off the trailer yesterday and stacked in the feed and tack room. We moved a bunch of stuff that was on top of the stack of plywood, got 2 sheets, then put all that stuff back. We played with the idea of doors, didn't really accomplish much. I put the 2x4 back up that keeps the horses from waltzing into the feed and tack room. Some day soon I will have doors! Then move feed, saddles, tack and get it all set up just like a REAL barn! I've had stuff crammed in a 12'x24' portable building since we moved here. This feed and tack room has been a start, mostly stop, project. Ready to get it done.

I got up early this morning to go to Wally world (hate it) to pick up some things before work. Walked past the wine section towards the dairy aisle and had to do a double take. They have a bunch of wine on clearance - and it just happened to be some of the wines that we enjoy. Felt a little odd buying a cart full of wine at 7am this morning, lol. (but can't pass it up when it's half the price per bottle than it usually is)

But, I had coffee when I got to work - not wine!

OK everyone -- today is FRIDAY and also the 13th day of the month...:lol: Enjoy it.
Yesterday, came home to a doe out of her pasture ( :idunno how?) and by the buck. He had licked her neck until totally wet! Blubbering, doe crying, kisses, all of it. Opened the gate, she went in and within two steps, it was love! :D Waited a few more minutes, removed doe over extreme resistance and took her to a paddock. Buck laid down, looking for a cigarette. HOPED she would be out of it by morning as they don't stay in this mood very long.

Up early, GDG to school, back home. Same doe, out of pasture into adjoining paddock. :he:he Open gate, she ran to awaiting buck, same deal...in and out of field, mission accomplished....boy, she can sure put on the brakes -- tugged until I got her back in paddock. :th Seems she was climbing a convenient spare gate I had leaning at the fence on the pasture side, jumping down. :barnie You can't trust them!!!! It's been there for 6 months.

Back inside. Take some cheese and scraps to chickens. Realized I hadn't gotten the 1/2 gal of clabbered milk, pick that up to take....wasn't careful and it began to spew. Now I have a 12' trail of milk from table to sink, and down the cabinet front. Cleaned that up. Out and dumped milk. Back in.

Tasted some of the Beauty Berry jelly I made and have decided that the taste is very much like a Marachino Cherry. Yep, closest description I can give. It's good but, not something I'd eat a whole lot of as I'm not that huge a fan of them....but beautiful color! It was pleasant with the fresh soft cheese and would probably be nice with yogurt, as well as toast. :idunno The wild blackberry is soooooo much better. :D =D

:caf Now, coffee and get ready for work. Looks like the rain they predicted is on it's way, at any minute. Good day to work inside jobs. Be careful out there!

Where's the coffee? Okay, I'll put a pot on. It'll be ready in a minute. Ya'll help yourselves.

Up before six this morning - on a Saturday? There's something wrong with this picture. But, lots to do. I have three round bales that need to be moved and covered this morning. They're in the livestock trailer so it's always a challenge to get them out. It'll happen though. "They're" talking about an outside chance of a possible tropical storm in our area (most likely won't be more than a depression) coming this way. Whatever it becomes, we have heavy rain predicted for early next week so I need to get it done asap.

Happy Saturday ya'll!
