Good morning everyone, another frigid morning here. My ducks are sooo antsy!! They want out! But if I let them out..in this deep of snow, they wouldn’t be able to move, and might get frostbite with the temps...momma knows best! Last night I sang them the song I saw them when they were younger, it helped settle them, and they ate animal cookies, yum! I even got to snuggle with them like I used to, but haven’t been able to since the hectic pace of winter! Not much on the plate for today. Chris has to get an apartment ready for a new tenant. I’ll stay in the barn and play with animals.:)

27 degrees here, will warm up to 40 degrees. Got things to do today before the rains on Wednesday.
Hang onto that rain as long as possible, wouldya? Its supposed to get here Thurs night or Fri. I haven't been able to get the tractor in the garden in two weeks. Need another day or so of drying up.

Oh, my -- apartment days!!! I spent almost 20 yrs in property management. Our own and those of others. Sold my last ones many years ago. But, some vivid memories!! One of my favorite court excuses for not paying rent -- yep, spent a lot of time in court -- he had no stove to cook. Brand new stove but it will NEVER work until you have the utilities turned back on! Eviction granted. Yeah.

It's a cool 24 here this morning. Rather crisp :yesss: Will be taking HOT water out there in a very short time. some of the chickens are in a huddled mass with a "WTH" look...I mean we have had Spring weather for an unusual time -- winter just came to our door and walked in without an advance warning! OK -- the calendar but, little else. Heck, I thought we were skipping it. I was willing. "They" say it will reach 35 later, another 25 morning tomorrow but, low 40 and going to increase to upper 40s by end of week. I'm on board!!

First day since last Fri that my body has let me enjoy a cup of coffee! I'm taking it! Also first day I have felt I was once again alive enough to be a farmer. My energy has returned!! About time. I use these "times" to monitor myself in approaches to sick animals and their own needs for getting back into action. We are amazingly similar and if you do this it does help in their recovery needs. That means I'm ok with the TLC and separate quarters until they can resume their get up & go. After years with not even a cold, the "body self decision" to have a purge & fast all at once was not on my list. I used my elderberry juice and revisited Lipton instant soup. LOL Thankfully nausea wasn't included. Some hot tea was allowed, just couldn't get my mouth to accept food until late Sunday.

Well my animals will accept all the food and warm water I want to share this morning!! Better get that working. Bundle up!! "Baby, It's cold out there".

Morning all well this friday is my husbands last night working at his current job and come monday he starts working for himself. i am excited that after two years of night shift we finally be on the same schedule no more midnight talks and 6 or 7 o clock wake ups or getting woken up at 3 or 4 am when he gets home. now it will just be the kids waking me up. Going to work of course on cleaning house today, school and animals. my new phone that i got i think 5 may be 6 months ago broke yesterday so ordered a new one again. that makes three phones that have broken on me in the last year and half .... anywyays trying to print out the kids school this morning my printer was acting up yesterday so hopefully it behaves today.

Good morning! It seems we've swapped weather ends with some of you guys. We are unseasonably warm, warmer than Texas! So weird. It's supposed to climb into mid 40's and rain tomorrow and the following days. That rain on snow sure makes a mess.

@Duckfarmerpa1 , when I hauled water in a sled I used 5 gallon buckets with lids. It helps if your trail isn't super bumpy and the sled has higher sides, but I've also made it work on a toboggan. Sure a lot easier than carrying buckets.

@Mini Horses , hows the black eye doing? Mine finally disappeared. Now my face is back to the usual goofy look. 😄

Funny because when I was young that was about the only thing that was appetizing when I was sick. Broth and just enough small noodles to give it some texture.

that makes three phones that have broken on me in the last year and half ....
I HOPE they are being replaced under warranty. What kind of phones are they that break so easily?
