Coffee anyone ?

We are back to rainy blah...

If I could dial the weather... it could gently rain every night, or every other... and sun every day!

Pigs busted through the fence post and fence into my veggie garden... ate up my peas...

Then left the veggie garden... and busted into the chicken yard.... dumped over the chicken feeder and went to town.


Rather blows my mind... that they would leave the veggie garden, and instead of running around the huge great outdoors... they circled about and busted into the coop....


I haven't yet inventoried the veggie garden to see how bad it is...

I am grumpy... we are out of drinking water, and I am thirsty.... makes me grumpy.

Also... it being cloudy.

It cleared up, no rain at my place but, did a lot about 20 miles away. Sun came out and I worked outside - manual labor - got to about 90 and humidity close to same. Have a big pile of trash cut from fence lines. Too windy to burn. Stopped about 4 and got a shower. Definitely rain tomorrow afternoon.

I tossed moth balls into the groundhog tunnels. Couple hrs later, they were tossing them out!! I found and tossed back in. We did this a couple times. Seriously funny. So tomorrow, I'll add more...next day, I'll put the hose in and flood the den. May try a trap, baited with veggies tomorrow night....they like daybreak to come out. Breakfast is served! 🤞. Better than a flood, I tell ya. Eat it.

Coffee is on. 42° this morning... crazy weather.
Got the tractor driving tests all done and graded. Before the obstacle courses my kiddos are 1 and 2 in the jr division...can't tell them yet... but super proud. DS is the most experienced jr but dd1 is the youngest.
Today have a chiropractic appt, then a library thing, mow at the farm and a tball game.
Still need to clean up the horses....it will keep until tomorrow.

Well, I got up very early...4:30...had hot tea, wandered out about 5 to see if squatters were up. No sightings. Had a jug of ammonia under sink, so dumped that into tunnels. . Read that was another scent they would leave. Tomorrow I flood them. Worked last time.

Light overcast this morn, very humid. Supposed to rain heavy noonish to sixish. Need the rains. So unloaded feed, did chores....milked one side of new goat mom. Both kids using one side right now. I need to do some weed eater around house. I'll work on that this morn and call it a day for outside. Inside needs some attention while it rains and I'm home. Supposed to cool about 20 degrees and stay mid 70 couple days. Then mid 90s a few days. Make up your mind weather!

For now.... It's coffee time...help yourself. Having ginger snaps with mine. 😁

Just got up. Going to do chores, then have 40 ears of corn to make cream corn.

Need to get moving my body lately has decide that its going to wake me up every hour or so at night but as soon as its about the time i want to get up it goes in to a deep sleep and ignores my alarm. .. so rude. Oh well have alot of chores to get done inside and outside today 89 the high thats cool compared to what its been might decide to work more outside then inside.

Apparently they like to play catch!

Today is going to be SHORTER than yesterday!!!

The world is over! Darkness comes!!!!

And... we need a long dry spell so that I can get the 12 thousand paint projects painted..... that hasn't happened yet.

The trim board under a livingroom window is rotted....

I am planning on pulling it off today... wondering what horror I will find under it.

I am thinking I will start all of the scraping paint work.

With the lack of heat... the potatoes are doing NADA. Peas look totally gone from the pig excitement... pigs didn't root up any of the many weeds in the veggie garden... Luckily the cabbage still looks ok.

So.... outside veggie garden... looks like cabbage and some parsley is all that will get harvested.

Greenhouse still good.

Didn't pull off the rotted board.... ithonk I will buy a replacement and caulk first...

So... I just scraped flaking paint.
