Coffee anyone ?

Sunny and warm today. Mid 60s to low 70s next 3 days!!! . Cold front and rain sat night to sun morn, 40 temps. I'm loving it! Looks like sun will be a cook day....I'm wanting a pound cake and hens have started laying some eggs...about time they all look real pretty with the new feathers.

Planing to move these small trees and limbs we've cut last week. Some will be cut for small logs to burn eventually, others in burn pile. Was held up until I took the defective tractor battery in for full exchange. . Starts right up now...worked on tractor several hrs yesterday. Fall clean up time. Got more diesel, good to go again.

I love tractor therapy.

Circling zero F

Not going to melt all that snow with those temps!

Above freezing today, might make 50 °F tomorrow. Really not seasonal. 8 year old propane furnace in the rebuilt part of the house (north building) stopped working 2 days ago. Can't find anyone to fix it yet. OLD oil furnace in the original building (south end of the house) still working fine as is the woodstove in the south end of it. We're doing OK since there is a staircase in both buildings. Heat from the woodstove and oil furnace goes up the staircase in that building, through the doorway into the second floor of the rebuilt one. Floor fan in the first floor doorway between the buildings blows air from the north building back into the south building causing a convection current nown the north building stairwell and is heating the first floor of the north building.

Glad you aren't fully without heat.

House is always a mess. Can't be helped. Just waiting for it to get light so I can start the morning rounds--chicks in the greenhouse, cats in the wellhouse, lambs in the barn, chickens in the vegetable garden, ducks in the goat shelter, and main sheep flock in the north pasture.

And a partridge in a pear tree!

Me too, otherwise I'd think I was in YOUR house!

Coffee is ready, gonna be a drizzly day here. Think I

Coffee is ready. Going to meet at my sister's in Conroe this evening to get the granddaughters. The 14 year old has her itinerary mapped out. I scarcely see her except to pick her up from one friend's house and shuttle her to another. LOL Or maybe to the movie. The 2 little ones still thing Mamaw is cool. I'm gonna enjoy that for as long as it lasts.

My day was looong! Up at 5 to feed and dress to leave at 6:30 for dentist at 8. Heck of a way to start the day! . But. Usual hour drive but, I allowed extra due to work probable traffic. I was surprised at the ease of drive, needing no extra time. Then spent 2 hrs, that felt like a lifetime, with everything they had in my mouth. I swear. Air, water, suction, drill, mirrors, fingers...a jackhammer? Well I left with both sides of face numb! Went home for a couple Tylenol and ibuprofen....plus a little cat nap. Nothing hurts but, little sore everywhere. Really happy to close my mouth!!

Weather great. So went outside for a while, communing with animals. Not in mood for any projects, always tomorrow. Enjoyed walking some fields, hugging a neck or two. And it was a five egg day! . The girls are getting back into the swing of things!

Tomorrow's weather predicted to be another warm, decent day....and Sunday to start good then ending with wind, rain and cool, overnight and into Monday. It'll be ok.

Hope everyone had a great day! Catch you for morning coffee.

I’ve had dental work and have more to come soon. It’s a hell of a note to get it done but worth it especially these days. Very best wishes. The tooth fairy is still pretty mad at me.

And it was a five egg day!

Yay for 5 egg days!

I had a 6 egg day, which sounds great, until I remember that I have 55 hens of laying age and 15 ducks. They’re all a bunch of slackers!
