Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

Sun up here but, not so early. . Really cold out there!!!! I'll be doing chores, then the glasses and phone shopping that I didn't do yesterday. But, I did e-file taxes yesterday. Got to assembling papers and decided to just get over with it. Then it was too late to go on a 2 hr round trip drive, plus time there. Too cold to work outside today, so it's fine. We're at 25, plus wind chills.... WAY colder than we usually have.

Coffee is hot and good, as it was chilly inside at wake up. Dreading chores!! . Five layers and cuss. These are the days we consider life without animals....I'm certain there will be water tubs iced over big time! GRRRR. . Carry a hammer along. Hot water to some...? Can hardly wait!

We're having some type of front -- or 2 -- this weekend. They can't decide snow or rain. All the models are switching around each day. Oh well! It will be something...

Better get on out there.

Good morning, figured I would pop on here for a second. Having my first day off at home in a really long time. Probably going to go ride my horse in an hour, maybe go on a feed run, and maybe get some cookies made.

 

[Mini Horses]

yes,, weighing everything,, life without animals????? no, yes, no????
but in these time we live, planning wisely, long term, can old old lady grandma do all of this in 10years??
DH is 72, works like a 40yr old but its tough,

One day I'll be close....meaning fewer....within another 10 yrs. . The nasty weather can be a challenge. There is not as much strength in old muscles but, I loaded and unloaded feed (6-50#rs) and moved 8 bale's of hay...60-65#...truck to storage trailer. Fed everyone 2X, checked waterers, and made trip to get my glasses, stopped at library and 2 local 2nd hand stores. All in all, I'm still toughing it out! There are challenges. Oh, I still work a job, too. . Just dead slack work right now and for another week or two.

So, yeah, you probably can! . I'll be 76 soon...not ready for full time rocking chair. Well, SOME days I am.... You learn different ways to handle things, work smarter and slower.

Coffee is ready. I did stretches. The back of my legs need stretching. I take shorter steps because of knee pain. So I sit on the bed and reach for my toes. I’m going to keep stretching until I can touch my nose to my knees. Then I did 20 sit ups. The sit ups strengthens my back muscles.

Brownies are cooking! I started to fix a responsible breakfast of oatmeal, but decided on brownies instead. Almost ready! Going to work outside today, I need brownies!

 

[Mini Horses]

Brownies are good with coffee! Good morning there....but, from experience, can say they don't work well for long term satisfaction on nutritional needs. . So, have a good lunch.. It's 25 here this morning...and house was only 56 at get up....I'm thinking coffee IV to warm up!!! Anything in the oven would be nice to warm things up. They say warming to upper 40s. I can hardly wait!!! I prefer heat.

News still talking empty shelves at stores and the extreme price increases still happening. Shoppers lamenting cost to eat, which I appreciate! So I'll give a special thank you to my egg layers this morning, even with the increased feed costs! I suppose those young roos won't understand THEIR thank you for future contributions to the dumplings...... But I will!! Once kidding starts, I'll possibly buy a feeder pig since extra milk will be available to help feeding. It's an option for summer freezer fill. . On fence with that.

Yesterday I received some garden porn in the mail. . Don't need seed but, it's so tempting!!

Good morning. So far it's been a long day. 4;30 start to the day. I hooked the cows up to the milk machine because I just don't have the patience today. I need about 4 more cups of coffee. 36* degrees and cloudy. I need to clean the bird houses today.

 

[Cecilia's-herd]

I have a Doctor's appointment this afternoon so I better start cleaning now! Ya'll have a good day. Take care of yourselves.

Yep, being forced as mine is so old it won't be supported soon....per their text. But offering a free to exchange...?? Can't believe but...sure it isn't the big fancy kind.

Free probably means a refurbished lower end smartphone. But there is nothing wrong with that. They test a really small percentage of new phones but fully test a refurb. Probably one somebody turned in when they got a fancier phone. I'm not even sure what a real fancy expensive phone has that a basic smartphone doesn't. Clearly I don't need whatever it is

Better camera and faster speeds. That's basically it.

Went to Verizon...offering me a NEW flip with higher speeds...$9.99....or $50 off any phone. Since it have until end of 22, no rush. . Unfortunately, I looked a several new devices....a tablet and a hotspot device and phones. I'm mulling over price options, device capabilities, etc. The hotspot device is JUST that but can use at home or take anywhere, keeps current tablet operable and rid of Dish at home. Faster, too. Can use for anyone I want to allow use. It's all a lot to consider and absorb. For me anyway. I can buy the data I want or need....there's that. Cost I have to check but, so far this would all be with no contracts. Just considerations.

Turned to be a decent day. Upper 40s. Now, just have to take the air compressor to the tractor, in the field....that part isn't even decent!. Manure happens!!
