Wide awake at 3AM. Got a load of laundry on, folded load in dryer and put away. Stripped bed, got piles of laundry to do. Going to make lasagna and potato soup today and freeze it.
I’m stocked up on feed and dog food, plus everything I could think of for me. Going to sons house for last minute things, whatever that is. LOL

Ahhhhh……. COFFEE

I've got a ton of things to get done- you know the kind that you see and say 'round-tuit'!?! Then of course the shiny object syndrome kicks in - 'oh go do this first' and the other stuff -ends up in the 'round-tuit' bin 🤣 Slugged down the first cuppa and a piece of cake and out the door deciding today is LSD -- LOOK - SEE - DO. Already got a bunch done - moved the pea pots, fertilized squash, worked sheep and dogs, seeded the pasture with hay (feeling like someone who works at the zoo, putting a flake here, another over there, etc) . Fixed some fence stuff, put in a trellis for beans and peas. Straightened up in the barn - every time I finish off a bale I hang the twine (can always use that stuff, almost as good a duct tape :rolleyes:) and I always wonder about the colors. Is there any logic to the colors of the baling twine - other than whatever they have??? So far orange, blue, yellow, black, white and baby blue.

Cup #2 ☕ almost done, time to get back at it.
And our temps today - 66 to 88. Hopefully the last hot spell - looking forward to flannel.
Happy Sunday All.
Do you have multiple kinds of hay you are using? Here alfalfa is always purple, white or white & blue but coastal always only has red. I figure it's probably just what they have available

@frustratedearthmother yes, you counted right. And one will be bred. She's dtr to recently bought Cosmo. Still looking for 3 more does...hoping traditional color but, I buy bodies so color is 2nd. Goat math. :lol: now I'm looking at registry crap again. Formality mostly, plus knowing their genetics. I'm raising meat...want good $ sales...young & chunky.

Even considering all males from dairy girls being pulled and bottled. Lining up with some buyers first...but $ may be worth the effort. 🤔
