Coffee anyone ?

Hard rains woke me up a little after 2AM. Still pouring. Radar shows big wad of rain that will blow out maybe by mid morning. Got 1 inch yesterday, probably 2-3 more today. I lit the propane heater and Carson got up and laid in front of it.

Carson ain't dumb!

Rainy mess here, too. Goats hang in barns -- I'm working all week. Almost time to leave!

Sunshine -- where are you?????

Last night I pulled a pork butt roast out of the freezer, from 2021? Yikes. Smelled okay after a partial defrost in the microwave. Into the crock pot on a bed of sauerkraut, then a splash of soy sauce and a jar of shredded red cabbage and apples went on top. Set it to low.

About 4am I heard the garbage truck, smelled roast, so I got up to check it. Fork tender, nice. Into the refrigerator it went, will warm some up for supper. If it's too freezer burned then I will chop up some for the flock.

Hi all, just wanted to poke my head in. Feel like I've hardly been by since I moved this last time. Been some long but good days. I think of y'all most every morning when I get up to run.
Chilly weather here, temps in the negatives. Hoping y'all are having better weather then here.
Ok, car is running, bagel is ready, I have a Gatorade in hand, so it is probably time to head to work/school. I'll try to update my journal soon.

Storm passed on through, dumped 1 1/2” plus the inch from yesterday. Standing water, it’s soggy out there.

Dang it! It rained some more! Another 1 1/2” for 2 day total of 4 inches of rain.

Our yard is soppy...

...and the pork roast was really good! Most of what I ate tasted perfectly fine, one small bite tasted just a little freezer burned, but a dollop of applesauce fixed it.

Carrots and beans were from last year's garden.

When this snow melts it's going to be a pond next to our pole barn thanks to pigs. Going to have to watch it that it doesn't get too full and washout the top.
Get any rain like y'all are and it will be washing over.

Rain continues here, too.....more tomorrow. Every ditch and catchment I pass is brim full!! Do not need more. Bed in a few. Just took an Aleve. My right upper arm, shoulders & back are achy. All the product & shelf movements can get to ya. Right handed so, that side gets overworked back at it tomorrow, after coffee & chores.

@fuzzi that dinner looks amazing!!!! I've gotten into the habit of slapping one dish of anything together. I need to start cooking like an adult again.

It's 3am again. I'm wide awake & ready to make some coffee.
I have been struggling to get good sleep for quite some time, mostly because of pain in my hips & back. I finally gave in & ordered a mattress topper. 4" of memory foam & gel . It arrived Mon & I got it out of the vacuum pack and spread it on the bed to expand. When I got home Wed AM it was time to put the clean bedding on & try it out. GAME CHANGER!!!!! The only thing that woke me up was the cats coming & going (& a late night call from work). I haven't sleep that good in years. Only difficulty is getting out of the DEEP dent I created in that thick mattress.
..... so why am I up at 3am? I guess 10am to 3am of real sleep was FINALLY enough.
