Coffee anyone ?

Well surgery on my arm is scheduled for April 18th at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. 6 weeks recovery time. That puts me out until May 30th. But it should take care of it or at the least stop anymore damage from occurring.
 
Hope you find time for the ride!

Coffee was great this AM. Another day of 30 degrees at wake-up --- and it DID wake me! Tired of the cold. I am not a fan of cold weather and I feel it's time to warm up.

Making lists and notes for things I hope to get done next week while off 4 days straight.. One is to drive to the store I found about an hour away that sells the cheese making "stuff". First doe kidded and others due soon, so I want to have the enzymes, rennets, whatevers, at hand before milking begins in about a month. May be the only time I see for a while. Hey, it's 1/2 a day between drive & browsing there. I don't always have that time :D Besides -- it will be like something fun on my "mini vacay". :lol: Once milking chores are added to my schedule, time becomes really, really tight. But, my life style choice -- all good. They do mail out, so that is what I will do once I view it all. :D =D

Yesterday started cold and I was good until I went to work. Man, my mood was bad! Even I didn't want to deal with me. (glad I work alone) Guess I just didn't WANT to go to work :D That "wanting to stay home" is getting stronger each month. Can't wait until this time next year when I "HOPE" that I have accomplished enough goals to actually "retire". Right now, I need some "fun time". Figure I can get that easier than winning the lottery.

Everyone go love on your new animal babes, new animal farm members (Mel, Ringo, etc.) and enjoy your day! :caf
 
It was 34 this morning when putting DD1 on the bus. Brrrr! It’s April. Time to warm up!

DS and DD2 go back to preschool this week since spring break is over.

All four bottle babies are growing good.

Jewel is in heat. Keeping her from getting bred adds to the chaos. I had her spat scheduled. DH decided he isn’t ready for that yet. Ugh! Back to the discussion board on that one.
 
We had small hail or huge sleet for about 40 seconds yesterday afternoon.
Frost yesterday morning.
"Thunder in Feb = frost in April" has been accurate again.
 
I only had to protect Gabbie from outside "concerns", but the toddler pull-ups did work really well with the mess....but we used the cloth doggie diaper as a covering....like the old rubber pants that was used on a cloth diaper.....it helped to hold the pull-up in place....and an added barrier.....:)
 
Yawn...

We homeschool so wake up at 8..... today we had to get up at 7 :eek:

The kids looked like zombies. I decided to make them do the state testing this year. Not sure why they don't make the testing for homeschoolers later in the day... no way will they test well. :idunno


As a result I am paying for my morning coffee. :barnie:he
