Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

What a wonderful day! Beautiful weather and I came home to brand new twin doelings Dry, full tummy, with their FF mom -- who's doing great! They even came to me for petting. That was a surprise. Probably about 3 hrs old then.

Another doe is in the barn, early labor. Barn checks will happen until she kids and all that. There's some low moaning going on. I'd love her to get done before way into the daybreak hours...oh, doe kids would be extra nice.

Pics are on other device. Will add later.

new girls .

Kids dropped, ligs gone, moaning & in a kidding jug. It's time!

Right now I'm at 4 buck/3 doe kids....all white. Saanen.

Brat had kids about 11:00. Twin boys. Oh, well, it's fine. Mom & kids doing great. Just in from last check for night. All full tummies, mom expelled placenta, I cleaned pen. To bed, to bed. Even got some colostrum to freeze. 5:30 will come very soon!

Everyone have a great day -- when the sun comes up.

Lack of sleep must be contagious... I didn't sleep that great either.

The edges of the pond have melted, so

And today I am setting some duck eggs in the incubator for a friend.

Need to push that far west where they need it.

I would guess you would prefer dry over rain at the moment.

Morning all! Todays the day, finally having zurgery to free up the nerve in my left elbow. Six weeks from today I should be back to full action. DS3 has been a life saver with chores and helping me around the place.

I prefer dry over rain at any moment.
It is pouring and storming like mad here currently.


ISSUED: 4:13 AM APR. 18, 2019 – NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE
...SIGNIFICANT WEATHER ADVISORY FOR EASTERN WHARTON...GALVESTON...
SOUTHERN SAN JACINTO...FORT BEND...SOUTHEASTERN MONTGOMERY...
BRAZORIA...CHAMBERS...LIBERTY...CENTRAL MATAGORDA...SOUTHERN POLK AND
HARRIS COUNTIES UNTIL 515 AM CDT...

At 412 AM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking a line of strong
thunderstorms along a line extending from North Cleveland to
Langwood to near Brazos Bend State Park. Movement was east at 50 mph.

Winds in excess of 40 mph will be possible with these storms.

Moving that fast, it shouldn't last much longer tho.....there appears to be a 2nd line behind this one.

This interactive map shows air movement..and wind. Every time a low moves across Texas from West to East, the low pressure funnels Gulf moisture up ahead of the dry line that is currently sill out in central Tx. The whole mess is moving East North East, so the mid South and SouthEast are gonna get a good helping of this too.
