At least you don't need to write the check for a couple of months.
Coffee anyone ?

Coffee is on.
Up early dreaming about rabbits. No kits yet. Can feel a kit in Ninja, I told her she needs to release them. Day 32. I need to clean cage trays today.... wish she had had them.don't like to disturb them too much their due date.
oh well.
Got our taxes done early February..... I just want them done but we usually get a refund.
I tell DH he needs to have less taken out.
Yesterday was lovely, got a flower bed cleaned out. The public schools are now closed for the rest of the school year....the largest employer in our area, a factory is closed for 2 weeks.

Good morning...lost two piglets..maybe three. You don’t do a farrow ing box with mini pigs...per @The_V's and the other farms where we bought the minis from. The moms aren’t built right for a crate. So, unfortunately, some get hurt. It’s horribly awful. O the upside...they look like walking banana S!! No lie!! They are adorable!! Most of my stuff is video..so I have to convert it to YouTube to put it on here..,but I do have some pictures...you’ve GOT to see them walking around..it’s just hysterical....

Update, th3 third little guy, did pass. Buried it with his sisters....so very tough. Goat kids are much easier, because the moms are better to them and not vicious to us!!

Didn’t get to the weed cloth yesterday, but finished out the cardboard. Pulled some grass out of the tomato trellis and called it a day. We got our two little granddaughters for the night, their mom will pick them up around 2 pm. Watching cartoons. LOL I’ll do animal chores on a little while.

Pot of hot coffee right there, waiting.....have some! It's pretty good. Fresh milk also....tea bags if you'd rather that. I'm stocked.
Looking out at the wind that continues to annoy me. It's been cool last few days with a front that passed thru and then come back! More like Fall than Spring. Have to get out there and I'm not anxious to Up and to work early all week, so took the opportunity to slow it some today as I only have a "short" day. 65 inside -- cold to me, summer shorts weather for Alaskan. It's warming back up in coming week and, right now, work next week is slack. But that changes quickly. Doing what I need in prep for any "work to stop" that happens.
Grasses are starting to become active. Good! I want to stop using hay. LOL Guess I need to go toss some of that to those who think they are starving -- Aaaaaannd, need to see what customers want some of these EGGS. Oh, found another hen who wants to be broody…..that's 2, and #3 possible. Well, it is that time of year. They are ready, not sure I am but may set up for it this weekend and get things moving along for chicks. They're on golf balls now. Somehow, not excited at this very moment. I'm sure that will change, once I get a day off to recharge.

We are both self employed so don't get refunds. We also don't always get all the quarterlies in. Oops. You can get a refund if your quarterlies are over estimated, but I don't feel real incentivized to pay out extra money then get it back later.
Because that money could be working for us in the savings account earning a stunning .25 cents a month!

Do you have any credit unions there in Idaho? Check and see what kind of checking accts they have. Mine here pays me 2.25% interest on average daily balance, if I use my debit card 15 times a month for a total of $150. That's not hard to do with gas and groceries and any other stuff I do. The savings account doesn't pay much at all, so I just keep the required amount, plus about $100-200 as a cushion in case I get short for some reason, then the rest stays in the checking account. I earned about $50-60 last year on the checking.... don't keep a huge balance, but I do make sure I use the card enough to get the interest on whatever is in there. I missed the 15 times/150 in Feb and March due to the surgery and all, but still hit it for 10 times/ 100 minimum for a .75% interest for those 2 months.....Only about 1.00 in March I guess, but still more than nothing.
