I hear ya.
I'm tired of the cold and damp though. Blessed we didn't have MORE cold and snow.
60 tomorrow and 70 Monday, then back to the 50s for a bit.
I need to transplant the oak tree seedlings that are in the house. They've stopped growing, which I think means they've bottomed out in their pots.
The barn was very quiet this morning, sadly. Sigh.
It's the 3 oldest boys left, who are all half brothers, 14-12 and 11 years old. The spunk, but not the personality is missing.
OC the chickens are still entertaining me with their antics, but dang it.
Hey, any one tried the snail method...
Yes! Russian olive. Huge thorns and sharp. They go right through shoe soles and leather.
The herd wasn't around when the vet came. They were out on pasture. But when they came in for dinner, they noticed. They looked at his pen and at me, at the pen and me. Omg. Crushed.
I purchased a dough kneading machine as dough is too hard on the KitchenAid. Yes, I know they SAY it can handle it, but all the 5 machines I've killed, I've killed with dough.
The little machine mixes and warms and rises my dough, punches down and remixed and rises again if I want, and then I...

64 degrees today and windy. I spent the whole afternoon chainsawing down invasive cedar trees in the...
I've only had problems with having multiple roos once. And it was creepy. Got rid of all of them.
Every other time I've kept two roos at once, no problems at all.
I'm currently down to one.
On my list for next month. I think this year I'm going to go the oiled sand storage route with my expensive hoe. I've already redone the handle as it tried to peel off the lacquer that the creator put on it.
The vet bill is only for a compassionate end.
I am the attending for everything else. There are no camelid vets within 6 hours of me. We all know what to do and what meds to use and how to use them. So worming, nail care, teeth, shots....all on us.
I've been giving them 3 shots a day...
Alpaca #3 is on the list for the vet. Sigh.
The vet is down with the seasonal flu, so all I can do is keep the noodle-neck comfortable until he gets better and come out. I have plenty of his meds here to do so, and he's not hurting and he's still eating and drinking. He just cannot get up any...
