Yeah, hubby says that all the time



HOT tea is awesome. I love coffee too, it just doesn't love me back

Hot tea's good for sore throats but nothing else.

We have 17 and they eat most of the leaves from our downed trees and branches from the past storm. Made clean up a lot easier!

If you have any wild cherry trees, watch out. At a certain time, they're toxic to cattle; not sure about goats, though. I think they're o.k. if the leaves are alive, but there's a period after they've broken off & fallen to the ground that they're toxic, but after a while there's no problem. If you haven't already, you might want to check with your local ag agent.

That's probably why I don't like it. Bad childhood memories of being forced to drink it whenever I was sick.

Same deal for me and ginger ale.

@mlm Mike The shows are the last weekend on Oct, and 2rd in Nov, for me.

Wow that's quite a ways out to keep a bird looking good especially in your heat.
How's the new toad planting coming along?
Are the toads surviving the heat?

Hi Pensmaster! Good luck with the squirrels.

White oaks, water oaks & hickory fell. I real shame was the Hickory. That is one of our only few Hickory trees.
Oak trunks went onto the fire place rack and the hickory left in a sunny location and stacked for the bbq days. The supermarket wants $4.95 for a small bag of hickory smoking chips. Irma gave us $25,000 worth for the price of a tad bit of chains saw fuel & oil.

FLIES ARE IN THEIR PEAK CYCLE RIGHT NOW! I am going nuts with them biting me today. Gunna set my fly traps after lunch. They are driving me batty!

Almost have the mess cleaned up from the tree cutting the pig area in half. It divided the back area and trapped one of our Boars in with the sows. He knocked them all up of course. Unplanned litters are the worst kind. Especially muti litters at once. The Berkshire Sow is close to labor anyway. The rule of thumb is.. 3 months, 3 weeks, 3 days. We have a short time to get her isolated and bedded.
The trees falling have kept the hot wire box shut off. Knocked out an area that feeds the back grid.The critters do what they want now. Another Boar has ripped up all his stand offs and destroyed a fence without that 8000 volts keeping him in line.
Repair after repair after repair. sos different day. No stopping to smell the roses for awhile. The Goats ate them.

A few Goats could do the dirty work for ya! hehe

I think I'm one panic attack away from leaving everything (and everyone ) behind. I'll definitely get goats if I do leave this life behind.

Shhhh! Mike... Stop telling people that I ate cake for breakfast 2 days in a row. Its bread I tell ya, bread.

For the record, I like hot tea, cold tea, hot coffee, frozen mocha frappes & I don't think I've ever met an ice cream flavor I didn't like. Ben & Jerry are some of the best friends I've ever had (even if they are enablers.)
