:lol:
Oh no! These ladies are getting on the spay train as soon as I can get them signed up. One's a tom (cheerio w/2 pom pom), the other four are ladies (tacos) so we need to take no chances! The mess potential is high there. If they need that many cats...I think I'd rather home school. :hide
Wow, I've never thought about it in a "what would it cost to replace me" kind of way. Our household would be brought to its knees and cease to function is all I really know. We've got another two to three years of chaos from the youngest if he's like his brothers. He'd require a nanny all his...
I don't think getting upset at the teacher would work here. Definitely better to move on especially when the boss wants the man to move. They'd find a way to gaslight or brush off my child because he's a minor and a "he said/she said" with a well connected teacher vs student could only result...
Wow, DH told me today that the 48 hour total for that storm system was over 12" of rain.
We did pretty good considering.
Looks like it's time for some more.
Kid tattooing, trailer practice, meeting our realtor, and more talking with moving people on the docket for this week.
*edited from 10" to...
6.57" of rain yesterday.
Animals are fine, fences are fine, shop very flooded (cleaned that and milked). Displaced turtles of various species everywhere. Did not check the far side of the fence in case there were more than turtles everywhere in the hip high clover I planted. We're going to be a...
That's a little scary. Then you can be like Centralia, PA. Permanently burning.
I don't know how many requirements there were for septic here 25-30 years ago for "backwoods" houses. Our septic didn't work great when everything flooded and was under water (apart from the house itself). I...
Locals are saying we've had the highest water levels since 2010. I guess we'll what our rain fall totals are later.
Feeling lucky my basement isn't even damp.
Last two years WE droughted and caught fire. Hopefully this means there will be more funds for your area as most of the rest of us are in a wet year. Up until this year were were in a cycle with only a few bad storms and the rest dry as a bone with wildfires until winter. I guess we could still...
The Tennessee mud has expanded, swollen up, turned to slime, and is washing away in today's rain and floods and taking our roads and culverts with it so the county emergency management is asking people to stay put and not travel tonight and tomorrow. No school tomorrow! We also did not...
I've been going through and cutting out the pockets so they can't trap debris and facilitating growing out like I usually do and it works. Nobody goes lame and the pocket growth is halted and it gradually grows out. Am I supposed to be doing something else in addition?
We're getting our 2" of rain today and of course everything is flooding...as we do. I've put off chores since everything is stable and taken the little guy to Kroger for a fruit bowl and am waiting on him to wake up and the rain to take a break.
He's not feeling like waking up and the rain is...
...and then Dan found a very tiny feral kitten on our property. Now we have a new kitten. :barnie
I gotta get out of here before Dan finds any more of the feral cats the neighbor feeds.
BARN KITTEN. (Just in case Dan can read this)
I took Bailey off her MSM supplement as an experiment because it contains green tea extract which in turn contains caffeine. I figured that if I'm having trouble with a dog's actions and it could cost them their life, they should probably not be caffeinated on a daily basis. She's suddenly less...
You know, Texas is not doing a good job convincing me it's a good place to move. It seems you're either in drought or immersed in flooding. And speaking of moving to Texas, is @Ridgetop doing okay?
In complement to Baymule's link, here is a similar method if you need to see it. I referenced both when I was learning. If there are differences in fecal/solution amounts between the two obviously try to follow one or the other to preserve the provided ratio.
That's a really good idea, especially with the way lambs grow. That ewe milk must be rocket fuel.
I've left bales of my courser alfalfa in the feeders in the barn for them all this time for my does but we only go through about two bales a week, maybe four if it rains a lot. THAT has more fiber...
April's milk test results are in.
Emmi 11.6 lbs
Snowflake (mini saanen)11.8lbs
Hera 8 lbs
Summer 11.2 lbs
Dot (FF lamancha) 7.6 lbs
Iris (mini saanen) 10.6 lbs
Our mini saanens are doing what our mini saanens do and everyone else is performing about how I expected they would.
We are starting to...
