I have one cucumber plant. It had 5 cucumbers on it, not enough for pickles, so I bought more at the farmers market Saturday. I got 7 pints of my lime spicy sweet pickles. Would have had 8 pints, but I knocked one jar over before I got it capped. Hot syrup and pickles went down slices went...

Coffee is ready! Going for my second cup. Another scorching day today. Got an inch of rain Saturday, it has cooled down to only a high of 90F today. :lol:

Happy Birthday! I hope your day is filled with joy and happiness.

I love to stomp in puddles! Some kids never grow up. Got one inch of rain yesterday. Thirsty dry ground soaked it right up. There were no outside vendors at the farmers market, just those with inside pavilion places. I bought some cucumbers to go with the few that I had, to make pickles with...

On second cup of coffee, church this morning, I teach the kids class. They are fun. We don’t always stick to the script, tend to wander, discussion on the story may take us elsewhere, but it’s all ok. Preacher’s wife and I switch out every quarter, she’s more stick to the script and serious. Her...

Good morning y’all. Finishing my coffee, gonna get outside early and get animals taken care of. It’s cloudy, lightening is flashing and I don’t want to be out in the rain if I wait until later. There are pop up showers, sneaky things that come out of nowhere. It might rain here, might not. I’m...

Thank y’all for the admiration for all the work I do. But I have to be honest, this heat and humidity is dragging me down. It doesn’t take long and I’m a pool of sweat, I have to take breaks to cool off. If I’m working outside, I have to quit around 10 or 11 AM. In the evening I go out and feed...

I went to the feed store Monday. Carson LOVES the feed store, a kind lady always gives him a dog biscuit. The whole back seat is his, the seat folds up out of the way.

Frimplepants, granddaughter of Ewenique, had twins last night. She is a great mother and raises beautiful lambs. The ewe lamb is a little smaller and not as strong as the ram lamb, but Frimplepants has lots of milk and the ewe lamb will catch up. I put them in the pen with Ewenique and Mystique...

All 3 girls went for Pepper to be put down. They all cried, but wanted to be there for her. I admire them for being so brave and loving.

Poor little guy didn’t make it. He was so small, undersized, and never learned how to suck. He crashed yesterday morning, unresponsive, so I just held him. Sometimes no matter what I do, I just can’t save them. He had things going on that I could not overcome.

Poor little lamb never learned to suck. I slept 3 nights in my recliner, holding him on my chest, wrapped up to keep him warm. I fed him every 2-3 hours around the clock. Yesterday morning he crashed, unresponsive, so I just held him. I buried him in the front yard that catches the morning sun...

Coffee is ready. I’m tired, slept in recliner holding newborn lamb all night. He woke me up often, he pooped, peed and took some colostrum. We are on day 2 of a brand new life.

Little lamb has had breakfast, 1 police officer colostrum. Hahaha! OUNCE! Where did police officer come from? He wobbled over to the other recliner and laid down. Thought better of it and wobbled over to Carson. I slept in my recliner and held him all night. He woke me up at midnight, 2, 3 and...

Was going to mow goat weed today but plans changed. Ewenique had twins. A big strapping healthy girl and a tiny undersized diminutive weak boy. Boy couldn’t suck. Ewenique is a great mom, I’m thrilled to have another ewe from her. She is 11 years old, life expectancy is 10-12 years for a sheep...
