It's freaking cold AGAIN!!!! Yesterday was a Spring teaser. The temps were in the mid 60's. I worked outside all day in a t-shirt and jeans and broke a sweat. Today when I woke up it was 16* with a wind chill around 0*.
Still waiting on my rabbit to kindle (day 31). She hasn't pulled fur yet. Now I'm hoping she waits until Wednesday when it warms up a bit.
The hubs decided to take his own stitches out :/ His appointment is tomorrow and they were going to do it. I guess he's feeling rebellious. I'm glad it's cold so he won't have the desire to go outside. He was on his leg too much this weekend and it got really swollen.
Turkeys are now living with the Uncle. My little one actually played outside yesterday. I guess Tom really scared the crap out of her. I didn't have to watch my back while doing chores or while walking through the yard. It was nice for a change, but I miss seeing them in the yard.
I sold 6 dozen eggs this weekend. My hens are on a roll and I'm getting almost a dozen a day. The other day I got 18!!!! My goal is to make $30/week with farm goodies, so this is a start.
Yesterday I spent time with my goat Lady. It was funny to watch her do all the things I thought were labor related (I was a maniac last year lol). She's already laying around groaning like she's miserable. Poor girl has three months left. She's getting pretty big. I hope she has a doe this time :)
Friday and Saturday we had no kids at home. Yesterday the walking disasters were all here. So cleaning and laundry is on the agenda.
Have a great day ya'll ☺
It is warm here today, I am in tshirt and jeans and sweating. Sleet is due tomorrow and later snow. I am for sure staying in and bread baking! Good job on the farm sales. I live so far off the beaten path, I would have to deliver to make any sales!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe this Winter, it's crazy cold!
DeleteI delivered my eggs, but it was on the way to the store and on the way to wash my car :) I'm hoping next time I can meet people at the school when I'm picking my daughter up. That would be convenient!
I am in shorts here today, got clothes hanging outside and all the windows open. However...Tomorrow is suppose to be rainy and a cold rain on Wed. Some are even calling for a "Wintery Mix" --in Florida! lol crazy, wonky weather!
ReplyDeletePS: Oh yea...good job on the farm sales, that is my agenda too when we finally can move up to SC. Already got the materials ready there for my chicken coop, and our youngest wants a turkey..may have to re-think that idea.
DeleteI wont have turkeys again. You should get one and see how it goes for your family. You never know until you do it yourself :) I hope you guys get to move soon. It's fun planning out the homestead. Everything takes time, so when you do get to move you will probably be overwhelmed with all the things you want to do (I was). Looking back it's amazing to see what all we've done in four years.
DeleteI can't believe you are already wearing shorts! This has been the coldest Winter ever. I can't wait for Summer!
That's awesome regarding the eggs. We have 15 hens and get just enough for my own family. During summer I do barter them or gift my family some. They do enjoy them too.
ReplyDeleteI have 44 chickens and a lot are bantams so I just sell the bigger eggs. I just priced eggs at the store. Large ones are $2.09 a dozen and I only charged $2. I may need to go up on my price :)
DeleteWarm here except at night but it will end tonight as your weather finally gets here. We have almost made it to February and that is a short month!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think about that!!!! Now that's something to look forward to :)
