Eh, I've been bemused with melancholy thoughts of late, spurred by the dull and dreary overcast days of late winter. Weather by Cybil here, warm and rain, cold and snow then warm and plenty of mud and more drizzling rain. I do have a few seedlings growing. The overcast days are not helping the germination times. Not even close to the number of plants required to fill up my gardens but a good start for some early production.
No baby goats yet. I keep watching to make sure I'm not caught by surprise this year. I am hoping the 3 does I have left all kid trouble free. I'd like to have a goat free house this year, LOL. Goober cow looks huge and only time will tell if we have a healthy calf in there. I am excited thinking about the dexter jersey cross. Hopefully it won't look like the pot bellied pig (weeman) with horns!
So, not much happening around the farm beyond stomping thru the mud and feeding critters. LOL, good thing because we can't afford much else! Come on spring and better days!
Oldies But Goodies...!

I wish this weather would make up its mind. I am personally over winter since the only snowy weather vehicle is down with a bad transmission. On the plus side, Accuweather has us above the average in temps and moisture for February.
ReplyDeletecold in n.e.mississippi the last few days, but the water in the "moat" gullly surrounding my home has gone down. still gotta use the foot bridges though-i hate stomping through mud-too much like stepping into doo doo. one thing for sure about this icky weather-it has kept me at the sewing machine almost every day. i have not started any of my seeds yet but giving it some real serious thought. sure wish i had a greenhouse and wondering if i can borrow a corner of my neighbors. caryn/n.e.ms.
ReplyDeleteI hear you! I'm so sick of the mud puddles & daily drizzle. Pour rain or snow...just get it over with! I know we will appreciate the moisture this summer. After last years drought I keep looking for more rainbarrels thinking "if I could only save some of this" No seeds started here yet, I think I'm about 2 weeks behind you in weather...
ReplyDeleteI bought a sixpack of Brussel Sprouts. Maybe i will not kill them! Walking on my grass is like walking on a sponge, all squishy. I really need to get some seeds going.
ReplyDeleteThe turnip seeds I sowed several months ago have sprouted and just sat there, all short and healthy looking. So, they should have been sown later...sigh. Turnip greens is the goal. The turnips will be given away.
It is going to be in high 60s this next ten days and there will be little rain and certainly no snow. YAY
I do hope all the babies are healthy and you have no house goats.
