Front Porch Chit Chat

[gumpy]

Have you found any calves yet?

 

[gumpy]

How was your day?

Tiring, but good. Laid the blocks on the South end wall. Tomorrow(oops! Today) I'll lay the North end wall.

I'm just waiting for some sunshine.

 

[Double R]

No not yet.
Brought the first group into the front calving pasture tonight. One looking closer for sure but they aren’t due for a few more weeks.
Having said that the one looking closer went a month early last year and the calf died. Expecting a storm tomorrow and that can cause labor too so just being extra cautious.

What wall are you building?
We had lovely weather today. Not warm but not real cold and the sun was out all day. It was lovely! I could hear the grass growing

Ya can't take too many precautions! I hope it's a profitable time for y'all.

Foundation wall for the house.

Is it time for grass to grow in California?

 

[Double R]

We do too. Thank you! This is an expansion year for us. We used heifer semen “this year” in some of our best cows. Super exciting calving for us this year. Hopefully they are awesome replacements!

Oh cool. Replacing or new?

Actually we usually have more by now. Lack of rain in December stalled it out. Was getting pretty nervous for a bit. Still not sure we’ll have enough but we’re seeing a possibility now.

New house. See the thread "Last house I will build". It's been an adventure!

It's in the"construction forum".
I'm going back to sleep. I had to get up and powder my nose!

 

[Double R]

Sweet dreams!
Glad we caught up!

Snow is falling outside and after several days running around I'm hiding inside today with the puppy. Snow won't last long as the temps are supposed to be back into the 50's by Saturday. Still nice to have the snow globe effect going outside. LOL

Im jealous. We usually have a couple of good snows, but we haven't had one in 2 or 3 years. We are in a horrible drought.

Yeah we had a bad summer 2 or 3 years ago but since then it's been a very happy amount of rain for the most part. Of course I've now jinxed the whole state but hey what you going to do. LOL

I had to throw a mini temper tantrum with Queensland Health because they ignored my surgeon's request for a specific physio that he trusts and made an appointment with the same barbarian
that made me bed ridden for three days after seeing her.
Bouts of temperament are exhausting but sometimes needs must.
The outcome was good though.
I got the appointment with the desired physio who is aware of my condition earlier than expected.
Fantastic.

Please,please, keep it there! I've had all the snow I want to see for many years!

Good for you! Dr's are smart but they don't know everything and they don't like to listen to the patient. Who knows more about their bodies than we do. Let us know how your next appt goes.

I hate having to fight to get healthcare stuff right. I am glad it all worked out for you.

I am still recovering from the flu but doing a lot better.

My friends were worn out from my son so they were planning to bring him back to me yesterday evening. I quickly called a neighbor and he was able to watch my son until my son's bedtime, and that gave me a few more hours to get ready to have him back home. I took him to daycare today myself and wore a face mask and it went fine. I took a nap this afternoon and I feel ready for another nap already.

Being more tired after sleeping, you're doing it wrong. LOL

Sleep is one of the best things you can do, imho! It gives your body strength to fight off the infection. I'm glad you're starting to recover. Keep it up.

How is everyone tonight?

 

[gumpy]

Peachy! What about you?

 

[Fort]

I am trying to stay up until I take my medications at midnight. I am tired but much better than I was.
