COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

I heard from a TSA agent that as early as fall your CDC Vaccination card will be needed to fly domestically in the US

Well... I won't be flying anyway and I can just about already tell how good a job they'll be doing on that bunch of paperwork. I asked my health department for paperwork for us back in January and have not received it. Joe actually needed it to get back in his adult programs. They took him anyway ?. Next we'll have counterfit CDC cards.?

I'm going to hit the hay.
Didn't sleep much last night with the winds howling and I'll only fall asleep on the sofa if I don't climb into bed.
So Nos Da - enjoy the rest of your Thursday!

Nos Da. It's March and I was wondering where all the wind was until today. Hopefully since March came in like a lamb it won't go out like a lion... but I'm not counting on it.?

Just a few weeks ago and we were way below freezing with forecasts for more additional light snow. Right now, in the shade 76 degrees. Whew. I’m roasting. We did finish up shredding all of the tree limbs cut from our Maple tree pruning. Usually we carry all the limbs back to our woodshed area and just let the mulch fly freely. This time we moved the shredder to the pile and let the chips collect into a large “potato sack”. So, we used all of our “home grown” mulch and spread it around six of our poplar trees. Later, once it cools, maybe some deck stain.

Nice your getting some good weather. Dont stain the deck. Your getting more snow. ⛷?

CDR Virtual Vacations presents On this day 2020: Our last day in Tasmania was spent in Tahune in the heart of the native forest. Andrew visited here in 2010 and described it as the most dense forest he’d seen. A forest fire started by lightning 13 months before has changed the landscape somewhat, but it’s good to see the forest recovering so quickly.



And then we started the long journey home... first hop Hobart to Sydney. Sydney airport was eerily deserted. For the first time we wore the face masks we had packed in case of bushfire problems in Melbourne back in January. Covid was suddenly starting to seem real.

Good mornooning all. I’m pleased to report that neither JoesDad nor I appear to have any side effects from our vaccines yesterday. The wind has died down a bit, but it’s still pretty blustery out there.

Night visitors: The feed station was empty this morning and the camera revealed why.

The hog on the left is the bigger of the two we already have visiting (identified by marks on its back) and the one emerging looks bigger still, so we have a third.



Lots of frog eyes in the pond


and a fox.

Good morning Friends!

here’s my update on the farm..

So Yesterday was a week in incubation for my chicken eggs... only two out of 23 were infertile and those two were eggs from a frizzle mixture I think.. so two more weeks to go until hatch..

my feed store ladies are doing well. One of my Buff‘a had a dried poop ball obstructing her poop path and was getting in a bad way. When I realized it last night, I took her and held her butt under warm running water until the ball starting softening enough for me to remove it.. She immediately unloaded at least half her body weight in waste and is very happy and active this morning .. Gross I know, but alive n well most importantly..?


not sure if I mentioned, but I had taken Ready ( the horse) a few weeks back to the vet and had a full allergy panel ran on him... it turns out that he is allergic to most everything that makes him a horse... a few of the main ones being Bermuda & Rye grass, Deer flies and mosquitos, soy beans, etc... So that Means, no hay, special feed, and constant insect armor... He is a perfect candidate for treatment via allergy injections.. The company (Spectrum) that did the testing actually creates a medication that is specific to his allergy needs and works over a period of time to build his immunity...I decided to go this route and yesterday received his shipment of meds.. He tolerated his first two shots well. It’s my hope that he is much more comfortable this summer ..

 

[EllieMay]

Oh yes, my sister is back from Alaska. The other Dr that works with her decided to relocate there permanently so she has come back home to resume specialist care in a Mon- Fri facility... She has Cinders younger Sister so We met At a park for a good walk and catch up and also to give the 4 legged children a play date...
Thats all for now! Happy Friday

Poor Ready, I hope he responds well to the meds.
He reminds me of a medieval jousting horse with his armour on.
Happy Friday to you too Heather.

That's great no side effects. Rose, mother in law and I got signed up last night for our first shot. A friend of mine called and said the hospital opened their website last night. I jumped on and got our appointments.
