Okay

Well done Suzy...
Have frittered away too much time today reading craft blogs...
Catch you later.

Thank you Bean, but I can't take the credit...

I've been dropping in and out in between nagging kids and painting.

Synoptic Situation: 3:00 pm EDT Sunday

Viv, definitely a time to stay home and inside if you can! Has it started yet?

Oh, Viv, not your turn, surely??

Suzy, covered in crud! (my plants that is)

Take care Viv, be safe
Oh sorry Hello all,
hope everyone is doing ok

Suzy, tell that kid, from someone who is too close to this horrible event, that she has captured the emotion I have been feeling all week.
That was amazing, it has given me tingles up my spine!

Enough already! Haven't we all had enough to cope with!
I hope everything is alright Viv.

Gday Liz, sorry I didn't catch your chat.

Hi girls. So far so good here. We have had that all day what they forecasted. I keep telling Mother Nature to send the rain South !!

No Susan, we have Only had 10 inches so far.
I am sure you beat that rainfall where you live by a long shot.
What a clean up ahead of you.

Nobody about V V.

Back to my knitting

Looks like everyone has a life but me.

No not everyone Viv, glad to hear you are safe. Goodnight All.
Loved that site Bean, such practical info.

Just skimmed through the last 6 pages.
Someone has a way with words Suzy!
Hope you do not get too much rain Viv.
We think of you often Mamacita. It is very hard not to still have the one you have loved for most of your life beside you.Our loving thoughts go out to you.
Tami's Mum. There is an injection you can get in the first few days which often cures the shingles.Otherwise they can sometimes last for years. I play bowls with a woman in her 80's who still gets an annoying itch after about 3 years.
Stella, hope the shoulder is soon much better.
Julie, I am not looking after Laura quite as much now, although I will have her this Wednesday as Sharon has an extra day at work.
About all I can remember for now.

I have now done some of the puzzles so time I went to bed. Nite all.
(Although it will be a greeting soon for all the topsiders)

EVERYBODY

Good Maen Sudokuland!


Coffee, Tea and hot chocolate available, come have a cup with me.

I might have to put on my winter clothes again, today will not be as warm, and it will be rainy. Yep, spring is put on hold for a couple of days.

Viv, prayers and fingers crossed for no flooding from that weather system you have.

It was most interesting to read, in that article BEAN posted, that former fire victims appreciated the hand made things, the quilts. I had seen mention of a puilt project for the fire victims, I must pass along that note to them. I also need to make some blocks for that project. Thank you Bean for posting that link.

I need a refill, Hugs and catch you later.

Just want to thank everyone for their good wishes. Also want to let you know my name is Bobbi, and you are all welcome to call me that.

Thanks Bobbi. I like "Mom", too, if you don't mind.

Slept in, 'cause no new calves expected.
Am having brunch now.... Blueberry herbal tea and leftover chinese.

STILL nobody here, so I'm gonna toddle off and do ffuts and krow.

While I had 6 hours sleep there were only 6 posts.
Hi Bobbi, like you it was my daughter who introduced me to the puzzles over 3 years ago. As we are probably of a similar age I would be happy to call you Bobbi.( my daughter still does the puzzles nearly every day but does not have time to read comments)

Just had another calf born.... a female..... out of one of my favorite cows.

Yeah, I noticed, June. Where is everybody????

Heidi,I keep thinking of all the calves and other animals joining your Surreal farm this spring. Dad staggered our calves throughout the year as we had a dairy farm. He always knew when a cow was about to drop a calf but only got up at night if he heard the cow bellow in a way he knew it was in trouble.

With beef cattle, we ship them out to the feedlot together, so we need the calves as uniform in age and size as possible. The buyers want a uniform, predictable group. After more than a dozen years doing this retained ownership, the big processors know what to expect from our herd, so we get premiums for ours, above the going price. Ours DO top the market nationally every year.

Morning all!
Morning rush is over and I have an empty house!!

I agree, not many comments overnight...

Morning June and Heidi. Heidi I read recently that naming Dairy cows and treating them as part of the family increases milk yields. I wonder if yours do well because you think of them as individuals?

We have a few cows that give us no warning as to when they're gonna calve. Cows are SUPPOSED to bag up before calving, but these few don't bag up until they actually give birth. I have studied them 2 hours before they calve, and am convinced that they won't calve for 2 more weeks. Then there is one cow who bellows like crazy when she goes in labor. It sounds like she thinks the world is coming to an end. After 1/2 hour of bellowing, she pops the calf out easily.

I think they do well because of good genetics and good care.

Suzy!

Bobbi, you can change your name from Trouble's Mom if you like. Brat can do it for you, or you can click on 'update details' at the top right of the page and put Bobbi in the User Name field where Trouble's Mom would be now. Then at the bottom left of that page select the 'update details' button and you're done!

'Morning Suzy. We had over 120 cows, with about 100 going through the dairy twice a day, so they did not all have names. Dad knew all the cows and if one did not turn up to be milked he always knew.

Okay, I'm ready for a fact for the day - what happens when a cow 'bags up'?

I'll go and refill my coffee while I'm waiting and anticipating learning something new...

Good Morning SA7, hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

In answer to your question Suzy, that is when I buy too many handbags. He eheheh

Viv, I've got the giggles now - you're a cow???

I think I need a coffee too.
